Can Your Programming Language Do This? - Joel on Software
This essay explains how first-class functions—the ability to pass functions as arguments and create anonymous functions inline—enable powerful abstractions like map and reduce that can dramatically improve code reusability and scalability. The author traces how this capability allows optimization of common patterns (iterating through arrays, combining values) to happen once in well-written library code, then benefits all applications using those libraries, and demonstrates how this principle underlies Google's MapReduce algorithm that powers massive parallel computation across thousands of servers. Languages like JavaScript, Lisp, and modern functional programming environments support this naturally, while older languages like Java force awkward workarounds like functors, limiting the abstractions developers can discover.
jQuery Grid Plugin
Guriddo jqGrid JavaScript version 5.9.0 introduces critical security and performance improvements by removing all eval-based code execution to enable Content Security Policy compliance, completely rewriting the virtual scroll module to support variable row heights, and rewriting state management to eliminate unsafe function parsing while maintaining backward compatibility. The release also includes numerous bug fixes and accessibility enhancements across frozen columns, pivot grids, tree grids, and form editing, plus the addition of ARIA labels and improved screen reader support throughout the interface.

jquery date picker to show month year only - Stack Overflow
This code creates a month-and-year-only date picker by hiding the calendar grid with CSS and configuring jQuery UI's datepicker to display only the month and year dropdowns. When a user selects a month and year, the `onClose` handler sets the date to the first day of that month, preventing day-level selection while maintaining a standard date value in the input field.

When to Use the HTML5 “section” Element
The author clarifies the HTML5 `<section>` element's proper use by consulting the specification and establishing that it represents a thematic grouping of content but should not be used for syndicated material (which requires `<article>` instead) or for styling purposes (which require `<div>`). Through a series of practical do's and don'ts, the piece demonstrates that `<section>` has limited appropriate uses—primarily for non-syndicated, thematically-related content like chapters, tabbed sections, product descriptions, or employee bios—making it one of HTML5's more confusing and perhaps unnecessary semantic elements.

Cocoa with Love: Version control for solo Mac developers
This guide demonstrates how to set up and use Git for version control in Xcode projects on Mac, emphasizing that even solo developers benefit from version control's ability to track changes more precisely than Time Machine, review their own code, and easily test across multiple machines. The author recommends the GitX graphical interface over command-line Git, provides step-by-step setup instructions including creating a .gitignore file and initial repository commits, and explains practical workflows like cloning repositories to other computers and managing third-party code as submodules.
