ResponsiveSlides is a jQuery plugin for creating a responsive slider.
The slider works with IE6+, and keeps the css max-width property even in browsers that don’t natively support it.
It’s fully responsive and only requires jQuery (at least v1.4). Multiple instances are supported, and the markup is dead straight unordered lists. The only requirement is that you keep the images at a fixed size.
9lessons.info have published a simple and effective tutorial about creating a file upload progress bar using jQuery.
The JavaScript is concise, but the server, of course, requires a version of PHP — and in this case, not one lower than 5.4.
The programmer also uses PHP’s APC library; jQuery is used to monitor the state of the file every few seconds.
jsoup is a Java library for parsing HTML5 data.
It provides a convenient API for extracting and manipulating HTML5 data.
jsoup has a number of uses: parsing user comments; extract HTML data; beautify HTML output; etc.
It’s pertinent to note that jsoup can also parse invalid code, or, as the devs put it: “jsoup is designed to deal with all varieties of HTML found in the wild”.
GreenDroid is a library for making Android UI development easier.
GreenDroid’s main advantages over other similar Android libraries is its concise, powerful set of UI-management features.
The library supports Android 1.6. It might support Android 1.5, but it’s less likely to do so.
GreenDroid is an awe-inspiring solution for making consistent UI’s for Android devices.
pow.js is an impressive demonstration of use of the canvas element.
pow.js paints a sunburst pattern depending on the values you provide: the origin element of the ray (#foo in this case), the starting color and the end color, etc.
Besides using the generated images for a background, pow.js is useful as a code example of operating with the canvas element.
Micro Icon Set is a web-ready set of icons in the PSD format.
The icons are great for ‘general’ use. You’ll find that these can be applied to almost any website, and, as they’re in vector format, you can scale them ad infinitum.
The license is generous, albeit not too generous: using these icons requires a link back to the original post or site.
