Elsewhere monthlies for September 2009

Useful start. I'll probably have some minor notes to add, but it definitely gives a good overview of the current situation.

Very interesting discussion of the problems the unload event poses for browser vendors. Introduction of the pageshow and pagehide events.

How to import style sheets based on a media query. This will be very useful later on.

CSS, Mobile | Permalink

Useful tips I'm going to need later on.

Opera Mobile/Mini | Permalink

A discussion of Page Cache and its implementation in WebKit. Interesting read because it explains the headaches browser vendors have to deal with.

Personally I'd like to know more about iPhone Safari's handling (or rather, non-handling) of page cache or any kind of cache.

Browsers | Permalink

Well wel, AT&T gives decent information about the devices they sell. They even tell you which browser the device uses, and that's truly unique.

The only major flaw is that it does not have a search function. But otherwise it compares very well to other such lists I've seen.

Browserscope wraps up several automated browser tests (notably Steve Souders' UA Profiler) into one test suite.

It's evidently the next step in browser testing. Please do the tests and help out your fellow front-end engineers.

An overview of the mobile app market. If you want your app to be available on 60% of the mobile phones, you'll have to write six versions.

The solution to the problem is obvious: W3C Widgets.

Business, Mobile | Permalink
