Turn Your Web Application into a Firefox OS App in 5 Minutes
One of the promises that comes with HTML5 mobile apps, especially those to be featured on Firefox OS, is that your existing web applications, if created properly (feature detection, responsive design, etc.), can be turned into a working mobile application in relatively little time. And that's...
![CSS Background Animations]()
CSS Background Animations
Background animations are an awesome touch when used correctly. In the past, I used MooTools to animate a background position. Luckily these days CSS animations are widely supported enough to rely on them to take over JavaScript-based animation tasks. The following simple CSS snippet animates...
![Unicode CSS Classes]()
Unicode CSS Classes
CSS class name structure and consistency is really important; some developers camelcase classnames, others use dashes, and others use underscores. One thing I've learned when toying around by HTML and CSS class names is that you can actually use unicode symbols and icons as classnames.

JS Objects: De”construct”ion
In part 1 of this article series (which you should totally go read if you haven't yet!), I revisited an idea not original to me: JS doesn't have "inheritance" in the traditional sense, and what it does have is more appropriately labeled "behavior delegation" -- the...

JS Objects: Distractions
In part 1 of this article series, I went into great detail (aka, wordiness) about the differences between what the traditional definition of "inheritance" means and how JS's

![Sort Objects by Property with PHP]()
Sort Objects by Property with PHP
I recently needed to display a list of authors within a WordPress blog. The goal was to sort the author list by number of posts before outputting the list. The method for calculating number of posts isn't a sortable key within WordPress'
get_posts, so I had...![Add and Remove Profile Fields to WordPress User Form]()
Add and Remove Profile Fields to WordPress User Form
The WordPress user profile screen allows you to set values for social services but some default services are irrelevant, namely AIM and Yahoo! IM; add to that the fact that Twitter and Facebook fields are missing. You quickly realize that the default form...needs work. WordPress provides...
