JavaScript + Web Standards II: The Quickening
summary
Argues for progressive enhancement with the concrete claim that core content must work without JavaScript, backed by examples where non-JS users outnumber some browser cohorts and a stakeholder who tests only on iPad. Shows tools and patterns used: HTML5 input types, CSS3 animations, jQuery and jQuery UI, ARIA live regions and roles. Demos include an accessible lightbox, an ARIA-powered tabbed “pumpkin pie” example, and an Asteroids game on HTML5 canvas whose source is shared; some sites degrade gracefully, others break.
