For those who think English is not important

2012-01-28  11:41 PM

Even on the small scale, when you look at any programming organization, the programmers with the most power and influence are the ones who can write and speak in English clearly, convinc-ingly, and comfortably. Also it helps to be tall, but you can’t do anything about that.

A simple markup standard for HTML5

2011-06-05  12:45 PM

Here is a simple HTML5 coding standard:

  • Always add a lang attribute on html element, e.g.: <html lang=”en-US”>
  • No self close empty tags anymore, e.g.: wirte <br> instead of <br />
  • No style attribute for rel links for css or in the <script> tags, e.g.:
    Just <link media=”all” href=”_css/style.css” rel=”stylesheet”>
    or <script src=”_js/calendar.js”></script>
  • Make all tags in lowercase
  • Use double quotes for attribute value
  • Jusrt write the attribute indicate instead of the value and the attribute for boolean attributes, e.g.:
    <section hidden>xxx</section> instead of <section hidden=”hidden”>xxx</section>

What do you think? :)

I think we should trying to get to know more each other’s history.
