Most designers and web developers only scratch the surface of the potent language that is CSS. In terms of programming languages, CSS has a fairly simple learning curve. That doesn’t mean that CSS isn’t a powerful language. Sometimes it’s the small things that make a huge difference in a website design.
In this post we’re going to outline 10 awesome CSS techniques for web developers who know their stuff.

Android is a software stack for mobile devices that includes an operating system, middleware and key applications. This beta version of the Android SDK provides the tools and APIs necessary to begin developing applications on the Android platform using the Java programming language.
The Open Handset Alliance, a group of more than 30 technology and mobile companies, is developing Android: the first complete, open, and free mobile platform. To help developers get started developing new applications, we’re offering the Android Software Development Kit.

Alice is a free and open source object-oriented educational programming language with an associated development environment (IDE). It is developed over Java. Alice uses a drag and drop environment to create computer animations using 3D models. The software is developed by researchers at Carnegie Mellon, including Randy Pausch. Alice was developed to address three core problems in educational programming:
1. Most programming languages are designed to be usable for “production code” thus introducing additional complexity. Alice is designed solely to teach programming.
2. Alice is conjoined with its IDE. There is no syntax to remember. However, it supports the full object-oriented, event driven model of programming.
3. Alice is designed to appeal to specific subpopulations not normally exposed to computer programming, such as middle school students, by encouraging storytelling through a simple drag-and-drop interface.
