Last year during Full Frontal Javascript Conference at November I got an idea of arranging some kind of event for (frontend) web developers in Finland. The sad truth is that we don’t have such events at all.

This article contains the top picks from week #16. The main weight is heavily on CSS, including my latest article called “CSS3 Transitions – Are We There Yet?”

Cascading Style Sheets 3 has been available for “some time” (first time introduced nine years ago). However, CSS3 hasn’t been available in common use for more than two years.

CSS3 Transitions in real use were introduced in late 2007 by Safari. At that time, they were referred as “CSS Animations”, but the terminology changed when Safari introduced their proprietary features also called “CSS Animations”.

I’ve split the topic in two articles. In this first article I’ll make a generic overview on CSS3 Transitions. Additionally, I’ll introduce some of the basic implementations and evaluate few CSS properties, meant for creating transformations and transitions

This article also contains references to excellent CSS3 articles. So after reading this article, go ahead and upgrade your knowledge about CSS3 Transitions with them.

Webdev Weekly has been on a break for few weeks. From now on, I’m going to post the best links related to web development and design much more often (aka weekly).

This week’s article includes only few, but very good links to strong articles and websites.

In web development, I love facing unexpected problems I haven’t seen before. It’s an excellent situation to learn new things. And the moment right after I’ve found a solution – it’s a perfect moment.

But when I can’t find a solution, no matter how hard I try, and especially when I can’t find anything from Google that could help me.. well, I get very frustrated.

In this brief article, I’ll go through one problematic situation that really got me frustrated. Plus, this hopefully can be found via Google and therefore works as a solution to anyone who’s facing a same problem.

It’s somewhat usual to leave the testing with Internet Explorer until the end of the project. This is quite acceptable when you’re dealing mainly with layout issues.

But when you’re building a web application with loads of features, there are several issues to struggle with: constant debugging, client-side performance, proprietary bugs and so on. However, getting your hands dirty with IE doesn’t always feel as comfortable as with other browsers.

In this article, I’m going to list and review different set of tools, which will help you and make your debugging and testing process in Internet Explorer much more enjoyable.

In this article, I’ll provide ten small Javascript tips, mainly aimed for beginner and intermediate Javascript developers.

There was at least one major event last week related to web development, when the latest version of jQuery was released. This article covers the highlights and most important resources about jQuery 1.4, but in addition includes many other quality resources for web developers.

Full version of jQuery 1.4 was released some time ago. Also, the final version of jQuery 1.4 API is now published.

Go ahead and give it a try. And remember to keep yourself updated by the action and buzz around jQuery 1.4 by following The 14 Days of jQuery event.

Here, I’ve gathered some of the top HTML, CSS, Javascript and General Web Development resources from 1st week of 2010.

It’s time to bring back Webdev Weekly and gather some of the best resources from past week. Enjoy!

In this article, we will solve Opera’s onload issue caused by caching, and another problem, which occurs when adding images dynamically with javascript.

I was about not to publish anything before Christmas – just calming down, taking some extra time to get my blog design finished, plugins installed, and so on..

..but no. I got way too excited when I heard today that Opera 10.5 pre-alpha for Labs was released. In other words, this means that an updated version of Opera’s layout engine, Presto, was out to play with – meaning, that CSS3 Transformations and Transitions are available also for Opera.

In this article, we write some lines of CSS and create rotating transform effect with all the common browsers, including Internet Explorer and the latest version of Opera.

Times are changing and my site is going to be redesigned soon.
I’ll start by redirecting all the former URLs to new ones. Hence the blog feed is redirected to a new address http://samuli.hakoniemi.net/feed.
