Merry Christmas (and a few links)
It’s been a busy time of year. Apart from preparing for Christmas and wrapping up the odd project, I’ve been away for a while, attending my Grandfather’s funeral. In the meantime I missed a few things worth writing about, so here’s a Christmas present in the form of a few links:
- WCAG 2.0 becomes a W3C Recommendation. At last web accessibility takes a big step forward from version 1.0.
- Roger Johansson has a round up of how to create more accessible Google Maps.
- TechCrunch came out with a new search engine based on Yahoo!’s BOSS ‘Vertical Lens’ custom search technology. Sadly only available to Yahoo! partners at the moment…
- Robert Nyman released a new version of his Inline Code Finder Firefox extension—which now handles inline CSS as well as JavaScript.
- Peter Nederlof’s Whatever:hover reached version 3. It now works with AJAX, and supports :focus and :active as well as :hover.
- Cameron Moll has a discussion about resources for a starting a new project.
- Andy Clarke has two posts on beautiful web typography at For a Beautiful Web: Typesetting the Waste Land and Typography is Poetry.
- Benjamin Smedberg takes a look at a crop of cross-browser issues with using SVG on the web.
- Aza Raskin writes about real-world usability – with paper receipts, no less.
- No Christmas links roundup would be complete without mention of 24ways. From the design to development transition to tips on surviving the recession, the advent calendar for web geeks is as brilliant as ever.
And a bonus link: Merlin Mann’s ‘Is this really what you want to be doing right now?’ The answer, of course, is no, I have Christmas to celebrate. ;)
Merry Christmas!
