A technique, at its core, is a way to carry out a task and, being frontend developers and designers, we have a lot of tasks. That said, we often forget how much this landscape has changed. From 2002 to 2010 our community was rotten with code and resource bloat, hindering performance and maintainability. To overcome this, we created a slew of tips, tricks and hacks we dubbed ‘technique’. We were still accomplishing tasks, just not in the most efficient manner.
Doing a 360, the last few years have seen better standards and standards implementations spring to life, enabling us as a community to develop newer and more advanced ‘techniques’. This new landscape is what’s considered the ‘modern web’.
As ‘Web 2.0’ became stagnant and confusing, so too will the ‘modern web’. Give it time. That said, for now, we can use and abuse the term so long as there is a common understanding of what it represents.
In 2010 the HTML5 specification landed, providing a brand new, semi-standardised web environment. Browsers such as Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari embraced this new wave and pushed their dev teams to new limits of standards implementations and API exploration. To give you an idea of how ‘onboard’ these browsers are, check www.html5readiness.com’s visualisations of changing HTML5 support.

These days we have embeddable share and follower buttons for almost every aspect of the web, except of course for GitHub. I wanted to help remedy that, so over the weekend I created a customizable JavaScript button (that uses the GitHub API) for pulling in the watcher counts for links to any repositories you may have in a page. It gracefully degrades, comes in a few different flavours and is available to get now.
All that's needed to use the button is an a link to a specific repository (such as http://github.com/h5bp/html5-boilerplate). It doesn't need to be on your account, it can belong to anyone (which is particularly useful for groups and organizations that share repositories) and it's flexible, so it should work regardless of whether you have 8 watchers or 8,000.

The layout is often invisible but quite important part of your web application. It helps to make applications that know what to do with the available space. Each layout consists of panels. Panels hold the content - HTML or a widget, for example, a grid. They can be easily hidden, shown, resized, removed, refreshed.

Roole is a language that compiles to CSS.
It drew many inspirations from other CSS preprocessing languages like Sass, LESS and Stylus.
The most unique feature of Roole is that it has vendor prefixing built-in, so the language stays dead simple yet being able to prefix some extremely complex rules transparently.
Roole is implemented in JavaScript, so it can be run both on the server side (via node.js) or in a browser (run unit tests to check if Roole works in your browser).

First of all, let’s get the essential question answered: what is Modernizr?
Based on the official site, Modernizr is “A JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user’s browser.”
Although HTML5 and CSS3 are great but many of the new features they have, as we already know by now, are not much applicable in old browsers. Modernizr, helps to address this problem by testing the user’s browser on whether it supports a particular feature. If the feature is “unsupported”, then we can deliver an appropriate script or function to imitate the feature it lacks.

Forgot to check SEO for langing pages? Interns or beginners who might not know what tools to use? Freelancers that did not check SEO before they delivered their landing pages? Inpage SEO Checker will continously check basic SEO properties continously. As soon as you violate a SEO check, an red onpage error is shown - just like in unit testing. Inpage SEO Checker is easy to add to your page, just include one small Javascript file and you're ready to go.

Modular programming is used to break large applications into smaller blocks of manageable code. Module based coding eases the effort for maintenance and increases reusability. However, managing dependencies between modules is a major concern developers face throughout the application development process. RequireJS is one of the most popular frameworks around for managing dependencies between modules. This tutorial examines the need for modularized code, and shows how RequireJS can help.

With legacy browsers, we often see Conditionial statements wrapped around our HTML element, so the browser can use the HTML tag relevant to the browser. Conditionizr steps in to take this conditional approach one step further, detecting those IE versions, and adds the relevant class-name to the HTML tag. This means no more conditional statements on the HTML tag. Conditionizr automates the process.
