Creating Your Own Gravity and Space Simulator
25.1.2019
Space is vast. Space is awesome. Space is difficult to understand — or so people tend to think. But in this tutorial I am going to show you that this is not the case.

24.1.2019

Tam je nikdo neznal. Jak George Harrison pustil horníkům v USA hit Beatles
24.1.2019
Do hornického městečka přijel jako obyčejný neznámý mladík. Doma v Británii už však po něm šílely davy. Přivezl s sebou i čerstvý singl She Loves You, ale ohlas v místním rádiu nevzbudil. Podívejte se, v jakém studiu tehdy na americké půdě poprvé promluvil někdo z Beatles, a na jaké technice...

Would You Watch a Documentary Walking Through Codebases?
22.1.2019
This resonated pretty strongly with people:
I’d watch a documentary series of developers giving a tour of their codebases.

I think I was watching some random Netflix documentary and daydreaming that the subject was actually something I was super...
Netlify Makes Deployments a Cinch
22.1.2019
(This is a sponsored post.)
Let's say you were going to design the easiest way to deploy a static site you can possibly imagine. If I was tasked with that, I'd say, well, it would deploy whenever I push to my master branch, and I'd tell it what command to run to build my site. Or maybe it has...

New CodePen Feature: Prefill Embeds
21.1.2019
I've very excited to have this feature released for CodePen. It's very progressive enhancement friendly in the sense that you can take any <pre> block of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (or any combination of them) and enhance it into an embed, meaning you can see the rendered output. It also...
Angular, Autoprefixer, IE11, and CSS Grid Walk into a Bar…
18.1.2019
I am attracted to the idea that you shouldn't care how the code you author ends up in the browser. It's already minified. It's already gzipped. It's already transmogrified (real word!) by things that polyfill it, things that convert it into code that older browsers understand, things that make...
2019 CSS Wishlist
17.1.2019
What do you wish CSS could do natively that it can't do now? First, let's review the last time we did this in 2013.

How Well Do You Know CSS Layout?
15.1.2019
The difference between a CSS good experience and a long frustrating one is oftentimes a matter of a few small details. CSS is indeed nuanced. One of the most common areas where I see struggles is layout. Personally, I like to study patterns. I notice that I tend to use a small group of patterns...
CSS doesn’t suck
15.1.2019
I'm not so protective of CSS that I'm above hearing it criticized, but I'm certainly in agreement here. CSS does not suck. I love how the post is framed to hype up current CSS features the way features of other languages and tools are hyped:
Imagine if a tech dude walked on stage at a conference...
JavaScript Labels
15.1.2019
No matter how long you’ve been a JavaScript developer, there will always be language features that you didn’t know about until you saw them in a fringe piece of code. Your reaction generally is a bit like: One of those features I see developers quizically trying to figure out...
