Alternative to CAPTCHA - Protect Web Forms from Spam with Javascript
What’s the ideal check to protect your web forms from spambots? No one really likes having to copy squiggly letters from a CAPTCHA image, but is there a better alternative? The ideal check would be one that most people don’t ever notice, but which effectively keeps out all spambots. In this tutorial, I describe a technique that uses Javascript to recognise human activity based on screen events, which works very well for us. In a discussion on Scratch Forums on the merits of CAPTCHA, one of our members suggested a possible alternative that detected JavaScript events (mouse events, keystrokes) to show that it’s a human completing the form. I took on the challenge of creating a simple JS-based alternative to CAPTCHA, which I’ll explain below.

CSS3 Animation Cheat Sheet - Justin Aguilar
How it works The CSS3 Animation Cheat Sheet is a set of preset, plug-and-play animations for your web projects. All you need to do is add the stylesheet to your website and apply the premade CSS classes to the elements you want animated. The CSS3 Animation Cheat Sheet uses CSS3 @keyframes and works on all the latest browsers (that's IE 10). Using CSS3 @keyframes, you don't have to worry about positioning the element to accomodate the animations - it will animate into place. Also for users with older browsers, the animated element will be visible and in place, even if the animation doesn't trigger.
