I’ve started a second Tumblr to record snippets of code and best practices philosophy regarding web frontend development. I’m hoping I can delve into high level analysis of CSS, Javascript, and HTML design patterns, maintainability, performance, and all around good ideas in the realm of frontend web development.
There’s plenty of sites that talk about design, usability, typography, page layout, and all that jazz. For every good one of the aforementioned, there’s ten “cookbook” sites that collect a bunch of simple ideas and present them without adequate context: any halfway-experienced web developer can tell you that sites don’t get built with cookbook examples alone.
I’m hoping that with everything I post, I’ll have the opportunity to eat my own dogfood, as they say. Some of my planned code contributions are pulled from projects I’m working on now, or have worked on in the recent past, and I’m hoping that my essays will be on what worked and didn’t in more distant past.
My first entry is on a simple CSS module pattern.
