For those who think English is not important

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, convincingly, and comfortably. Also it helps to be tall, but you can’t do anything about that.

A simple markup standard for HTML5

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>

I asked myself this question many times cause right now there are so many open source CMSes out there, and choose the right one is not an easy task. (more…)

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

Today, some colleagues and me discussed some idea differences between China and U.S. . I am a regular Chinese, and have no abroad living experience, have never actually been to America. But I like English and Reading. Through this interesting discuss, I got to a thought that, maybe, the most problem on this planet is that people don’t understand each other because they knew so little about each other, especially their history.

Google’s customer service, what would Google do?

Superior products and services is the key for Google’s success. Jeff Jarvis even wrote a book about Google’s customer service, titled “What would Google do“. Google is the model for other companies who want to succeed in this information era. For me, since I read the John Battelle’s “The Search“, The “Do no evil” Google is my personal admiration.
