Tame (or “TameJs”) is an extension to JavaScript, written in JavaScript, that makes event programming easier to write, read, and edit. Tame is very easy to use in Node and other V8 projects. And it can be dropped into projects where desired – no need to rewrite any existing code.
Note Tame is not an attempt to dumb down async programming. It’s just a cleaner way to write it. Further, your programs will likely have lower latency; with Tame it’s a lot easier to keep parallel calls parallel.
Firepicker adds a small color picker dialog when editing CSS rule in Firebug.
The addon scans for values that can be parsed as CSS colors (#abc, rgb(1,2,3), blue, red etc.) and displays them in a drop-down list right below the firebug’s CSS editor box. Clicking on the color value in the drop-down brings up a color picker dialog.
Chosen is a javascript plug-in makes long, unwieldy select boxes much more user-friendly. It is currently available in both jQuery and Prototype flavors.
Why use Chosen?
Instead of forcing your users to scroll through a giant list of items, they can just start typing the name of the item they were looking for. Non-matching entries are removed from view and choices can be selected using enter or mouse click.
Because chosen replaces normal html select fields, you don’t need to do anything special to make it work for browsers without javascript. You don’t need to do anything special on the back end to handle the data either — the form field still gets submitted as normal.
Add Chosen’s files to your app and then add the class chzn-select to your select box. Chosen automatically respects optgroups, selected state, the multiple attribute and browser tab order. You don’t need to do anything else except customize the style as you see fit.
dualSlider is a dual animated slider for highlighting videos, images and content in general.
The content can be static (hand-generated) or coming from out of a database, so it’s fairly easy to extract specific posts like featured articles, etc.
dualSlider has all the functions your typical slider has: autoslide; easing types; transition duration; etc.
Games are always fund to help us relaxing, passing time or even to exercise the mind with a strategy game. From time to time I like to stop reading on my iPad to get some action and relax a bit. Since we think that a lot of our readers may also be interested in that matter, we decided to gather a list with some nice and free iPad games. From strategy to letters, shooting to angry birds flying around, here are 15 free iPad games you should give a try. ;)
The Angry Birds that many of us are addicted to now have a “Rio” version. Here, the original Angry Birds were kidnapped and taken to Rio de Janeiro. The game will twist the original game with some elements of the Fox motion picture Rio.
The nice thing is that this version is free and you have already 6 levels to play. Until the end of the year we will have some more.
Play the famous words game with your friends or let your opponent be chosen randomly. For those who like crosswords, this can be a pretty cool game.
The interface is also nice and this version is free.
This one got my attention because it was the first recommendation on the App Store for free games for iPad, so I decided to try.
Never played this game before, so took me some time to figure it out. It’s a nice game, but nothing so interesting to be pointed as the first recommended game. ;)
Another one figuring on the top 5 suggestions of the App Store, under free games for iPad.
This is not my kind of game because it’s full of stories, achievements and also you have to buy guns, munition and stuff like that, so if you are addicted to games, hide your wallet before beginning to play.
Nice and addictive game with a beautiful interface, good option to pass time and exercise the brain.
This is a simple and colorful game that can get your attention for a long time. Break groups of same colors blocks and get your way around to avoid filling up the screen.
For those who love to ‘go back in time’ and have some fun with a famous old school game, this is a nice option.
Most reviews about this game are awesome, so it got my attention. For those who like football and flick games, this is a great option since it will entertain you for a long time.
Just use the power of your finger to smash fruits that appear on the screen… watch out for the bomb though.
Again, I’m not a big fun of this kind of game, but since the Big Time Gangsta is pretty popular, decided to showcase the game here. ;)
Yeah, the name says all. Toss papers away in several different places and with some stuff to disturb you from doing it.
Also another game with pretty good reviews and comments.
For those into poker this is a good and free option. ;)
A fun game with some really nice reviews, people seem to really like it.
Another popular game with good reviews. A lot of action going on here for those who like shooting games.
WPZOOM have published BonPress, a free WordPress theme based on Tumblr.com.
The theme has a number of useful features — 4 pre-made themes; tumblr-like post formats (video, text, link, etc.); and a mobile-friendly design.
In combination with a lightbox plugin for WordPress, you’ll surely be able to host your own “Tumblr” in WordPress.
