This is a great tutorial from Wilson Miner on generating charts and graphs in a standards-based manner. It’s a great reference, and one worth bookmarking to use as a reference later.

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
Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Monday, December 17, 2007 @ 09:05 CST by Daniel Andrlik
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.
OAuth — Documentation
Bookmarked via Ma.gnolia on Friday, September 21, 2007 @ 21:15 CDT by Daniel Andrlik
First draft of the OAuth spec, which aims to provide a standard API for various services to interact with each other in a secure way. So, you wouldn’t be handing over you username and password every time you wanted an app to be able to access your address book, which also means you can limit it’s ability to use the external service it is connecting to. It’s a neat idea, and obviously in the early stages, but we will need this (or something like it) if we ever intend to get over the privacy and security hurdles on the path to portable social networks.
