    Introduced in the HTML 5 specification, the multiple attribute on file inputs (i.e. ) will allow for multiple files to be selected for upload. I had been using the WebKit nightlies and watching for this feature to be enabled in the default builds, but the Safari 4 beta is the first version of Safari that I've seen support this. The original commit to WebKit that added this support was 37863.

    Yesterday we released a new people selector widget (which we've been calling Bo Selecta internally). This widget downloads a list of all of your contacts, in JavaScript, in under 200ms (this is true even for members with 10,000+ contacts). In order to get this level of performance, we had to completely rethink how we send data from the server to the client.

    Have you ever dealt with a client who suddenly flipped on "design mode" mid-project? The expectation is that you are an expert, and you act as a filter between the client and a (successful) finished product. Web design is more than just coding a client's vision. You've spent the time honing skills. Now let's reclaim your artistic license while keeping professional.

  • They effectively communicate in an executable format how to use the software. They also prevent tendencies to over-build the system based on speculation. When all the tests pass, you know you're done!
  • Test-driven development is a lot more fun than writing tests after the code seems to be working
  • Do I have to write a test for everything? No, just test everything that could reasonably break.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • If something is difficult to test, it's usually an opportunity for a design improvement.
  • Frequent testing gives you confidence that your changes didn't break anything and generally lowers the stress of programming in the dark.
  • Run all your unit tests as often as possible, ideally every time the code is changed
  • For larger systems, you may just run specific test suites that are relevant to the code you're working on.
  • write a failing test that exposes the defect. When the test passes, you know the defect is fixed!
  • Don't forget to use this as a learning opportunity. Perhaps the defect could have been prevented by being more aggressive about testing everything that could reasonably break.
