Hello fellow Weekly Recappers! This time my list isn’t very long and that isn’t necessarily because there hasn’t been published much good stuff over the past week. I just didn’t get to read a lot. Nevertheless, I think what I gathered for you is pretty good. Enjoy!

• Printing The Web
  This article by Hans Christian Reinl is not the newest but it nicely summarizes what is possible with CSS regarding printed output. It was really helpful to me this week.

• The web is the platform (or, the perils of esoteric setups)
  Not about development, but a good article on the topic of the web as a platform.

• Sublime Package Control
  Sometimes it’s nice to just browse the popular and trending sections to find new and interesting Sublime Text Packages. My newest addition: SideBarEnhancements

• Task Runners and Builders: Just Because You Can Does That Mean You Should?
  Hilarious. With a hint of truth.

• Making remote teams work
  Mandy Brown explains how remote teams can work best and why they might be superior to on-site teams.

• The Practice App
  A simple web app that suggests HTML, CSS and Javascript tasks to do and practice your skills.

• Mobile Menu AB Tested: Hamburger Not the Best Choice?
  Turns out, a simple Hamburger menu icon might not be the best solution. But have a look for yourself.

Hello and welcome to another Weekly Recap. This week is a nice mix of CSS, Javascript and general topics. Let’s dive in:

• Responsive Javascript
  Most of us know a lot more about responsive CSS than about responsive Javascript. So go ahead and have a look at this one-pager that answers questions like „What is Responsive Javascript?“ and „What are the Browser APIs?“.

• Use zero-width spaces to stop annoying Twitter users
  Harry Roberts has a simple trick for you how to write @import or other @-statements in tweets without mentioning users.

• CSS animation-fill-mode
  I recently searched for exactly that: Being able to stop an animation at 100% and don’t have it going back to 0%. Works in IE10 and newer and all the cool kids on the block. I also created a CodePen.

• Adaptive Backgrounds
  Cool jQuery plugin that extracts dominant colors from images and applies them to their parent elements.

• Single Line Comments (//) in CSS
  I’m writing CSS on a daily basis for years now and I wasn’t aware of CSS not really supporting single line comments. Probably because it always worked for me because I either didn’t minify my CSS in the past or Sass is now doing some magic for me which allows me to use single line comments. Either way, necessary read.

• DevSwag
  Need some new webdev related stickers or T-Shirts? Here you go.

• 30 years of Macintosh
  On Friday, January 24th 2013, the Macintosh turned 30. This is the video and page Apple put together to celebrate. Well done.

• Sitespeed.io
  This is an awesome tool to analyze your sites performance and get helpful tips how to improve it. You need to handle it via the command line but it’s really worth to learn it.

Hello and welcome to the second Weekly Recap. I like the format and from what I’ve heard, you like it too. So here we go.

• Vertical align anything with just 3 lines of CSS
  What was a real pain the ass in the past is now pretty easy. Awesome tip by Sebastian Ekström, which I already used in production.

• How fast is fast enough?
  »It depends«, says Tim Kadlec.

• Mac OSX Screensaver Clock
  Not exactly a Web Development topic, but I just wanted to share this really awesome looking Mac OSX Screensaver Clock with you. It’s made by Robert Padbury, a former Designer at Apple.

• Web Performance Waterfalls from 10.000 feet
  Patrick Meenan shows common patterns of waterfall charts and explains what they mean and how to solve the problems. An article to bookmark for reference.

• Official port of Bootstrap to Sass
  If you want to use Bootstrap and are a Sass instead of a LESS user, this is for you.

• JavaScript: The Right Way
  Javascript is a very flexible language and you can do with it, but you can also do very bad and trash the performance of your website. This is a nice guide to bring you on the right track.

Hey guys! Instead of posting a lot of small link posts throughout the week at clutter up the feed, I thought it might be better to post one article at the end of the week that highlights the best articles, tools, thoughts, etc I found over the past week. So here we go. What do you think?

• Web Standards Killed the HTML Star
  Are HTML and CSS gurus no longer needed in todays web?

• Use your Mac vhosts with your iPhone and iPad
  Incredibly helpful for local development. Could be a little annoying if your Mac gets a new IP address often and another problem is that for me the normal internet connection isn’t working.

• iOctocat
  Pretty good GitHub iOS App with a nice iOS 7 design. It’s free but has two in app upgrade options for more functionality.

• Ten reasons we switched from an icon font to SVG
  Ian Feather explains the reasons and thoughts behind switching the Lonely Planet website from an icon font to svg images. Very interesting read.

• Combine Google Fonts
  A handy trick for saving http requests if you use several different Google web fonts.

• Smooth state animations with animation-play-state
  It’s still an experimental technology and needs some vendor prefixes and is generally subject to change, but being able to stop and start an animation with CSS is pretty cool.

• Finding real happiness in our jobs
  I think the title of this article by Christian Heilmann is a bit misleading, but nevertheless worth a read. It’s about the state of the web, what we’ve done with it and what we should do.

• Cascading HTML style sheets
  Almost 20 years ago — a proposal for CSS. A lot has happened since then. Without this proposal I’d perhaps be an Astronaut or a Rock Star.

• Best of CodePen 2013
  The guys around Chris Coyier put together a page highlighting the most popular CodePens of 2013.

• The Value of Content
  Andy Beaumont says we are fighting the second world pop-up war. He might be right.
