"Today there are many talks about cloud computing. Supposedly it can give a new effective way to satisfy needs in hardware and software products and IT services. But what about IT personnel? Can the cloud model be expanded to... cloud staffing?"

Does we all live in the clouds?

According to Yahoo!'s Exceptional Performance Team, 40% to 60% of Yahoo!'s users have an empty cache experience and about 20% of all page views are done with an empty cache (see this article by Tenni Theurer on the YUIBlog for more information on browser cache usage). This fact outlines the importance of keeping web pages as lightweight as possible. Improving the engineering design of a page or a web application usually yields the biggest savings and that should always be a primary strategy. With the right design in place, there are many secondary strategies for improving performance such as minification of the code, HTTP compression, using CSS sprites, etc. In terms of code minification, the most widely used tools to minify JavaScript code are Douglas Crockford's JSMIN, the Dojo compressor and Dean Edwards' Packer. Each of these tools, however, has drawbacks. JSMIN, for example, does not yield optimal savings (due to its simple algorithm, it must leave many line feed characters in the code in order not to introduce any new bugs). The goal of JavaScript and CSS minification is always to preserve the operational qualities of the code while reducing its overall byte footprint (both in raw terms and after gzipping, as most JavaScript and CSS served from production web servers is gzipped as part of the HTTP protocol). The YUI Compressor is JavaScript minifier designed to be 100% safe and yield a higher compression ratio than most other tools. Tests on the YUI Library have shown savings of over 20% compared to JSMin (becoming 10% after HTTP compression). Starting with version 2.0, the YUI Compressor is also able to compress CSS files by using a port of Isaac Schlueter's regular-expression-based CSS minifier.

My view of GWT is changing. When I wrote 5 GWT Anti-Patterns I saw it as the framework controlling my entire application. Now it's my glue. GWT is a wonderful foundation holding together the different parts of your application. It can grow and expand to new technologies and uses we haven't thought of yet, but it can also hold us back. You can get stuck in GWT and never find your way out. Each of these four anti-patterns addresses different ways to write code you wish you hadn't. The solutions are all about opening doors instead of closing them.

not very useful. I prefer script.aculo.us + prototype

Whether you're working with adding the buttons to have your articles submitted to Digg.com (dugg) using basic XHTML and CSS or using dynamic Wordpress PHP code, this article will show you how to do it while keeping your XHTML valid under the strict doctype.

This example uses the json format and a callback function to easily embed the live status of your channel directly into your website.

Pure is a modern-style functional programming language based on term rewriting... Who pays for software anyways now?

All website analytical tools have their pros and cons, and many people use more than one to track their website's visitors and gather other important data. With that in mind, I've put together this list of some of the best. All of these web applications offer a free service; while some are completely free, others offer a premium account as well. There is an exception. I've included the Mint and Yahoo analytical software packages in this list due to their popularity, although they are not free.

These two online web-application RSS Tools are great, and I've personally been using them myself for almost a year now it seems. URLFan.com - Where does your RSS Feed rank? CopyGator.com - Who's using that content for their own Website/Feed? Also, there is the third, the RSS graphic tool which is good for anyone looking for a somewhat plain and simple RSS feed button with more specific coloring.
