Everything You Know About CSS Is Wrong

This CSS, Web Development, Web Standards article was written on October 23rd, 2008

Rachel Andrew’s latest book - co-authored with Kevin Yank - is now available on Sitepoint, and should be available on Amazon later this month (and in all good bookstores).

This book is somewhat different to Rachel’s recent work, as it is a book about techniques that are only just becoming possible with the release of Internet Explorer 8. Specifically, display: table and how it can be used to create CSS layouts. Display: table gives us a reliable way to create grid style layouts, without needing to use “faux columns” to mimic this effect visually.

Summer project

This edgeofmyseat.com article was written on July 15th, 2008

This summer we have Ed Kelly from Exeter University working at edgeofmyseat.com. Ed is studying Computer Science and will be working with us for 8 weeks as part of the Shell Step Programme. The programme aims to get students working in business on a real project during their summer break.

The project we are working on is going to remain under wraps for a little while yet, but I can say that it is something we have wanted to use in our business for some time now, and we have a hunch it might be useful to other businesses too. You can keep up to date with what we are up to on the project’s own blog - Project Dog Food.
