O'Reilly Velocity Conference - Amsterdam

My favorite front-end conference has always been O'Reilly's Velocity Conference because the conference series has focused on one of the most undervalued parts of client side coding:  speed.  So often we're so excited that our JavaScript works that we forget that speed, efficiency, and performance are just as important.

The next Velocity event is coming up in Amsterdam, October 28-30.  The best code speed conference is coming to one of the best cities in the world.  Exciting stuff but what's better than a David Walsh Blog discount?!

    Create a Sprited Navigation Menu Using CSS and MooTools

    CSS sprites are all the rage these days. And why shouldn't be? They're easy to implement, have great upside, and usually take little effort to create. Dave Shea wrote an epic CSS sprites navigation post titled CSS Sprites2 - It's JavaScript Time.
