.htaccess Files for the Rest of Us | Nettuts+
.htaccess files are plain text configuration files used to customize Apache web server behavior at the directory level, and this guide covers their practical applications including URL rewriting and redirects for SEO purposes, custom error pages, password protection, IP blocking, browser rendering control, caching optimization, and content compression. The article explains that .htaccess files are read on every server request so changes take immediate effect without server restart, making them useful when direct access to the main configuration file isn't available, though they do incur a minor performance cost. Each use case is illustrated with code examples showing how to implement common tasks like converting query strings into friendly URLs, serving custom 404 pages, and setting far-future expiration headers to improve site load times.

Handling CSS Transitions with prepareTransition - Snook.ca
The author presents a jQuery plugin called prepareTransition that solves the problem of transitioning elements that need to use display:none or visibility:hidden—properties that aren't animatable in CSS. The plugin applies a temporary is-transitioning class with display:block !important to keep the element visible during the opacity fade, then removes the class via the transitionEnd event, allowing display:none to take effect after the animation completes. This approach maintains backward compatibility with browsers that don't support CSS transitions while enabling smooth animations in those that do.
Perfection kills » Profiling CSS for fun and profit. Optimization notes.
This article documents CSS performance profiling experiments on a feature-rich single-page application, identifying which styles and selectors most impact rendering speed. The author discovers that border-radius, transforms, and universal selectors like "button > *" are surprisingly expensive; unused CSS rules account for 200-300ms of wasted selector matching; and removing IE-targeted selectors from the main stylesheet yields significant gains. The piece includes specific measurements (e.g., adding decorative styles increased repaint time 30x on 400 buttons) and provides practical techniques like using browser profilers and parsing timeline data to identify optimization opportunities.
Backbone patterns
This guide documents best practices for building Backbone.js applications, covering patterns for models, views, and general architecture alongside conventions for naming, namespacing, and module organization. It identifies common anti-patterns to avoid, such as overusing document.ready and placing event handlers outside of views, while recommending approaches like using JST templates, sub-views, and mixins for cleaner code structure.

I cannot summarize this document as requested. The text provided appears to be a webpage about CSS gradient patterns—specifically the interface and guidelines for a pattern gallery—rather than a saved article with a substantive argument or report. It contains only technical specifications, browser compatibility notes, and submission criteria, with no central thesis or informational content to summarize.
How to Create an Awesome Scrolling Navigation using jQuery - thebeebs - Site Home - MSDN Blogs
This tutorial explains how to recreate Flipboard's distinctive parallax scrolling navigation effect, where the logo and background elements move at different speeds than the main content to create depth and visual interest. The implementation uses jQuery to dynamically size content items to fill the browser window, position them horizontally off-screen, and animate them into view while separately animating the logo and background triangle at different rates to produce the parallax effect. The guide walks through each JavaScript function needed to handle responsive resizing, content scrolling via navigation links, and boundary checking to prevent scrolling past the available items.
24 ways: Displaying Icons with Fonts and Data- Attributes
Icon fonts offer a scalable, resolution-independent alternative to bitmap images for web icons, with excellent browser support dating back to Internet Explorer 4 and file sizes as small as 12KB. The approach allows easy CSS customization of color and effects, and can be implemented cleanly using either CSS-generated content or HTML5 data attributes combined with pseudo-selectors to keep markup minimal and semantic. However, icon fonts are limited to monochrome or gradient fills, require accompanying text for accessibility, and demand manual font creation for best results, making them most suitable for familiar, simple icons that don't require multi-color designs.

Auto-Save User's Input In Your Forms With HTML5 and Sisyphus.js - Smashing Coding
Sisyphus.js is a jQuery library that automatically saves form data to the browser's local storage, protecting users from losing their work due to crashes, accidental tab closure, or connection loss. The script works like Gmail's auto-save feature, restoring form data when users reload the page, and includes customizable options for save intervals and callback functions. It requires no server-side implementation and solves the problem more practically than browser extensions, which most users don't install.
