A useful little tutorial from James Bennett on how to produce dynamic forms with Django. Some of these techniques I have been using on my own, but he provides examples that show a much more efficient way of doing it than I have in my own code.

Designers and developers: FIGHT! by James Bennett

Another well-written and insightful post from James Bennett on the ridiculous conflict that seems to spring up between designers and developers. Honestly, Bennett’s writing is so good, you should really just subscribe to him, NOW.
Minimal

I’m kinda digging the new design of James Bennet’s site with the minimal look. It almost makes me think I’m going in the wrong direction by trying to go bigger and more multimedia on my site. That being said, I tend to think these minimal extreme designs (while being more content focused) are actually more difficult for users to navigate without directions, so I’d probably need to find a sweet spot in the middle. However, Bennett’s minimal approach is wonderfully readable.

James Bennett makes a pretty convincing and practical argument against Microsoft’s proposed X-UA-Compatible as a means of triggering different rendering modes in Internet Explorer.
If you do any work on the web it is well worth a read.
The B-List: The future of web standards

This is a really great analysis from James Bennett on some of the questions that have been circulating lately regarding the future of web standards. He suggests that we might look to the open-source model for guidance on how to proceed. I share a lot of Bennett’s views on this matter, but as always he writes it far better than I ever could.
The B-List: Clarke’s Third Law

This is a great post from James Bennett on Clarke’s Third Law and how it relates to the pyramids, and how Django used to suffer from it before the Magic-Removal branch was merged into the trunk. Worth a read.
