Jeremy Keith: Be Pure. Be Vigilant. Behave.

Be pure

• seperation - progressive enhancement
• content -> structure (html) -> presentation (css) -> behavior (javascript)
• english: get all the p elements lolcat: i can has p elements?
• CSS #foo p { } DOM document. getElementbyID("foo"). getElementsbyTagName ("p")
• think in english, then translate.
• keep things simple, avoid touching css markup.

Being vigilant

• Consistency. Resisting inline styles.
• Avoid the "#"!
• for subcategories/elements

Behave

• Ajax "Communicating with the server without refreshing the whole page." xmlhttprequest.
• "Hijax" applying progressive enhancement to html requests.
• Intercept "hijack" links. Pass the xmlhttprequest, which passes data to server and back to document.
• Server does the hard work.
• Challenge isn't in the code. Challenges are in design.
• Beyond the browser: What's happening (progress bar)? What happened? The back button. Bookmarking.
