Full Frontal JavaScript Conference

Today the Full Frontal JavaScript conference site goes live: full-frontal.org. It's one day JavaScript conference hosted in Brighton, UK in the World's first purpose built cinema: The Duke of York's. I specifically wanted to provide a conference that was affordable, and not up in the reaches of £300-400, which is why the tickets are set initially at [...]

JS Bin for Collaborative JavaScript Debugging

The weekend before last I blitzed through an idea I had on the shelf for about 6 months and put it live under the name JS Bin.

A few hours of weekend playing later, I've got automatic Twitter keys (or optionally tab completed). But I've also decided to take it a [...]

Code Dumper

Code Dumper is a personal project of mine that I've used to practise some new skills on. It's a code dumping repository with a couple of features that I think makes it unique from the other code bins. Where possible, I'll blog about how particular aspects of the project so that they can be re-used [...]

Wiki to HTML using JavaScript

In building the jQuery API browser, since the source of the API comes from the wiki pages over at docs.jquery.com, I had to handle some wiki parsing and convert it to HTML. However, the more I browsed the API, the more I realised there were aspects of wiki parsing I had missed. So I built a (fairly) [...]
