Professional Web Development through Firefox Extensions

Tuesday, April 4th, 2006

LifeHacker recently posted an article about how to install several Firefox extensions at once. Then, they posted some of their own homemade extension packs. While their web development one is ok, a serious web developer has many more tools available in the form on extensions. So, with that in mind, I’ve decided to post my pack of extensions that I use on a daily basis as a professional web developer.

This requires that you you have the Mass Installer extension installed first - then, simply provide that extension with this URL:

http://www.zymur.com/resources/webdevpack.txt

I’ll try my best to stay up to date on the URL’s as things get updated as well - hopefully, the existing URL’s won’t break and you’ll be able to at least do the install and then let Firefox check for any updates.

I’m posting this before even testing myself, so install at your own risk…

If you are brave enough to try it, let me know in the comments below if you find this useful!

First Annual CSS Naked Day: April 5th

Saturday, April 1st, 2006

Yahoo’s Dustin Diaz is proposing the First Annual Naked Day - a day for those who are brave enough to remove the CSS from their websites and allow the site to be ‘naked’ for the day.

Basically, it’s just a way to bring attention to semantics on the web, and prove to others that your site would still be usable without it’s formatting. It’s also a reminder for those of you who are preparing for the May 1st CSS Reboot as well.

Bring it on! Go nude!
