You can fit microdata into any markup. It's just some HTML attributes, plus the values that are already visible on your page.

Well, if you used microdata, you have an easy migration path, and if you used some other syntax, you don't. You can call that whatever you like, but it doesn't change the facts.

This is essentially everything I would have said on the subject. Python 3 is technically very good, but no one is using it, hence no commercial interest in the book. The optimist would say it was just ahead of its time. The pessimist would

Interesting deductions! I just wanted to pipe in here to confirm that your math and your stated assumptions are correct. My take is the standard 10%. My "top tier" status, as you flatteringly put it, bought me the freedom to simultaneously

Here's the story about the name: I wrote http://diveintomark.org/archives/2010/01/29/tinkerers-sunset earlier this year, decrying the lack of "tinkerability" of the iPad and similar closed devices. "There won't ever be a MacsBug for the i

I (the author) would agree with this statement, except for the baffling fact that Google Chrome Frame has a non-zero number of users. So obviously some people thought "I don't want a new browser, but I'd be OK with installing this plugin.

My build scripts are such an "evolved" mish-mash of Python3, Python2, Java, makefiles, and shell scripts that I'm amazed they work for me , much less for anyone else. (This point was brought home to me when I moved to a new laptop and spen

Ah, the oddities of CSS. The first issue is because I'm using custom fonts via @font-face. Firefox has made some... design decisions... that cause the effect you're seeing. I've actually just recently discovered a way to reduce the number o

This is a huge part of Android that, IMO, doesn't get enough press. On the iPhone, an "app" is a silo. You run it, it takes over, you go back to the home screen, it stops (modulo some limited background processing in iOS 4). On Android, an

I've been leading. I've gotten rid of basically everything I can get rid of without asking for permission, and that has inspired my wife to clean up some of her stuff too. It took my about two years, but now I've gotten to the hard stuff,

I've touched up the example source a bit to be closer (in style) to the original. I may want to talk about "which tags implicitly close others" but that's not the subject of this chapter, and having unclosed tags in the example source is di
