Its been a while but I’ve been getting acclimated to my new job. Its days instead of nights, and using my brain instead of well, not. So I delayed getting the news out, partially for being busy and involved. Besides being wonderful enough to give a shot to a new developer, they are a great fit and great company too! Earthwave Technologies I also own a mac for the first time. Bear with me while I keep reaching for the control key rather than the command. I got a little feature on the Bloc.io alumni page since I finally let people know over there too. Using lots of framework knowledge of Ruby on Rails and translating it to Python/Django. I’ll also be using plenty of javascript, which I’m still learning from their Front End...

Media queries provide a succinct way to accomplish this and the Chrome web inspector with its simulated device viewports is a great way to test, along with flipping around with the dimensions of your browser window – the more ‘fun’ method. As expected table-based layouts are more a thing of the past than ever, although I read that they are sometimes still used for email, since browser support of web standards can still be notoriously bad. Well I still remember the bad-ole-days, so if it comes down to it, yes I can write a table-laid-out html email. Yikes. On to more...

I’m starting my Bloc.io Frontend course and I just had my first mentor meeting yesterday. I’m excited, and since I’ve recently (re)started my personal website & blog, I’ve decided to document the experience a little bit. My goal is to write regularly, 1-2x a week maybe; and it doesn’t have to be a novel(!) – on the following possible subjects: my current Frontend course, my activities in the local Indy development community, or any random applicable/cool...
