Quote: So here’s my advice to those planning to build a website. Start with your message. Then write a story in words and surround that with whatever the lorem ipsum equivalent of graphics and images is. Once you’ve nailed your branding, messaging and story to the point where you know exactly the experience you want, only then do you commission expert designers and programmers to manifest your vision.
Total crap. Anyone who's ever written copy knows that you don't design around what you write, you write to fit the space your design affords.
And anyone who's ever written a website knows that getting the final copy to go into the space can be the last thing you get before you go live.
And anyone who's ever maintained a site knows there's no such thing as the final copy.
Tripe.

Quote: Before the age of Photoshop, designers would have to actually draw things so it made sense to put in filler text while the actual copy was being worked out. But today there is no need for that.
Of course not, because every page is made of static text that never changes so testing how it looks before content exists and making sure the layout is properly flexible is absurd!

Highly not true, IMHO.

I use whisky for that.

Prior to this stage, you hire monkeys and grave diggers.

Hmmm. That post wasn't worth a 1. Have a 5 to compensate.

A coming Microsoft promotion will provide Windows 8 Pro to buyers of Windows 7-based PCs for just $14.99, according to my sources. The promotion begins June 2. The price is right!

Surely it's $14.99 too much?

It looks like you only get the offer if you buy a new Win-7 PC within the promotion date range...
.. so its more like $1,015...

Lea Verou takes a look at some of the misconceptions of web standards, what the W3C and its working groups actually do and how the standardisation process works. Very few browser prefixes were damaged in the creation of this article.

*JS is a typed dialect of JavaScript that offers a C-like type system with manual memory management. It compiles to JavaScript and lets you write memory-efficient and GC pause-free code less painfully. Try it in the interactive tutorial... the code is compiled as you type.

As hackers, we’re familiar with the need to scale web servers, databases, and other software systems. An equally important challenge in a growing business is scaling your development team. I'll take your first round pick and a coder to be named later.

Hue is one of my latest hobby projects that didn’t die after a week. It’s a functional programming language, in a sense. There are no statements in this language, but everything is an expression. An expression does something funky and returns something—hopefully—even funkier. If you build it, then they will code... or else.

Whenever the point I'm trying to make lacks clarity, I often find myself trying to dress it up: fade in the points, slide in the chart, make prettier graphics. It is a great tell when you catch yourself doing it. Conversely, I have yet to see a presentation or a slide that could not have been made better by stripping the unnecessary visual dressing. Simple slides require hard work and a higher level of clarity and confidence from the presenter. This slide left intentionally blank.
