This is one of the most sensible presentations I’ve heard in ages.

Process your inbox to zero. Mark things down as tasks. Do short

things immediately.

Lots of Scriptaculous sample pages. This is a JavaScript library

that we heavily use in our projects to achieve some awesome cross-

browser special effects, such as “accordions”, “crossfading”, and

“carousels”

Maven is one of those tools that takes a while to grasp and get

rocking with. But once you do, you actually feel sorry for the

“make” and “ant” users out there. Maven looks like a Formula One

racecar next to a 1950s VW Beetle.

JUnit has, as I showed in a recent presentation I gave at DOSUG, a great feature for testing inner classes that are sometimes very helpful and clarifying in unit test composition.

AJAX, implemented improperly, is a major source of current web app
vulnerabilities. I've even found some in the sites I use every week
for business with vendors.

A concept we've tried to share with clients with mixed success is
"minimalism". Too much content or too much activity on a web page
merely disturbs the user, and doesn't necessarily satisfy their
craving for information. The Apple iPod is the chief example of this
that everyone can relate to. They eventually did away with the
buttons, leaving just one central "jog wheel" to control a very
powerful device. Sales climbed. The device was lauded as a
breakthrough. This pattern can be applied to all kinds of web
interfaces as well, but the willingness of of clients to let us do
that is still not quite there.
