  1. Testing and Django by Carl Meyer — Marc’s PyCon 2012 Notes 1.0 documentation

    Good, useful, notes on a presentation about testing in Django. (Actually, go up to all of Marc’s PyCon 2012 notes for loads more good stuff.)

  2. Responsive Web Design Frameworks, Grid Systems and Starter Kits

    Good summary of lots HTML/CSS frameworks. (via mildlydiverting)

  3. Orbe.us | ReKognition

    A replacement for the Face.com API? But, judging by the demo, it seems much, much worse at face detection than Face.com.

  4. Pareidoloop

    “1. generate random polygons. 2. feed them into a face detector. 3. mutate to increase recognition confidence.” All done in-browser. Lovely stuff from Philip McCarthy. Code on Github.

  5. Chrome Web Store - Pendule

    I stumbled across this Chrome add-on yesterday which provides lots of very handy things that the standard developer tools don’t.

  6. WordPress › Toolbox « Free WordPress Themes

    “A semantic, HTML5, canvas for CSS artists and an ultra-minimal set of super-clean templates for your own WordPress theme development.”

  7. WordPress › Boilerplate « Free WordPress Themes

    “A merger … of the HTML5 Boilerplate and the Starkers theme.” Handy for starting theme development with. I imagine.

  8. Peity • progressive pie charts

    Nice jQuery plugin for turning lists of numbers into little pie charts, graphs or bar charts. Sparklines. (via Brett Terpstra)

  9. Home - Annotator - Annotating the Web

    “An open-source JavaScript library and tool that can be added to any webpage to make it annotatable. Annotations can have comments, tags, users and more.” (via Brett Terpstra)

    Automated setting up of Microsoft’s virtual machines for testing versions of Internet Explorer, using VirtualBox. (via @mattb)

  11. A successful Git branching model » nvie.com

    Good-sounding group workflow for using Git. (Last year I apparently already linked to the modified version they use at GitHub.) (via Haddock)

  12. Pimping out git log - Bart’s Blog

    Very nice and super-easy to implement. See the Update for the most recent command. (via Haddock)

  13. Pixastic: JavaScript Image Processing

    I keep forgetting the name of this and appear to have not bookmarked it before. “A JavaScript library which allows you to perform a variety of operations, filters and fancy effects on images.”

  14. Infrastructure for Startups

    Even without the talk itself, Paul Hammond’s slides are a good, sensible read. (via @infovore)

  15. qTranslate | www.qianqin.de

    Translation plugin for WordPress (maybe simpler than WPML?).

  16. 76 Premium WordPress Themes With Over 100k Customers

    Some more shiny happy themes.

  17. Themes | Kriesi.at - Wordpress Themes and HTML Templates

    Look alright. For future reference.

  18. About HTML semantics and front-end architecture – Nicolas Gallagher

    Really good in-depth thoughts about writing HTML/CSS. Reminds me a bit of that SMACSS style guide (which I can *never* remember the name/acronym for). (via Dotcode)

  19. Wysihtml5 - A better approach to rich text editing

    Looks nice. IE8+ (and other modernish browsers). (via @dotcode)

  20. Why do web sites and software take so long to build? And why is it so hard? at Scott Porad

    “In the history of the world, is there one thing you can think of that has been hand-made, and on such a large scale as software, that was as complex?”

  21. Modern Web Development

    Pretty comprehensive and good look at the Chrome developer tools. A bunch of things I didn’t know or had simply ignored. (via @simonw)

  22. 24 ways: Rock Solid HTML Emails

    2009, but I assume this is still a good overview of what you should and shouldn’t do when making HTML emails.

  23. EightMedia/hammer.js

    “A javascript library that can be used to control gestures on touch devices. It supports the following gestures: Tap; Double tap; Hold; Drag; Transform (pinch).” Seems to work well.

  24. Issue #3057: bootstrap-dropdown.js clearMenus() needs ; at the end · twitter/bootstrap

    Long, long discussion over whether to use a semi-colon or not. Saved to show non-coders how important the smallest details can be. And, also, USE SEMI-COLONS, WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?!

  25. Essential JavaScript Design Patterns

    Looks very, very good. But seeing this all on one page, rather than in book format makes my brain shake like it’s about to explode. Too. Much. Stuff. To. Know. (via Tom Taylor)

  26. A Baseline for Front-End Developers - Adventures in JavaScript Development

    All good stuff. But I must admit, after doing front end dev work (not solely, but a lot) over the past, what, 17 years, these days it’s really, really hard to keep up. (via Dotcode)

  27. PHP: a fractal of bad design - fuzzy notepad

    This is all true, and so it would be good to read something about why PHP has been *so* popular despite being so bad. (via Paul Mison)

  28. Edit Flow

    This WordPress plugin looks like the bee’s knees. Calendar, editorial comments, custom statuses, editorial metadata. And the site looks like it’s been made by competent, caring people.

  29. BuddyPress.org

    This looks nice, and seems popular, although I wonder if it’s overkill. Promising. Need to actually try these things.

  30. Simple:Press

    Another WordPress forum plugin. I dream of seeing one of these that looks simple and beautiful.

  31. WordPress › Mingle Forum « WordPress Plugins

    WordPress forum plugin that claims to be simple and good. Still looks like an old fashioned phpBB style forum though. (If you have a recommendation for a good WP forum plugin, do let me know!)

  32. Luxurious Animals Blog - Combining Easel.js and Box2d in Canvas

    I have no plans to use this stuff, but it seems good, so if I bookmark it, it’s as good as learned!

  33. EaselJS: A Javascript Library for Working with the HTML5 Canvas Element.

    What it says in the title. “The API is loosely based on Flash’s display list, and should be easy to pick up for both JS and AS3 developers.”

  34. Seth Ladd’s Blog: Box2D orientation for the JavaScript developer

    A series of posts describing how to use Box2D, “an open source 2D physics engine” with JavaScript.

    “A normalized approach to hiding the address bar on iOS and Android”

  36. Themify : Awesome WordPress Themes

    More affordable, OK, off-the-shelf templates, for future reference.

  37. WordPress | ThemeForest

    Also, because I’ll probably forget the name. Oodles and oodles of WordPress themes for not much money. A big variety but no good way to narrow them down (and I’m not sure what tools would help).

  38. StudioPress Themes

    Some solid-looking WordPress themes, for future reference. But I’m glazing over looking through so many themes with a certain kind of middle-of-the-roadness to them.

  39. New Yorker | PressJunkie

    I’m not saying it’s great design, but I like that as an example of a very different front page for a WordPress site.

  40. The Best WordPress Membership Plugin | WinkPress ;)

    A summary of several subscription / membership plugins for WordPress, from 2011, with lots of recent comments.

  41. wp-Member.com – WordPress Membership Plugin with Paypal, Google Checkout and Authorize.net

    Another subscription plugin. (Have you used something like this? I’d love recommendations or warnings.)

  42. The ultimate WordPress membership site plugin - ever feature you need and easy to use

    Plugin that allows users to have pay-for subscriptions and access to subscriber-only content.

  43. Microjs: Fantastic Micro-Frameworks and Micro-Libraries for Fun and Profit!

    A list of small JavaScript libraries for doing very specific things, in contrast to something bigger like jQuery. (via Tom Carden commenting on Mike Migurski’s site)

  44. Ender

    “Ender is a full featured package manager for your browser. It allows you to search, install, manage, and compile front-end javascript packages and their dependencies for the web.” Requires node.js and NPM (via Tom Carden commenting on Mike Migurski’s site)

  45. Cyberdelia/django-pipeline

    Good-looking thing for compressing and concatenating CSS and JavaScript files with Django. Good documentation, handles LESS, SASS, CoffeeScript etc. Nice.

  46. Create marker with custom labels in Google Maps API v3 | Uncle Tomm’s blog

    This was handy for making markers on Google Maps with a custom marker image and custom text on the marker.

  47. jQuery Quicksand plugin

    Nice animated, automated sorting of HTML elements. Seems a bit odd internally - it uses or makes a copy of everything you’re sorting, but the ultimate effect is nice.

  48. Brikis98/lilac - GitHub

    “This project shows an example of how to use node.js to: Share backbone.js models between server and client; Share dust templates between server and client; Split up rendering between server and client.” (via LinkedIn Engineering)

    A nice walk-through of basic Node.js stuff for a beginner like me.

  50. Tumult Hype

    HTML5 authoring tool, for making animations, interactive thingummies, etc. $50. Hadn’t seen it before, looks good for complex stuff. (via Daring Fireball)
