Post by Kyle Weems on CSSquirrel “Cuddling with Cufon”
By “great alternative”, I mean that it “lights sIFR on fire, kicks it into an open sewer, and laughs maniacally as sIFR rolls around in stinky, burning pain.”
Yes, it’s that much better. And if you don’t agree, I’ll punch you.
Our final take on sIFR vs. Cufon = Cufon wins!

Jason Beaird: Use all the easily available resources on the web to help you learn, like:

Jay Barry: Don’t get complacent, always strive to learn new things and push yourself.
Ken Seals: “View Source” if you find there’s something you think is cool or you like, view source on it and try to reverse engineer it to an extent to get some inspiration.
