BarCamp Tampa Bay
Another quarter, another BarCamp. At least that's what it feels like between all the BarCamps taking place between Orlando, Miami and Tampa this year. This past weekend was Tampa's second annual BarCamp at the USF College of Business Administration, and my first BarCamp in Tampa.
Talks on Saturday included the latest IT & web development technologies and Sunday's talks (which I didn't attend) centered around new media. Standout talks included James Tryon talking on how to be a better freelancer, Steve Bristol's giving Advice to Startups, and a couple different talks on iPhone development. Another talk demonstrated the some really interesting, new technology called Augmented Reality. Continue reading…
Front-End Design Conference
This past Friday the first Front-End Design Conference was held in St. Petersburg, FL. Ryan and I made the early morning drive to St. Petersburg for the festivities.
For awhile there hasn't been a conference or event that has focused on front-end design. Okay, there has been but nothing even remotely close to Orlando. I was surprised to hear about the Front-End Design Conference and quickly made plans to attend (thanks to NFi for covering the cost for the tickets). And it was an even bigger reason to attend when I found out the speaker lineup who included folks and companies I've actually heard of and follow.
Speakers included Kevin Hale of Wufoo, Jonathon Longnecker of Forty Seven Media, Grant Friedman of Colorburned and Chris Coyier of CSS-Tricks who had a great talk on jQuery. Continue reading…
Fixing the Browser Resize Render Problem
You're site is done and launched. You've fixed every bug but you overlooked one — when you resize the browser and scroll right, the background images fail to render across the entire width like they should. This most likely won't affect a lot of users but for the people who like to surf the web with small browser windows or who have small screen resolutions (800×600), it's a big problem.
Recently I've encountered a problem with how browsers render elements when the window is resized. Depending on the site's design, this can be a very noticeable flaw to an otherwise good site. And the problem just isn't with IE this time (shocker). The problem exists in all browsers. It surprises me that a few big name site's haven't fixed — or maybe they don't know — that the problem exists (37signals.com). Continue reading…
The CSS Overflow Trick
For those who work with front-end code, clearing floated elements has probably been one of the most common layout problems when using CSS. The problem is brought on when an unfloated container has a floated element or elements. The parent looks like in takes up no space at all while the floated elements seem to fall out of the parent. Frustrating stuff.
Traditional fixes consisted of either A) setting an element with clear: both; after the floated element or B) basically floating everything. Option A is not semantic and option B is very inefficient. I've used both options since I've learned CSS so I was surprised when I read Sitepoint's article about how to clear floats easily. Continue reading…
Using Tripoli – A CSS Framework
Okay, so its not exactly a framework in the traditional sense of coding but it is and can be used as a solid CSS reset.
Tripoli is a generic CSS standard for HTML rendering. By resetting and rebuilding browser standards, Tripoli forms a stable, cross-browser rendering foundation for your web projects.
