ReactJS Introduction Workshop (Tucson)

On Saturday May 7, 2016 join Rincon Strategies—a Tucson, Arizona based web development shop and Tucson ReactJS organizers—for an in-depth workshop to learn how to build web applications with the popular JavaScript library React. (React is the main library running the new, open-source WordPress.com.)

Details and signup on Eventbrite. Hope to see you there.

Building Themes With the WP REST API

Building themes with the WP REST API — must-watch recap (with video) of Jack Lenox’s presentation at WordCamp London.

Shorten Bookmarklet and wp.me URLs

I updated the original Shorten bookmarklet to work with wp.me URLs.

Gist: https://gist.github.com/638071

My version works with wp.me URLs by adding in support for the case where the rel attribute value is “shortlink.”

Bookmarklet: Shorten (drag to your browser toolbar).

May 2010 Events

I’ll be presenting at two Tucson Digital Arts Community events in May 2010.

I’m particularly excited about the “Introduction to HTML5” talk since it’s my first time co-presenting with long-time friend and former coworker Aaron Wagner. I will cover new features in HTML5 and CSS3 while Aaron will talk about the new JavaScript APIs and browser extensions. Plus, he’ll give us a demo of an HTML5 application called “Times Up” that he built for his church. Can’t wait!
