Agile Release Management [docs.google.com]

This is an article I wrote on managing features and releases. Why read it? I think we've developed a few techniques that make life as a developer much easier.

We have four major releases each year at work, and last night's release was so easy I could been on vacation and it still could have happened. The whole tech team was not involved at all in the release.

Javascript - can't access pages from other domains? [www.webmasterworld.com]

I was wondering why I was having so much problems with Javascript across different domains...

The default security in javascript is even more restrictive than "same domain". It's known as the Same Origin policy. It says that a script can only read properties of windows and documents that were loaded:

1. from the same host
2. through the same port
3. by the same protocol
