Agathon Group - "The Good Stuff"

Try Our delicious Links!

You probably didn’t know, mostly because we haven’t told you, but Agathon has a delicious account that we post to quite often. Since we are online all the time (and since we span 6 time zones, I mean that quite literally), we are always coming across pages, videos, or blogs that are very helpful in our work, and could probably be very helpful in yours. Here’s a sampling of our most recent links:

• Jquery and Animation Jumps - Very cool video detailing how to fix a common jquery animation issue, however, the most interesting thing about this video is the use of a few essential web development tools: jquery (obviously), Firebug, and Textmate. If you’re unfamiliar with these, the video does breeze through them pretty fast, but you can see how to use Textmate for quick edits, jquery for quick effects, and Firebug for quick debugging.

• Adactio: Journal—The Lessons of CSS Frameworks - Great writeup of Eric Meyer’s CSS Frameworks talk at An Event Apart in San Francisco.

• Build Better Pages With Firebug - Speaking of Firebug, this is a pretty solid overview of Firebug’s features, and why you should be using it for your web development.

• border-image in Firefox - A nice writeup of some upcoming CSS additions that are functional in both the latest Safari and Firefox. Creating pretty scalable buttons is going to get a whole lot easier.

• Modify User Permissions - We get permissions questions all the time, so though some of you may already know these well, it never hurts to go over the basics, with a nice overview of unix permissions.

• Terrifying Desktop Background - Okay I confess, this isn’t in our delicious links, but I found it amusing.

If you’d like to see our other links, you can check out our full list on our delicious page.

We’re braving the depths of the internet, so you don’t have to go as deep. :-)
