Does this ring a bell with anyone? I am going nuts trying to track it

Ha! You think that is buried?? Man, up until a few months ago it was
hiding deep within the advanced search section.

Personally, I wish the new Google sidebar would stay open.

There is also a GreaseMonkey script that puts the date filter as a
dropdown right next to the Google search box.



@Thierry,

I just assumed that Tom wanted the most recent results.

I'm not discounting older results. It depends on what I am looking
for. In this case, I am looking for recent articles on PE so as to
have the latest info on what is now considered the norm. WHat experts
are doing now. Where PE has evolved to. For example, I already know
how to apply a PNG fix to IE6 to achieve more advanced front end
effects in IE 6 - keeping the same look across all browsers. What I'd
like to get at now is how people are delivering a base experience to
IE 6, and building on it for modern browsers. Hope I am explaining my
point right.

Thierry, I agree with you whole-heartedly.

Also, IMHO, Google buried that date feature. I had to dig for it. ;-)

Interesting. Because imho, there are *great* articles out there that have
been written years ago. 
A simple example that comes to mind is "onhavinglayout" from Ingo Chao
created on 2005 (last update 2008).
Jukka Korpela's articles also date from *years* ago as well as stuff from
Georg Sørtun, John Gallant & Holly Bergevin, Bruno Fassino, etc.
I'm not saying that everything old is a good read, I'm just saying that
ignoring results because they are old may not be the best way to go when it
comes to find the best answer/solution.

Hi Tom,

 

SitePoint has a good few articles on this topic, they're pretty recent too, in 
terms of not being so many years old. Have a look here:

 


http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/10/06/progressive-enhancement-1-html/
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/10/07/progressive-enhancement-2-css/
http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/10/08/progressive-enhancement-3-javascript/

http://www.sitepoint.com/blogs/2009/09/23/progressive-enhancement-graceful-degradation-choice/
 

Also, I'd be interested in seeing what findings you currently have, if you can 
send them to me, that would be great thanks. Hope that list helps too.

I hate it when Google returns hits from years ago... Thank god they
added that little sidebar where you can specify a date range.

Speaking of date range, I searched for "progressive enhancement"
within the last week, and found this:

"Designing with Progressive Enhancement - Building the Web that Works
for Everyone"


Not sure if that is helpful... Looks like a good book though.

Micky

Re: [WSG] Progressive Enhancement

2010-02-05 Thread Jason Grant
I wrote a piece on progressive enhancement vs. graceful degradation a little
while back.

http://www.flexewebs.com/semantix/progressive-enhancement/

Probably could
add some more concrete examples in there and make some more points, but it
might be useful for you.

Thanks,

Jason
