Sometimes, I really think about starting a career in programming, and the only reason for this is my laziness. Just think about this – when I write stuff, I have to write it all by myself, and I only quote various sources from time to time. On the other hand, programmers have sooo many code generators at their disposal that sometimes, creating a fully featured application is more about messing with a code generator and then checking the resulting code, [...]

Since weekend is coming, I think that some CMS or shopping cart wouldn’t be a good idea. At least when I think about myself, I usually enjoy some light work during weekends, nothing special, as it happens with most of my friends. The web designers that I can call “friends” usually go in the woods during weekends, but when they don’t, they usually avoid work, that’s certain. If things are so boring for them and they end up facing some [...]

Those who claim that intelligence is sexy may be right, after all. Why? I never thought about programming/code to be sexy, and I wasn’t expecting to see a jQuery library with such a smart branding as Sexy.js. Now, they only need a theme song… and I can’t suggest anything else but ZZ Top’s Legs, since I think it goes perfectly with the home page of this product!

Sexy.js is a chainable library that allows you to easily manage script dependencies [...]

As I confessed some time ago, I am a lazy person, although sometimes I even surprise myself by being completely the opposite. Anyway, if I would be actively involved into Web development, I am sure that finding the right plugins and frameworks to work with would be one of my top priorities. Sure, the reason is that having ready-to-roll pieces of code around would allow me to get the job done faster… and continue to enjoy my laziness, of course! [...]

As far as most people know, Rialto is the most notorious bridge in Venice. If you missed seeing it so far, go ahead and do it, it’s surely an objective a serious tourist must see, but if you’re a programmer… there’s a different Rialto waiting for you, and it’s even much easier to reach!

In our case, Rialto comes from “Rich Internet Application Toolkit,” being a cross-browser, AJAX-based JavaScript widgets library that can be easily encapsulated in .NET, Python, PHP, [...]

Since I confessed my laziness already, today I will take one more step forward and tell you that I hate cleaning up. Don’t get me wrong – I love having everything in order, only that I can’t stand moving things around, wiping the dust, and so on. A direct consequence of this fact is that I only go through my stuff once in a while, because I am very good at keeping things shiny and in place, at least once [...]

Considering all the stuff we see around, the idea of a completely online OS gets closer and closer to reality, although I wouldn’t ever use such a thing and allow it to handle all my personal data as I do with the current OS I have (I use the good old Windows XP most of the time, by the way). These being said, it wasn’t such a big surprise to bump into JBEdit, but the surprise to find it was [...]
