The Way It’s Supposed to Work

The history of science is crowded with stories about competitive researchers sprinting for new discoveries. First place gets patents, research money, and sometimes a Nobel. Second place gets a snarky note in the sidebar of junior-high science textbooks. While competition can foster innovation, scientific progress is retarded when researchers delay the publication of groundbreaking cancer research data in order to secure the most advantageous patents, or when research teams refuse to share information for fear of a licensing double-cross. ed hardy swim trunks
Happily, web development isn’t genome science. Your reputation may be solidified if you work out a zingy new CSS technique or write a persuasive article on standards-compliant bicycle sharpeners, but there’s not usually a lot of money or international acclaim available to the first person who gets that horizontal drop-over aligned correctly. ed hardy tops
This is good, because it means that we’re free to collaborate. The amount of information on new and exciting web stuff is far too huge for anyone to keep track of, particularly with thousands of design and development weblogs thrown into the old- school mix of message boards, e-lists, and the occasional online magazine. ed hardy t-shirts

One kind of success In one of our recent issues, we published an article that produced a design effect that we hadn’t seen on the web. The markup wasn’t ideal in anyone’s mind — certainly not the author’s — but we decided to run it anyway because it felt like a specialized instrument that many of our readers might like to have handy. ed hardy underwear loungewear
One of our readers left a comment about his own method of tackling the problem. With that helpful reader’s permission, the article’s original author developed a new technique that married the best points of both before pushing the technique further to see what he could do with it. This is a particularly clear-cut example of the kind of collaboration we strive for, but it’s not unusual. This is the way it’s supposed to work. A lot of the articles we publish are intended to persuade people — designers, developers, content people, clients — to do the right thing. Some of these articles, thanks to the generosity, skill, and insight of our authors, have inspired really positive changes in the way people make websites. This is also the way it’s supposed to work.

We also like to share experiments — articles that aren’t intended to persuade anyone to see the light and adopt CSS hacks. We publish them when we think they’re interesting and potentially useful to a sizable portion of our readership.
