Lots of good development articles today. First, Living social shows us how to work with responsive tables in pure CSS. James Long complains about catching exceptions and promises in JavaScript. Frank McSherry talks about differential dataflow in Rust.

An excellent quote (paraphrased) from the opening keynote of the conference I am attending, “Software is not about the problems it solves but the relationships it supports.”

As always, enjoy today’s items, and please participate in the discussions on these sites.
