I’ve just pushed some major changes to my front end development guidelines to the public site. I spent a lot of time on this update, and it shows. I’ve added new content and improved old.

Knowing when to float, and when to position (CSS)
Generating unique IDs without timestamps (JS)

Cleaned up the overall design and interaction (Bootstrapped!)
Re-wrote some content here and there
Added pretty graphics to explanations
Added some resources to the list
Basically, we’ve gone from this:
