Released yesterday,
dabblet joins an array of live sandbox tools designed to prototype, test and share webcode that includes
JSFiddle and
CSSDesk, while
bringing some advantages of its own.
Other useful resources:
w3clove validates an entire site, rather than page-by-page;
JQuery Air teaches you how to use the framework directly in the browser;
domain.nr finds clever TLDs for your site, and
Sequel Pro is a nice, free, native, open source MySQL editor for OS X. If you’re more the old-school dead-tree type, there’s always
The Manual.

Over the past several years, Mozilla's
collection of developer documentation for its own web browsers has turned into a wiki-editable reference of web standards for developers working with
all browsers, hosting a comprehensive, no-nonsense reference of
HTML,
HTML5,
CSS,
JavaScript, the
DOM, and
more. If you find yourself turning to this reference frequently,
dochub provides instant access to Mozilla's documentation for any HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or DOM-related topic. If you're worried that a fancy new standard might not work in an older browser,
canIuse will tell you exactly how many browsers will support that new standard. Still want to use that shiny new standard?
Modernizr and
yepnope will let you detect missing features, and load
tiny bits of code to make old browsers support the latest HTML5 hotness.

JavaScript and
HTML5 Weekly, run by
MetaFilter's own wackybrit]

What the Heck is Shadow DOM? Browser developers realized that coding the appearance and behavior of HTML elements completely by hand is a) hard and b) silly. So they sort of cheated. They created a boundary between what you, the Web developer can reach and what’s considered implementation details, thus inaccessible to you. The browser however, can traipse across this boundary at will.

The State of the Web 2008 is a report from
Web Directions that includes details and analysis of all the responses to over 50 questions covering technologies, techniques, philosophies and practices that today’s web professionals employ. The survey was open for just under 3 weeks, from December 1st to 20th 2008. In total, over 1200 designers and developers from around the world responded to the survey. Respondents were likely to be self-educating, “early adopters” who keep abreast of developments in their field. Here are the
tabular results.
