[QUOTE=wakeboarderCWB;33379306]I've been learning XHTML and CSS the past week or so. I've had my share at programming(Java), and I can say that I like web development better. I understand programming is used in more advanced web development, but I will worry about that when I get there.
Here's something I've been working on to practice positioning.

Nice job!
If we are showing newbie stuff I might as well post my WIP too.

I have been working on a small website for my gmod community, its come out nice so far. Its also XHTML and CSS. This is my first real project with any web development (coming from a background of little to no programming knowledge), and so far I love it.

Oh forgot the [url=http://www.lazycrazygaming.net]link[/url].

added a few things, when you hover over tiles, they light up, the greeting at the top of the page changes randomly (refresh a few times), added a twitter and steam widget, as well as tiles that link to articles within the site
on a somewhat unrelated note: steam offers an XML version of player's profiles, which is what i'm using to fetch my username, avatar, online status etc.., but for some reason it hasn't updated in an hour to reflect any changes in my steam status. i changed my name, and even though my steam profile showed that my name had changed, the steam XML page didn't. any ideas why steam's XML would take so long to update?
[QUOTE=jaybuz;33378166]I'm really not keen on OSX's font anti aliasing. It looks a bit fat and a little bit blurry. I guess I'm just so used to Windows but I really do think it has a good blend of sharpness and AA.
Opinions?[/QUOTE]
Windows font rendering tries to align everything to the pixel grid, while OS X renders the font in a way that's much truer to the font.
Here's a picture showing the differences between the two font rendering strategies as you increase the font size:

Guess which is which.
Would anyone here be interested in working for a startup company in exchange for equity?
Can't reveal any details yet but thinking of setting aside 10% of the company to outside individuals who want to help us out. Based on your involvement, you get a bigger slice of that equity.
This would be for a startup company with capital investments behind it. Not some garage project (ok...a garage project, but with investors!)

That makes so much sense coming from Apple. Design comes before everything else.
Even though I complained about the blur, I guess it's a good middle ground rather than having messed up sizes.
I bet it's the fault of ClearType that Droid Sans looks like crap at 18px and good at 21px. 18px looks fine in Photoshop which has its own AA.

The windows method looks so much more readable at a smaller size. But when you get to larger sizes it looks ugly (As seen in web design by Chrome's horrible font rendering).
When PC screens finally start going above ~70-90dpi I imagine windows would switch over to a more true to the font rendering method.

Really, it's the fault of the font. Most other fonts seem to manage it fine

Python programmers. People who can cut HTML5 from PSD's really damn well.
Applying to TechStars and YCombinator as well. If we get in, we'd take on (read: fly out / pay) people as interns for a few months.

If you've got investors, why don't you pay for a professional designer / programmer? Your idea will get off the ground much faster and will be far more likely to succeed.

The weird mix of diverse font families, sizes and line heights makes up for a quite unpleasant effect.

Yeah i didnt mean to change that. It really looks screwed up
Rushed because end of class period

to try it out visit: [url]http://beztdesigns.com/i[/url] - It's still heavily under construction, for e.g. the login system doesn't work as of yet.
It stores the user's images libary for a few hours even when unregistered, however if they are registered it saves permanently.
Typo, "your" not "you're" selected file
no, i am obviously a selected file
^ fixed it, thanks.
That's neat but it could be even neater if you used an AJAX request to grab the uploaded images name's and then insert them into the page using JS.
I've done that before with a movie database, It's something I'll look into.
The word is going to spread. Phantom has the most awesome sidebar!
Just don't disable Javascript. :v:
[QUOTE=jaybuz;33396705]Just don't disable Javascript. :v:[/QUOTE]
I almost always keep javascript disabled to see if the developer was competent enough to account for it. Unsurprisingly, it's uncommon to find a page that doesn't break if it's been made in the last 3 years or so. People rely on javascript so much that some sites can't even load a small portion of the page without it. It's perfectly fine the way you're using it, but it goes a little too far when someone solely relies on it for user interactivity.
Implemented has_many relations in my orm-thing!
[img]http://i.imgur.com/Nloz6.png[/img]
The `order` and `foreign_key` options in that code are totally optional (by default `foreign_key` is the foreign table name of the relation with "_id" appended).
That single line of code is all you need to write to make my orm-thing create an automagic `children` property on all Comment objects, so you can write code like this:

Then you get something cool like nested comments with only a few lines of code:

Rewriting my framework as right now the router looks like ass and I've done most of the other stuff wrong as I just went ahead and made my own without looking at the existing ones.

I'd rather give you guys work! And it's hard to find a designer/programmer that is willing to cave in to your standards in the professional environment. Someone from here is much more likely to be willing to learn a new framework/design standard in order to help out.
On top of that, the work would be rather inconsistent to hire someone full-time at the moment. We still have a lot more of the business model and revenue stream to setup.

Hire me on a freelance basis ;)
Just a mini rant concerning what I worked on today.
Anyone working on eCommerce sites, do yourself a favour. Stay away from Magento.
I work with it on a daily basis, writing modules, doing theme work, setting up payment gateways all that bollocks. It is by far the slowest, buggiest piece of PHP software I have ever used, It is very very picky about the hardware it runs on. Support seems to consist of many questions with no answers and the whole design of the thing makes me want to puke.
It's like it was made by [i]Software developers[/i] not [i]PHP developers[/i], as in, everything is abstracted in a clusterfuck of inheritance at the expense of performance and stability without considering the limitations of PHP itself. They know this themselves and have tried to alleviate the performance issues it with features like a "Compiler" which consolidates the file structure and a "Flat catalog" system that flattens the hundreds of tables (EAV). Which is great... When it works.
Shame it's my job to work with it :/
So yeah, that's what I was working on, Tearing my hair out at silly errors all day.
