Boris Smus compares and breaks down Backbone and Ember Javascript frameworks
In practice, it’s very difficult to remain productive if you’re writing both an app and a framework at the same time. Unfortunately this was my tendency when using Backbone. I hate reinventing the wheel. Especially if it’s kind of lopsided.
I spent the majority of 2010 working with SproutCore. On reflection of the experience, the problem Boris describes was evident. The project presented itself as an application development platform, but with constant shifts in architecture and virtually no useful documentation, I found myself focusing on the tools rather than the product I was building. As an application developer, there is a constant battle over my time when it comes to developing frameworks and actually shipping consumer applications. While I would like to mature my tools to ensure development productivity, I can’t help but see the ultimate value in shipping. I completely agree with Boris—unless you’re John Carmack, tools that hone focus onto what is important is key.16 Feb 2012 -

Paul Irish Recommends box-sizing: border-box on all elements
A pretty bold statement I am glad to see coming from an authoritative voice in the frontend development community.

Uicons are those icon glyphs you’ve wish you had for your app or design. The best part is the rasterized set you can download for free! Vectors are $25.

Leave isolated Amazon natives alone, Peru says
rawstory.comBy Agence France-Presse
Wednesday, February 1, 2012 0:44 ESTPeruvian officials on Tuesday urged outsiders to stay away from isolated Amazon basin rainforest natives after pictures of “uncontacted” tribe members were publishe…
I had no idea there were tribes still incredibly isolated and protected by their country’s governments. You don’t hear this happening when it comes to an unexposed wildlife species.
