Thursday, July 8th, 2010- Remember SASS/LESS, my new favorites? Here are TextMate bundles for them: SASS TextMate Bundle / LESS TextMate Bundle
- Compass Style is a large bundle of SASS functions and shortcuts (such as border-radius, box-shadow, gradient etc.). Watch the 4 minutes introduction and prepare to be amazed, this is a truly changer.
- ScottGu (Microsoft) introduces “Razor” – a new view engine for ASP.NET. Cute.
- WhatTheCommit – can’t decide which commit message to put? Use this generator. Bash command for the lazy people (via @yokofakun’s twitter):
svn commit -m "`curl "http://whatthecommit.com/" | grep '^<p>' | cut -d '>' -f 2`" src/mycode
- GeddyJS – Super cool JS MVC framework for Node.js. I’ll probably test it someday. Nice to see JS on the Server-Side after years with JScript on Classic ASP.
- Andrew Hoyer Experiments – Way too cool <canvas> animation and other JavaScript experiments
- JavaScript Random Hints, by one of my favorite blogs, WebReflection

Monday, June 28th, 2010First post in a series to be. Several (very) interesting links I encountered lately.
- CSS Reloader – Essential FF add-on that reloads external CSS files without refreshing the whole page. A MUST HAVE + time saver.
- Wow, I’m in love with SASS/LESS.CSS/DotLESS. This is how CSS should look like. Well, these have been around for a long time but after using it once, I can’t imagine I’ll ever go back. All of them offer the same functionality, however, SASS has 2 types of syntax (I chose SCSS which is similar to LESS’s).
- IE9 new preview promises a lot. W3C compliance and speed. Wait, isn’t it what we wanted?
- HTML5Rocks – HTML5 playground
- Smokescreen – Flash to HTML5. A new era?
- WP Super Cache – If you have a WordPress blog, this can reduce load times by caching pages to static HTML files. Neat.
- CSS3 Please TextMate Bundle – CSS3 Please is a site that shows how to use CSS3 on all browsers. Apparently, as past experience shows, till 2013 or so we’ll have to use specific browser prefixes (-webkit-, -moz- etc.). This TextMate bundle handles all these stuff with code snippets.
- jsFiddle / jsdo.it – Write code snippets with common JS libraries online, share them, fork other snippets. The first is MooTools driven, the second is jQuery driven.
- jqueryvsmootools – Why I prefer MooTools over jQuery
