Retina.js checks each image on the page to see if there is a high-resolution version of that image on your server when your users load a page. If a high-resolution variant exists, the script will swap in that image in-place.

What's strict mode? And more importantly, how does it work in CoffeeScript 1.3.x? If you like CoffeeScript, you're probably not exactly a JavaScript addict -- so you'll probably be interested in what strict mode is, and how CoffeeScript supports it.

There are quite a few interesting APIs evolving in the "modern web", but not all of them are going to be things you would use in most projects. That's okay -- part of the point of HTML5 is that the browser will handle more and more semi-specialized functionality in a standardized way. One such feature is getUserMedia. This is a JavaScript API that gives you access to (with permission) the user's web cam and microphone. Learn today how it works.

Not that CSS3 isn't already the hippest thing -- but check out this sweet DJ turntable in pure CSS3. Not very functional, perhaps, but the CSS grab-bags keyframes, animation, rotation transformations, and scale transformations, all in one pretty coherent image.

Earlier this month, the Cross-Origin Resource Sharing spec reached W3C Working Draft Last Call status. As you might expect (for both technical and security reasons), the spec is pretty elaborate. For a quicker treatment, try this this just-right-bite-sized intro, with demonstrative snippets.

If you are a developer then you are very familiar with variables and they are probably your best friends. A variable is by definition a temporary storage which contains some known or unknown quantity or information, a value. But, what does this have to do with the CSS we all know? The latest news is that the first working draft of CSS Variables just got released.

It’s official! We’re getting a new function syntax! The TC39 group (the panel charged with delivering ES 6) has reached consensus on an abbreviated syntax for JavaScript function expressions. It's popularly known as the fat arrow syntax, and is based on a similar construct found in CoffeeScript.

When you are using HTML 5.0 video on your website, you need to remember that your webserver is configured to send the correct MIME–type with your file. If you don’t the browsers won’t recognize it and the video won’t play. You will see an X appearing on your video, and the video will not start playing when you click on it.

For the past few days I've been working on a proof of concept PhoneGap application that demonstrates an example of database synchronization.

I'm working on a little demo mobile application for an upcoming project, and I wanted to add sliding transitions between pages. Pretty simple, right? You just use jQuery, jQuery Mobile, zepto, or one of a bunch of other frameworks, and they handle this for you. I didn't want to.

One of the more serious concerns about CoffeeScript is that it lacks a first-class debugging environment. The code that you see in a browser debugger is the compiled JavaScript, not the CoffeeScript source. Thanks to JavaScript Source Maps, however, this long-running issue will likely be solved in the very near future.

For the longest time I didn't mind all the oocss talk. When the term was first coined I quickly glanced over the basics and wrongly assumed it simply reiterated something I'd been doing for years. Lately the methodology has been gaining in popularity though (read Nicolas Gallagher's post for more information), which called for closer inspection of what was being suggested. Basically, I'm appalled by what I read and I hope I'm not the only one.
