A Web Design and Development Blog

Web Development Lab

This page is home to the various experiments that I create from time to time, be they design or coding related.

Currently…

I’m currently playing around with using the Canvas element for drawing in Javascript. You can do quite a lot with Opera, Safari and Firefox, and provide fallback using IE’s VML. If you store a series of points as JSON data you can pass it around quite freely. Ideal for whiteboards.

Other web-related experiments:

Project Twitter

Another simple experiment is using Twitter and jQuery for simple project tracking. Not much more than a concept at the moment. More at the original Project Twitter post.

Recommend-atron

A simple experiment to show how simple building blocks and produce a useful application quickly. See the original Recommend-atron blog post for more informaton. It’s a tool for taking an RSS feed (generally a blog) and turning its popular tags into a book search.

More coming soon…
