In honor of St. Patrick's Day, Azul 7 (my day job—check us out) has become Verde 7 to celebrate the occasion. Using jQuery and a whole lot of Irish luck, I helped create a parallax scrolling world full of charms and wishes that you can add to or share with your friends for this upcoming St. Patty's Day.

I am in the middle of writing another post for the Azul 7 Blog about some of the tech behind it and I'll be sure to update you all when it's live.

This is the first of a series of posts related to learning and understanding baseJS: the mobile javascript framework. These posts are intended for anyone familiar with JavaScript who wants to start learning about baseJS and how it can help them develop webapps for the iPhone. In this post, we'll look at Element Selectors and Event Listeners.

It’s no secret that everything you do on the Internet can be tracked, watched, and analyzed. The amount of information that we can gather is… well… creepy… to say the least. I wouldn’t worry too much though, as most people really don’t care who you are and are not recording that. Using the Google Analytics Event Tracking API, we can get nice statistics for everything from browser window size, to outbound links, to downloads, all the way to what people are copying off of your pages.

This past fall I was tasked with creating a few iPhone-specific web applications. After doing a lot of research, I found a few issues with the popular JavaScript libraries. The availability of -webkit-transform and -webkit-animation removed any need for an animation library. Second, since the Query Selectors API was available, the need for a complex javascript selectors engine was basically pointless¹. And last, every library that I came across, even after minifying, was far too large for the iPhone to cache (24KB limit).

As you may know, I recently gave MediaTemple a piece of my mind and made the jump to Slicehost. To say the least, I am still incredibly impressed with Slicehost’s services and performance.
