HTML5 Boilerplate - A rock-solid default template for HTML5 awesome.
january 2012 by roel
HTML5 Boilerplate is the professional badass's base HTML/CSS/JS template for a fast, robust and future-proof site.
After more than three years in iterative development, you get the best of the best practices baked in: cross-browser normalization, performance optimizations, even optional features like cross-domain Ajax and Flash. A starter apache .htaccess config file hooks you the eff up with caching rules and preps your site to serve HTML5 video, use @font-face, and get your gzip zipple on.
Boilerplate is not a framework, nor does it prescribe any philosophy of development, it's just got some tricks to get your project off the ground quickly and right-footed.

Zelf, met de hand, een website maken is tegenwoordig zo lastig nog niet. Echter, een grote maatwerk website is heel andere koek. In het begin lijkt het wel simpel maar iedere beslissing heeft invloed op je volgende beslissing en één verkeerde beslissing kan heel snel tot frustratie leiden. Mocht je toevallig het (on)geluk hebben om meerdere grote websites te maken en te onderhouden, dan ben je, als je niet uitkijkt, al heel snel de sigaar.
Waarom? Niets blijft hetzelfde en het maken van een website is een oefening in constante verandering.
HTML wil je zo hebben dat je het achteraf niet hoeft aan te passen voor CSS of JavaScript. Dergelijke aanpassingen zijn duur, omdat je met nog meer onderhoud wordt opgezadeld, wat uiteindelijk ook de duurzaamheid van je product aantast. Erger nog, het is meestal onnodig en makkelijker te voorkomen dan je denkt.
De truc is om binnen de drie front-end gebieden (HTML, CSS en JavaScript) generiek te zijn waar deze gebieden elkaar raken en specifiek te zijn binnen een enkel gebied.

Code: Flickr Developer Blog » Lessons Learned while Building an iPhone Site
october 2008 by roel
A few weeks ago we released a version of the Flickr site tailored specifically for the iPhone. Developing this site was very different from any other project I’ve worked on; there seems to be a new set of frontend rules for developing high-end mobile sites. A lot of the current best practices get thrown out the window in the quest for minimum page weight and fastest load times over slow celluar connections.
