Wow, talk about a hiatus. Looking down at the previous post it's been over a year and a half since the last time my shadow has darkened this doorway. Below are a few recent items of interest regarding development and the Web in general. To me at least. But who am I kidding? I must be the only person left who actually still reads this blog.
jQuery I spent a lot of time evaluating the myriad of JavaScript libraries out there and I've settled on a favorite. jQuery is compact, fast, powerful, easy to use, and extensible. If you haven't tried it, do yourself a favor and do so.
Chrome The long-awaited browser from Google, in beta naturally, has arrived for Windows XP and Vista. Versions for Linux and Mac are on the way. Built from Apple's WebCore (the rendering engine that forms half of Apple's open-source WebKit project), Mozilla's Firefox and V8, the open-source JavaScript engine from Google. Although you'd think they would come up with a more original name, one intriguing feature are tabs that sit externally at the top of the browser window and each one runs in its own virtual space, so one misbehaved Web application won't crash the entire browser. You can also monitor the amount of memory taken up, the amount of CPU used, and the network activity for each tab via the Task Manager.
Google Turns 10 Has it really been that long? Actually, Larry and Sergey first met in 1995 at Stanford where Larry was considering going to grad school and Sergey was assigned to show him around. The rest, as they say, is history. To the best of my knowledge, the magic 9-27-1998 date is when Google was officially incorporated.
