This actually inspired me to see how nice of a theme you could do with ThemeRoller alone: http://gemdash.tumblr.com/post/3941893390/cupertino-a-jquery... It's not great but I think it came out pretty good.

It all depends on who your 80% target market is (not who your power user market is). I assume its not people who read Hacker News (as most of them are just as likely to build forms from scratch). If your market is marginally techy - but n

This is really cool. I like the form building interface when it's in full screen. Very nice design, snappy UI. However, I can't help but feel that you may want to make the "Quick Tools" section way more prominent than the other sections bec

I can't agree with you more - on every single point . Even dumb forms don't work right with ExtJS. One example: there is no sane (or even insane - but documented) way of setting a default option in a combobox, or disabling individual optio

Last time I looked, all the forms-aaS cheap-o plan response caps were pretty low. I usually just end up going with Google Docs Forms - not as nice, but free and unlimited.

This is what I did too. I used the little plastic notches (probably not the right term) that you screw into the wall to mount bathroom mirrors. Two huge white boards, flat, easy to remove, < $30.

>The edit-in-place model as demonstrated in this post makes so much sense. It seems crazy to have a CMS with a separate backend when the backend can be the frontend. Absolutely. In my experience "normal" users are much less confused - a

Just talk to people. There are tons of interesting and friendly people at conferences. Even if you are shy or don't know anyone, just remember (especially at tech conference) a lot of the people there are just as shy/uncomfortable with 'net

It may not be 'real' version control, but remember that huge percentage of people have no idea that such a thing even exists. If you've ever explained version control to a non-developer the second they actually grok what it is, they instant

ASAP. If you are worried about overloading them with technical info, I find it really easy to introduce people to version control with a "Contributing to a Book" metaphor. Where you have multiple authors and editors all working on a book at

IMO Symfony (especially Symfony2) is much more Rails-ish than CakePHP. Cake PHP is Railsish in that it an MVC with psuedo-scaffolding, but Symfony2 is much closer to the real thing.

I keep hoping somebody recorded a video of that talk! It was great, and I always want to share it when the concept of 'Agile' comes up, but can never find a way to sum it adequately.

I'd never heard of OPTIONS before. Do you have any links, besides [1], to more resource on it? Is this a common tactic, or is there a more standard way to add "discover-ability" to REST apis? I usually try to mimic this kind of functionalit

Don't underestimate the value of layer styles. In fact I would say that for most UI design 80% of the "visual style" can be achieved via layer styles. Just make sure to Name and Group your layers, otherwise you can end up with 100s of layer

This is my experience too. I resisted learning Objective-C very much, and tried to avoid learning it via MacRuby. But once I actually resigned myself to really learning Objective-C, I really enjoyed it . Like Ruby/Python it has a specific

That too (the atv increased my Netflix consumption 3-fold). The influx of Netflix apps and devices just before the Holiday season seems to have been a very smart strategy.

Relevant in the overall big picture of landing pages perhaps, but not to the blog post at hand. That's what "Related Posts" sections are for. If you spend the time to get original content, then you should not be afraid to showcase it. If yo

Yes, but the infographics (term used loosely) add nothing to the article. The article doesn't mention them, or give them any context. At best they are large semi-related graphics re-purposed from other sites whose only purpose is to separ

Granted, this one did provide some original content - but all these Ultimate Landing Page articles simply seem to re-hash the same information in a link-baity ( with infographics! ) way. Perhaps its just a knee-jerk reaction to the fact t

Actually I didn't know about that article, but is nice to see the origin of this technique. Mostly took inspiration from HTML5 Boilerplate (also Paul Irish), and previous articles I read. But yes, Paul Irish is awesome, and deserves lots of

I find I rarely need to target any browser other than IE with specific styles, so I usually end up doing something like this, which doesn't rely on JS. <!--[if lt IE 7]><html lang="en" class="no-js ie ie6"><![endif]

Agreed, especially since one of their core markets is non-tech savvy people. Imagine if you've never heard of MailChimp before, and ended up there via Googling "easy newsletter subscriptions". User questions: "What does this do?", "Is it c

Every time I here about regular Soap clients failing, it's always in regard to trying to consume a .NET service. I don't know anything about .NET, but I wonder if there is something profoundly different that is going on behind the scenes,
