Get One Month of Treehouse Membership Free
My new sponsor, Treehouse, is a web-based learning site that uses high quality video tutorials to teach you a new programming language, a new business strategy, and even place you in a job after you've graduated. Treehouse's learning path is great because they fill the gap between a year or two in school (which seasoned developers of other languages don't need) and venturing in the jungle of Google-search-to-find-a-hopefully-good-written-tutorial.

As part of their sponsorship of this blog, Treehouse is offering a month of learning for free. Do yourself a favor and make the best of this offer. Their library current includes web development (CSS, JavaScript, HTML5, PhotoShop), server side development (PHP, Ruby on Rails), mobile development (iOS, Android), and more. Go get started!

The jQuery homepage has a pretty suave tooltip-like effect as seen below:

![HTML5’s placeholder Attribute]()
HTML5 has introduced many features to the browser; some HTML-based, some in the form of JavaScript APIs, but all of them useful. One of my favorites if the introduction of the placeholder attribute to INPUT elements. The placeholder attribute shows text in a field until the...
