I disagree with you. You start ignoring the refresh flash and it is not distracting at all once you get used to it. Really the fancy page turn animation does not add any value to my reading experience. I would care less. What I care about is I can read my book outdoors in bright sunlight and go without charging for a month. And, my eyes don't get tired after long hours of reading.
Just so that it doesn't make any difference to you or your presentation doesn't mean that you should avoid it. It is a best practice to include them and semantically right thing to do. It gives a structure to your document and defines what your document is about.
I would really like to see the feature to convert any texts or pdfs into Kindle format. The converters I have tried so far are terrible with pdf books.
Same here. I hate that every click I make ends up at experts-exchange. I didn't even know you could find your answer by scrolling to the bottom until I read someone mention it on Hacker News.
I felt that the author kind of mixed up front-end engineer and graphic designer. Good front-end engineers(developers) are not necessarily good graphic designers and vice versa.
I am a computer science graduate and front-end developer with four years of industry experience and I started it around 10 years back as a hobby. I do some graphic designing too but my strong domains are html,css and javascript. All of them are self-learned as the author has mentioned.
Wherever I worked, I hated the fact that people kind of undermine the importance of front-end. They bring in some software engineers and make them work with me. Everyone thinks they know html and css and its pretty easy.
Since there are no way of measuring the quality of their code, I get really frustrated seeing people undermine my domain. Even with this much of experience I feel there is so much to learn and so much improvements can be made.
I appreciate the author for recognizing web development. I often stumble upon my 'programming' friends who think web development and especially front-end is boring and trivial. I have hard time explaining how important and how complex things can get.
It's something my fellow hard-core programmer friends will never understand. I love my job and what I do.
I am aware of the Ruby on Rails' scaffolding, CRUD, DRY and MVC stuff. Matter of fact, I am currently self-learning Ruby on Rails.
Yes, it would be nice to have some template to start with. I have used YUI CSS framework, Reset, etc. to start off applications. I guess that's relevant to templates you are talking about.
