Picturefill 2

This is important because:

  1. Picturefill was a great solution already, and this brings it into the future encouraging the use of the future proper syntax.
  2. You not only can use <picture> but <img srcset> too, which is a close cousin and useful when swapping sources with media queries alone would suck.

The decline of the mobile web

Chris Dixon:

Mobile is the future. What wins mobile, wins the Internet. Right now, apps are winning and the web is losing.

John Gruber:

We shouldn’t think of “the web” as only what renders in web browsers. We should think of the web as anything transmitted using HTTP and HTTPS. Apps and websites are peers, not competitors. They’re all just clients to the same services.

Perhaps it’s not HTTP and back end web that is in danger, but it’s the …

My Advice to Young Designers and Developers

Andy Budd:

Should they continue their studies or jump straight into the labour market? I usually tell them that ability trumps education and I don’t put much faith on the current raft of tech degrees. So I’d prefer to see three years of experience than three years of study.

That being said, I’ll also point out that University is about much more than just acquiring a skill. It’s a formative experience that will shape your attitudes for the rest of …
