Modern Frontends
I've spoken at a lot of events this year, some small community events, some large multitrack conferences, some meetups. All the events have had one thing in common. Organisers who care.

Swipey image grids.
When someone says 'SVG animation', what do you picture? From conversations at my workshops I've noticed that most people think of illustrative animation.

My Typical Day
A little context Colin Devroe started a series of “My Typical Day” posts. My colleague (and friend) Jeremy Keith joined in, and I was tagged in by Sara Soueidan. I loved reading them, so here's mine.

Shoes at last!
I've been trying to get my own website up and running for a while now, but between a lack of spare time, endless design ideas and uncertainty about what tech to use I've ended up with nothing. (You know what they say about cobblers children.) But no longer will my children go un-shod. I've managed to…
