Web Standards 12/03/2002 11:46 AM

I spent a bit of time on trying to make my site more standards compliant. It now passes the XHTML, CSS, and 508 tests for the front page, although there are still some things to work on for section 508. My archive pages before November aren't 100% XHTML compliant, but thats coming. It really feels good to be standards compliant, its like putting on a fresh pair of socks, or something like that. It also, however takes some getting used to from my old HTML 4.0 ways to write compliant code, although the time it takes saves me a bundle and a half of time in the long run.

Standards is a big issue, yet SO many people look past it, using <font> tags (!), some of them with uppercase letters for tag names!!!! Jeesh! Get with it people!

I would further like to say, only sissy's use WYSIWYG. CSS and XHTML ain't that hard.

Standards Savings

Eric Meyer has an interesting post about how using standards-oriented designs provides a faster web site.

That's certainly true in my experience, but what I really benefit from is the ease of maintaining and updating my site since I switched to standards-based design. In the bad old days, I relied on bloated, table-based, font-laden HTML for my site design. My finished site would look decent enough, but a few months down the road when I wanted to update it, I'd be faced with a mess of nested tags, stacked like tinkertoys and just waiting to fall apart. After I caught on to the benefits of CSS and redesigned my site (using TopStyle, of course!), maintaining my site became much less of a chore.

So. even if you have a small site and don't think you'd really benefit from the bandwidth reduction of standards-based design, chances are you'll still benefit overall from giving up outdated HTML and relying on CSS/XHTML.

Linux Standards Set

Linux Standards Set 09/14/2004 03:08 PM

The Free Standards Group announced this morning the availability of the Linux Standard Base (LSB) 2.0, an essential component for the long-term market success of Linux. By ensuring a common, agreed-upon standard from which Linux applications may be developed, the LSB supports Linux developer's competition with Microsoft and its Windows operating system.

The Free Standards Group is a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing and promoting open source software standards. The Linux Standard Base, one of the organization's projects, helps to prevent divergence in Linux development and the potential for conflicting Linux distributions: applications written for one Linux distribution should, if the LSB is followed, work on all distributions.

Dave's Opinion
The Linux Standard Base specification contains a base set of APIs, libraries and interoperability standards. These are the fundamental tools necessary to create an industry-wide Linux standard. This is the right way to develop an operating system.

AOL's Garden Might Flourish Without Rainman: I did some searching for "Rainman" and didn't find much.

Over the past year, the Dulles new-media pioneer built a fancy new system to publish its fare not in the company's proprietary programming language called Rainman but in hypertext markup language (HTML), the open standard used to create regular Web sites. AOL fired up the new system two weeks ago.

AP: McCain condemns anti-Kerry ads, calls on White House to follow suii. Republican Sen. John McCain, a former prisoner of war in Vietnam, called an ad criticizing John Kerry's military service "dishonest and dishonorable" and urged the White House on Thursday to condemn it as well. The White House declined.

You expected anything different? Neither did I.

Conformance to ISO Standards for C++

Conformance to ISO Standards for C++ 04/23/2004 05:52 PM
Microsoft® Visual C++® .NET 2003 achieves the highest level of standards-conformation of any release of Visual C++. Visual C++ was first launched in 1993, and the ISO C++ standard dates from 1997. Each release of Visual C++ since the standard has become more compliant, and this release achieves roughly 98% compliance. (No single industry accepted standardized test-suite exists to compare or measure C++ compiler implementations. Three popular suites are Dinkumware, Perennial, and Plum Hall. Visual C++ .NET 2003 was tested against all three).

Standards nazis

Standards nazis 06/08/2004 08:49 AM

When we were developing SOAP in 1998 and 1999, another group was working on WebDAV. SOAP was higher level, you could create a toolkit that mapped SOAP calls on the procedure-calling mechanism in any scripting system. I never understood WebDAV, so I hired a smart young guy to implement it for UserLand (he works at IBM now). Never happened.

There were three groups at Microsoft, one working on WebDAV, another working with Allaire on WDDX, and a third working on SOAP. Anyway, if this were a horror movie, we'd say They're baaaaack, about the WebDAV folk. Amazingly, they're talking about retrofitting weblog APIs to be part of WebDAV. What an stunningly stupid step backwards.

Some corporate programmers are amazing that way, rapidly driving off the cliff to get off the high road and quickly get mired in the mud. Glad I'm not involved in that debate. Eventually even SOAP got mired, so we stuck with XML-RPC. Oh for the good old days, when I could ratify a standard proposed by Evan in a matter of hours. Look at all the overhead that's come into it. Blogging as a technical art, may almost be over, the standards nazis are taking over.
