Don’t fear – we’re aiming to be an April Fool’s free zone. Let’s hope no-one tricked us! 😉

The Verge

Wijmo  Sponsored
Tour the history of this trusted DataGrid control. See how this grid evolved from Windows 95 to HTML5 and what it looked like along the way. FlexGrid is now part of Wijmo 5, a new generation of JavaScript controls.

W3C News
The first W3Cx course will focus on Web design fundamentals at an intermediate level and start on June 1.


Mozilla

Mozilla

SitePoint
A property that lets you inform the browser of what kinds of changes are likely to occur on an element so it can optimize for them ahead of time.
