I am busy writing a book and I'm using MS Office to write the book. However, doc files are binary files, and therefore a real pain to put into subversion with proper version control. So, is there an application of some sort or maybe some other suggestions (other than text files) that I can use to write a book in plain text format, but ca...
I want to test the JavaScript code in our web app. We are using the jQuery library and .Net MVC.

Are there any alternative approaches for testing J...

I understand the concept of keeping all presentational elements outside of the markup and putting them into an external .css file. I want to get a feel for what types of situations you'd justify use of the style attribute vs setting IDs and external Css. To this point, I've used the style attribute a lot, I usually use it to specify p...

It keeps me off the streets) I've noticed that text on the pages is often delimited by ` and '. See the blockquoted example below. Is there a good reason for this?...
