This week I have mostly been reading…

Ian | May 4, 2008

I was needing to brush up a style sheet and wanted a clean way to apply drop shadows, which I found here.

I often use the in-line lists for page navigation, but I hadn’t come across the use of floats described in this post here and here. However, while looking for a slick way of producing “rounded corners”, I found an implementation using sliding doors that happened to have the drop shadow I was after as part of the border image here, though I must admit to preferring the variation I found here.

And when I needed to print CSS background images, this post proved most helpful.

Along the way, I stumbled across the site Position Is Everything which looked like it might be worth making a note of.

Following the news of the Spring Source Application Platform I need to look back at this post on web applications and OSGi.

I also enjoyed this post on converting Java to Groovy.

Following a little foray down the path of UML modelling XML Schemas for a colleague, this article articulated what I was trying to get across much better than I could have. Rational Software Architect unfortunately couldn’t quite grasp it quite as easily. No change there then…
