A URI must represent an object, uniquely and permanently

One of the most fundamental philosophies behind a URI is that it represents a data object on the Internet. The URI must be unique so that it is a one-to-one match – one URI per one data object.

I am not much of an SEO guy but from what I have learned from others it is not good to have users going to a site with the www and without the www. You want them all to be 301 redirected to one or the other. My choice would be without the www.

When you type in the url of a website do you really type in the www part of the website, do you even need to? I think it is safe to assume that most non web related people do not know you can get to a website without the www or the http part of a url. Even Google Chrome is going to be dropping the http part of the url. Now that is in just the address bar of their browser but still, why make the user have to type more then they need to.

The www. should be dropped from the website URI, as it is unnecessary typing and violates the rules of being as human-friendly as possible and not including unnecessary information in the URI.

The explosion of JavaScript libraries and frameworks such as jQuery onto the front-end development scene has opened up the power of JavaScript to a far wider audience than ever before. It was born of the need — expressed by a crescendo of screaming by front-end developers who were fast running out of hair to pull out — to improve JavaScript’s somewhat primitive API, to make up for the lack of unified implementation across browsers and to make it more compact in its syntax.

All of which means that, unless you have some odd grudge against jQuery, those days are gone — you can actually get stuff done now. A script to find all links of a certain CSS class in a document and bind an event to them now requires one line of code, not 10. To power this, jQuery brings to the party its own API, featuring a host of functions, methods and syntactical peculiarities. Some are confused or appear similar to each other but actually differ in some way. This article clears up some of these confusions.

I have learned so much about WordPress 3.0 that I have started to created a framework for creating new themes easily.

The next couple tutorials I post will be about creating widgets, plugins, admin sections and other sweet things for WordPress.
