” Hey guys. My name is Addy and I'm a passionate Web Designer. On my site you can find lots of useful tutorials on JavaScript and User Interface design.
I'm a passionate 24 year old Irish Web Designer & Developer and (currently) a Project Manager who loves creating exciting new user interfaces and writing about topics that can help other web designers out there at the moment. Although I've been approached by Facebook, Microsoft and Google over the years, I enjoy working in smaller companies. If you're interested in speaking to me about contract work, please leave me a note on the site and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
If you've come here (or any dev blog) hoping to learn a few tips and tricks, you're already well on your way to becoming a better developer.Expanding your knowledge through reading books, blogs and trial-and-error coding are some great steps to improving your knowledge. If you would like to read more on this topic, see my article called '10 Professional Tips For Designers and Developers' here.
Hi guys. Today I’m going to show you how to do persistent Client-side storage that’ll work in any Web Browser without needing to use Cookies, Browser-Specific hacks or HTML5 – in other words, we’re going to store as much custom information as a site needs on a user’s system without needing to worry about compatibility issues.
I’ve been looking at some of the cool new features being added to popular web browsers lately and I thought I’d talk about Web workers this week. Spawned from the Google Gears team’s WorkerPool Api [1], Web workers allow your web pages to run Javascript as a series background threads. Once you’ve created a worker you can communicate with them by simply posting messages to an event handler that’s been specified by the creating object. The real power behind Web workers is that you can perform certain tasks without interfering with the user interface at all – this means fewer pages "hanging" when you’re executing a ton of Ajax reqests through your UI as web worker threads are able to use XMLHttpRequest.
