Recently new version of ZenCoding named Emmet came out of beta: http://docs.emmet.io/ Emmet came out with support for many popular IDE's and editors. For me in SublimeText2 is only a matter of installing a Emmet package with PackageControl. If you know ZenCoding most of your workflow will be the same eg: ul#nav>li.item$*4>a{Item $} with Tab will create:         <ul id="nav">             <li class="item1"><a href="">Item 1</a></li>             <li class="item2"><a href="">Item 2</a></li>             <li class="item3"><a href="">Item 3</a></li>             <li class="item4"><a href="">Item 4</a></li>         </ul> New thing are abbreviations for CSS and Actions, fortunately there is cheat-sheet at docs page:  http://docs.emmet.io/cheat-shee

From some time I think about posting here summary of my tweets. As most nowadays most of the time I use twitter and google reader for RSS, posting and sharing. Sometimes I use Yammer to share stuff in company. Downfall of that is that I stopped writing on my blog. I want to change it, but simply copying data from my twitter isn't going to be interesting, so I came up with the idea to filter it to most interesting links (in my opinion). Good and comprehensive article about writing fast JS, GC in JS VMs, just look at it, should be worth your time:  http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2012/11/05/writing-fast-memory-efficient-javascript/ Myths on HTML5 by Mozilla:  https://hacks.mozilla.org/2012/11/html5-mythbusting/ From Geek to Presenter by Chris Heilmann:  http://christianheilmann.com/2012/11/02/from-geeks-to-presenters-a-talktraining-in-spotify-sweden/ Some ideas how to be better programmer:  http://www.wildbunny.co.uk/blog/2012/11/01/10-steps-to-becoming-a-better-pro
