Line,  bar, and pie charts are the bread and butter of dashboards and are the basic components of any data visualization toolkit. Sure, you can use SVG or a JavaScript chart library like Chart.js or a complex tool like D3 to create those charts, but what if you don't want to load yet another...

Use a:visited in your CSS stylesheet

How I think about solving problems


Nicholas C. Zakas: Eventually, I settled on a list of questions I would ask myself for each problem as it arose. I found that asking these questions, in order, helped me make the best decision possible: 1) Is this really a problem?2) Does the problem need to be solved?3) Does the problem need...
