There was a nice article at Sitepoint about Test Driven Development. The author, Chris Corbyn, walks through the TDD process using PHP examples, and describes some of the benefits he has discovered in the TDD process.

Firefox 3 Memory Benchmarks and Comparison

With both Firefox 3 and Opera 9.5 being freshly released, here’s a nice memory performance comparison of those browsers, as well as the IE Beta version 1 and Flock. The memory tests are computed by a custom built .NET application, and provide a good look at how these browsers compare in memory management on the Windows operating system.

Sketching in Code: the Magic of Prototyping

The folks over at A List Apart offer us yet another excellent write-up. David Verba, Technology Advisor for Adaptive Path, takes a look at using prototypes in the web application development process, and what prototyping can offer that wireframes cannot.

Same DOM Errors, Different Browser Interpretations

Hallvord R. M. Steen of Opera offers a very interesting look at how the different browsers interpret the DOM, and what tools each of them provide for debugging. Some attention is also given to Opera’s new debugging tool, Dragonfly.

Eric Meyer has a great write-up about how diverse the rendering of line-height: normal is across browsers. Complete with a test page that allows you to see what happens to the value of line-height normal as different fonts and font-sizes are selected.

What’s Next in jQuery and JavaScript

John Resig of jQuery fame posted a nice 11 minute video where he talks about what is coming up for jQuery, Javascript, and some changes that are being made in browsers. Nice overview of what we have to look forward to on all counts.

Initial Impressions of Silverback

A nice review of Silverback, the new user testing development tool created by the geniuses over at Clearleft. Personally, I haven’t had a chance to play with it yet, as it is only available for Macs and I am still laboring away on a PC. From everything I’ve heard though, looks like a fantastic tool.

Content Inventory

Just a bit more Clearleft love here. Andy Budd continues his series of posts looking at design artifacts with a look at the value and importance of performing a content audit.

UserVoice

Finally, though I’m a bit late on mentioning it, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say something about the release of UserVoice, home grown here in Wisconsin. UserVoice allows you to provide a way for users of a site, application, anything really, to discuss and vote on changes and features. In addition to being useful right out of the box, there are some cool additions to the product being looked at like OpenId support and perhaps an API.
