An obvious next step is to distil that logic in to a bookmarklet. I decided to combine the rev=canonical logic with my json-tinyurl web service (also on App Engine), which allows browsers to lookup or create TinyURLs using a cross-domain JSONP request. The resulting bookmarklet will display the site’s rev=canonical link if it exists, or create and display a TinyURL link otherwise: fjordaan Sun, 12 Apr 2009 19:16:36 GMT http://simonwillison.net/2007/Nov/2/opensocial/ So it’s out, and lots of people are talking about it, but I’m still trying to work out exactly what it is. There seem to be two parts to it: a standardised set of GData APIs for accessing lists of friends and their activities (like the Facebook news feed) and a bunch of JavaScript APIs for enabling developers to write hostable widgets and “container sites” to embed those widgets. fjordaan Mon, 26 Nov 2007 10:45:53 GMT http://simonwillison.net/2007/Aug/15/jquery/ jQuery is an exceptionally clever piece of engineering. It neatly encapsulates an extraordinary range of common functionality, and provides a clever plugin API for any functionality not included by default. It takes a core abstraction—that of a selection of DOM elements—and extracts as much mileage out of it as possible. Most importantly, it does so in a way that obeys best practices and plays well with other JavaScript code. fjordaan Thu, 13 Sep 2007 21:01:44 GMT http://simonwillison.net/2004/Nov/5/licensing/ fjordaan Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:30:20 GMT http://simonwillison.net/ fjordaan Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:30:20 GMT http://simonwillison.net/2003/Dec/2/entitiesDontWork/ fjordaan Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:30:20 GMT http://simonwillison.net/2005/Sep/26/maintainability/ fjordaan Sun, 04 Mar 2007 18:30:20 GMT http://www.sitepoint.com/article/simple-tricks-usable-forms fjordaan Sun, 25 Jan 2004 10:29:27 GMT
