		<title>Mobile Web App 2: Picking a UI Framework&#8230; or Not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Now that I know roughly what I want to build in my app, it&#8217;s time to pick a UI framework.
Evaluating the libraries
I looked at 3 javascript frameworks that are geared toward mobile/touch development: YUI 3.2, Sencha Touch, and jQuery Mobile.
YUI 3.2
Pros: I use YUI 3 a lot at my day job, and in general I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mobile Web App 1: Wireframing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In my last post, I introduced the mobile app project that I&#8217;m going to undertake.  Today I took the first step and sketched out the UI of my app.  From this, I can get an idea of the number of different screens (don&#8217;t call them pages!) and how they connect, as well as [...]]]></description>

		<title>Building a mobile web app, start to finish</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given the way I keep falling into mobile work, I&#8217;m apparently destined to be a mobile web developer.  (If you know me, you know why this is funny &#8212; I hate talking on the phone, and avoid it at every opportunity.)  
Because of this, I&#8217;ve decided that I need more practice at creating [...]]]></description>

		<title>YUI3 Hiddenhancements: Y.cached</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, first things first.  I totally stole the word &#8220;hiddenhancements&#8221; from the yayquery guys.  If you&#8217;re not familiar with them, go and watch a show and then get back to me.
&#8230;
Back?  Okay.  (Enjoy having their theme song stuck in your head, btw.) 
So lately I&#8217;ve been doing a LOT of work [...]]]></description>

		<title>Fireflies &#8211; My #js1k Contest Entry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most javascript developers have probably heard of the js1k demo contest by now.  (You can check out all of the entries here.)
Here&#8217;s my entry, just under the wire at 1022 bytes.  (The right edge is a bit cut off, because of my blog&#8217;s layout &#8211; sorry.)  It was only possible with the [...]]]></description>

		<title>My Biggest Fear as a Developer&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is that 5 years from now, some other developer will be cursing my name for something that I did.  (They may not actually know my name, but they&#8217;ll be cursing what they imagine it is.)  
That something I built, or some decision that I made, went on to become set in stone and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Programming While Female: 13 Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This topic seems to get into the air about once a year, and I normally avoid it like the plague.  Most of the time it seems to result in pointless hand-wringing and, if anything, harms us tech women by calling us out.  But stubornella&#8217;s excellent blog post stirred up my thoughts, and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Boundaries of Accessibility</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sites and apps
During discussions about accessibility, I always wonder whether accessibility goals should be different for different types of web projects.  Are there cases where accessibility is less important?  And if so, what are the relevant differences that make it that way?  
 &#8220;The web should be accessible&#8221; is an easy blanket [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Browser Breakdown</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The growth of the mobile web and touch screens has created more browser diversity than ever before.  I think it&#8217;s useful to categorize browsers into four major categories, along the axes of screen size and input type.

Probably the most growth is going to come in the large-screen touch category (mainly because it&#8217;s starting from [...]]]></description>

		<title>3 Reasons to Care About Server-Side Javascript</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Why?
Server-side javascript has been a hot topic for awhile now, especially since node.js was announced.  But after reading about it here and there, a big part that I felt I was missing was the &#8220;why&#8221;.  
I mean, for those of us who really enjoy javascript (which I do), enough said.  Javascript on [...]]]></description>
