From Angela Bradley, your About Programming Editor
Hello Programmers!
This week we are taking a look at replacing Cellpadding with CSS. Next we look at how to make a text adventure game using Ruby. We then go on to look at the adopt a JSR program, and finally we look at analog clocks in JavaScript.
Have a Great week!

Replacing Cellpadding with CSS
There is a CSS property that many people don't use because they don't understand it: border-spacing. This property works similarly to the cellspacing attribute but gives you more flexibility and features. For example, with border-spacing you can affect the space between rows and columns separately--giving your tables a more unique style.

Making a Text Adventure Game in Ruby Part 3
As far as Ruby is concerned, you're not playing a text adventure game. All you're doing is searching through a tree structure and moving the nodes around. Everything else is irrelevant. This is why finding and moving nodes is such an important piece of this game.

The Adopt a JSR Program
If you're a member of a Java User Group (JUG) you might be interested in getting them to look at the Adopt a JSR program. It's to encourage the Java community to get more involved with Java Specification Requests and for individuals to enhance their CV whilst learning something new.

Analog Clocks
Old JavaScript never die, they just get rewritten. In between writing new scripts and tutorials, I occasionally revisit old scripts and look into what needs to be done to update them. Some time after first writing them I revisited both my original analog clock script and also the more recently written multi-clock version to see what needed to be done to modernise them.
