I just got to announce the Google AJAX Libraries API which exists to make Ajax applications that use popular frameworks such as Prototype, Script.aculo.us, jQuery, Dojo, and MooTools faster and easier for developers.

It s great to keep in touch with your friends and colleagues, but does the price have to be spam, zombie bites, and friend invitations from people you ve never heard of?

nice article on Google Docs ;)

RSS (Rich Site Summary, RDF Site Summary, or Really Simple Syndication) has been around since the mid-1990s. Over the years, several variants of the RSS format have popped up and several claims have been made about its ownership. Despite these differences, RSS never ceased to serve its usefulness in distributing Web content from one Web site to many others. The popularity of RSS gave way to the growth of a new class of Web software called the feed reader, also known as the feed aggregator. Although there are several commercially available feed aggregators, it's easy to develop your own feed aggregator, which you can integrate with your Web applications. You'll appreciate this article's fully functional PHP code snippets, demonstrating the use of PHP-based server-side functions to develop a customizable RSS feed aggregator. In addition, you'll reap instant benefits from using the fully functional RSS feed aggregator code, which you can download from this article.

The Javascript Bubbling Library (YUI-CMS) is a set of plugins, behaviors and widgets, for building event-driven web applications using the bubble-up technique. The Bubbling Library also includes several plugins that can be used to extend the Yahoo! User Interface (YUI) Library to manage dynamic areas which are closely related with the event-driven philosophy. All components in the Bubbling Library have been released as open source under a BSD license and are free for all uses.

Creating complex web applications demands organization and modularization. Modularization introduces a new problem - the comunication pipes between components. This is a serious challenge for developers, as more components and widgets mean more pipelines and more dependencies. In this article, we'll look at a technique to mitigate these issues: Creating an abstraction layer to moderate the comunication between the components and widgets in a web application. This technique is based on YUI and makes use of my Bubbling Library, which is a BSD-licensed superset of functionality that builds on top of the YUI foundation.

A social media newsroom is one place to send the media, prospective clients, book reviewers, or anyone who wants to know all about you, your business, or your book. This is a great explanation of SMNRs with examples.

Git is a decentralized version control system created by Linus Torvalds that is used by a number of open source projects, most notably perhaps the Linux kernel. GitHub is a new hosted Git repository service that's being called a "social network" for programmers and with good reason. It also already has some high profile projects of its own on board: Ruby on Rails, Capistrano, Merb, Prototype and Scriptaculous, among others. "[GitHub is] the way SourceForge should have been," gushed one beta tester.

We live in the era of Google Maps. What started off as an impressive refresh of Mapquest-style maps now fuels web mashups. With APIs official and unofficial, Google Maps is simple enough for front-end designers to embed and for back-end programmers to target. Along the way to becoming nearly ubiquitous, it has played a major role in the "democratization of mapping." For the practical developer who wants to add geospatial information to a site or application, the Google Maps API has been an easy call. But, perhaps no longer. As websites mature and the demand for geographic applications grow, the old mashup arrangement is starting to chafe. Mapping components are more and more vital, and so we demand greater control, expressiveness, and functionality from them. Fortunately, as in many aspects of internet technology, an ecology of open source online mapping tools has emerged alongside the market leader. It is now possible to replicate Google Maps' functionality With open source software and produce high-quality mapping applications tailored to our design goals. The question becomes, then, how?
