Posts tagged “books & articles” 

From losing 7 years of your digital life to squeezing the entire world into Texas, we found some amazing links last week. Enjoy.

I find a lot of cool links throughout the week and I usually bookmark them on some service, like Pinboard, but for some reason I never considered posting them to the blog. I’m recitfying that as of today.

While building a Flash game, I wrote some code to alternate through squares on a grid system and it seemed rather slow. My code made use of the % (modulo) operator and, thinking that was the cause, I went in search of a better solution.

Apparently I missed the release of Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition. It hit bookshelves February 23rd.
