SitePoint: Web Development on a Mac

SitePoint: Web Development on a Mac 11/07/2003 08:55 AM
I know, I know - you're all saying out there "who would want to develop PHP-based sites on a Mac these days?" Well, the surprising answer is that a Mac running the new OS X has almost all of the tools already built in to create sites on a local or remote machine. This SitePoint article details some of these features.

My first SitePoint article

My first SitePoint article 12/10/2003 10:11 PM

Enhancing Structural Markup with JavaScript is my first published article for SitePoint, a web development portal that is also home to some of the best web design forums on the web. I've been a big fan of SitePoint for a number of years and it's great to finally have contributed something to the site. The article discusses two methods of building useful Javascript effects on top of well structured markup and is based on my easytoggle and blockquote citations experiments, both previously featured on this blog.

Associated trivia: The dopey looking photograph the accompanies my profile was taken outside a youth hostel in Amsterdam earlier this year.

SitePoint: OS X for Web Development 12/18/2003 09:20 AM
If you're one of the lucky ones (yes, I'm a Mac user) that use the latest operating system from Apple, OS X, then you probably know by now that you can run things just like a regular Unix-based machine. This includes setting up your own Apache/PHP/MySQL/Linux installation (LAMP, or in this case, LAMX). But where do you start? Well, this new article from SitePoint should get you headed in the right direction.

SitePoint on TopStyle

SitePoint on TopStyle 08/05/2004 02:28 PM

SitePoint has some very kind words for TopStyle today. TopStyle LITE gets most of the attention since the article is about free Windows web design tools, but they also give kudos to TopStyle PRO:

"TopStyle Pro is the complete package, capable of high-level editing on much more than just CSS. At around $US80, it represents real value for anyone who spends a significant part of their day working with CSS. The browser profiles alone are worth the entry price."

I developed this tutorial to help the age PHP-MySQL application developer expand his or database horizons to include IBM's powerful database offering.

Javascript from Python

Javascript from Python 12/29/2003 06:51 PM

In a way I'm disappointed to see python-sp idermonkey released. It's a Python wrapper around the Mozilla project's SpiderMonkey Javascript engine which allows Python scripts to execute Javascript code in a rock-solid, battle-tested embedded interpreter.

Why the disappointment? Because just 5 days ago I decided that a Python wrapper for SpiderMonkey would be the ideal project for me to finally attempt to do something productive with C. John J. Lee evidently beat me to it. I can't complain though, as I was estimating a good six months to figure out how to get it all working.

Pettiness aside, this looks like a really valuable project. In addition to being critical for such things as web based unit testing (John's DOMForm does exactly that) it may also provide a useful "sandbox" protected interpreted scripting language for Python projects. Python's own rexec module is meant to provide a safe sandbox for executing potentially hostile code but has been disabled due to potential vulnerabilities. The SeaMonkey Javascript interpreter is tried and tested in this capacity, at least in its incarnation within the Mozilla family of web browsers.

Easy JavaScript Autocomplete /
Intellisense Script

Easy JavaScript Autocomplete /
Intellisense Script 04/15/2005 06:14 PM

I occasionally run into situations where it would be really great to add an 'intellisense' feature to a text input on a web form. That is, something along the lines of AutoComplete or Google Suggest.

There are a bunch of scripts available on the Internets to handle this for you, but they all do things their own way, and they're never exactly what yor want. I'm always running into the same problems with them:

• Only works in IE. Bye.
• Big hairy mass of code. The usual situation is that I want to customize some element of the script's behavior, but the code is so dense and obtuse that I can't make changes without breaking things.
• No documentation. A big hairy mass of code is even harder to deal with if you don't know what it's supposed to do in the first place.

So, I finally broke down and wrote my own script. It may not be better than what's out there, but hopefully it's easier to understand.

Going JavaScript-less?

Going JavaScript-less? 02/18/2004 02:19 AM

How many people actually shut off JavaScript in their browsers? In the Web development world, you're constantly advised not to depend on JavaScript because "[insert double-digit percentage here] of Web surfers shut off JavaScript."

I have never known someone who shut off JavaScript. I have used a lot of computers in my life — many not my own — and never in one case have I noticed that JavaScript was intentionally disabled. I have never had anyone I know tell me that they shut off JavaScript to solve a problem. I have never even been remotely tempted to do this myself.

Is there anyone out there who has actually shut off JavaScript in their browser? Can you tell us why?
