blog post posted 7 a.m., Monday 20 August, 2007. The phrase 'simplifying the user experience' (or it's cousins) is thrown around regularly these days, without many examples on HOW to actually make life easier for the end user. In my opinion it's about removing needless junk wherever possible, letting the user focus on what's actually important. A simple example I've extracted from a current project is minimising needless page loads. Read on to find out how I validate availability of a username during the Django registration process.

http://ajaxload.info/Lightbox JS v2.0
link posted 5:47 a.m., Wednesday 26 July, 2006. Lightbox JS v2.0 is a simple, unobtrusive script used to overlay images on the current page. It's a snap to setup and works on all modern browsers. It's what I use for my image gallery.

link posted 5:32 a.m., Wednesday 26 July, 2006. Prototype.js is a very useful javascript library for doing "Web 2.0" stuff such as AJAX requests and minor DOM manipulation. It just makes life easier by removing some of the redundant stuff that Web 2.0 projects always seem to involve. However, it's documentation sucks. This webpage, by Sergio Pereira, is a fantastic resource for anybody using prototype.js.

link posted 4:16 a.m., Friday 7 July, 2006. Joseph Scott has a number of very useful articles on using prototype.js to allow users to edit data inline. Very useful for allowing data edits without requiring page reloads.

link posted 12:59 a.m., Tuesday 27 June, 2006. RoundCube is an AJAX webmail client built on a PHP back-end - it aims to be (and succeeds in being) a desktop application in a web browser - you double-click to open messages, drag and drop messages into folders, use inline spell checking, and more. It's very fast, and very cool. I use it as the "not at home" way of accessing my e-mail (at home I use Thunderbird).
