TTMMHTM: Alt attributes, social media tips, security and Germans vs. IE
Things that made me happy this morning:
- Esteemed colleague Ian Pouncey “has a nice little write-up on alt attributes”:http://ianpouncey.com/weblog/2010/01/alt-attributes/ – they are not alt tags, learn it!
- “Three things you need to know about social media strategy”:http://mashable.com/2010/01/14/social-media-strategy-needs/ has it down to a T.
- “Security in web applications”:http://6.470.scripts.mit.edu/lectures/security/html/all.html starts like a pretty obvious talk but has some very good examples in it.
- “Should you use JavaScript CDNs”:http://zoompf.com/blog/2010/01/should-you-use-javascript-library-cdns/ is a short review of it really being worth it – it is missing the amount of YUI delivered from yahooapis.com though.
- Apparently the German government is telling people to “stop using IE because of project Aurora”:http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/german_governments_warns_citizens_not_to_use_internet_explorer.php (“official message in German”:https://www.bsi.bund.de/cln_165/ContentBSI/presse/Pressemitteilungen/Sicherheitsluecke_IE_150110.html)
- Ever wondered what current movie titles would look like as Atari games covers?
- Afterdawn are discussing the value of digital copies of movies – well, there’s always free tools for conversion, too.

I’m not sure if using the Google CDN for jQuery is much of a benefit (single small file), however using the combine feature of yahooapis.com is a time saver for page load times. Especially if you are using a few components of YUI2.
