Get going with jQuery!
If you would have asked me 6 month ago what I thought of Javascript, I would have told you I thought it was a precarious language which never worked for me – and that’s coming from a semi-programmer! To me the language was cumbersome and seemed like it was cobbled together in a very short time…

Do you do To do?
In today’s modern society, with the ever growing amount of information I find many people are turning to “To do” applications to keep track of all the little things they need to get done in their lives. I’m told they are a God-send; that they couldn’t live without them, or that they don’t know where…

Don’t vet Passwords!
I’ve designed loads of forms in my time, some for collecting random data, some for logging in, and some for user sign up. I usually employ form validation to make sure it’s a valid email, and a valid phone number etc, but I never check the password (unless it’s for length). I myself like to…

It seems only a short time ago that Google introduced their latest endeavour to the world in beta – Google Wave. I remember watching the keynote by the developers at Google IO and thinking that it looked pretty damn cool, but I am beginning to wonder if my first impressions were only such because of the technologies they used to create…

You have 100s of Gmail Addresses!
Never a day goes by when I don’t use Google’s fantastic emailing service. But did you know that you have access to many different addresses. If your email address is tom@gmail.com, you could give someone the address of tom+jane@gmail.com. Oh my gosh! I know, try to dissipate the hysterics, because although this seems like a waste of your…

Will you make it big?
It seems today that many people across the internet are infatuated with the idea of making it big – fair enough, surely that’s what we all want right? But what is worrying is that may of these people are operating under the mis-conception that doing so will be easy. They read the stories of some…

Twas a good year for Apple
We all know that Apple is a massive company, but at the begininning of the year many analysts were sceptical that Apple would be able to grow. However the ever defiant company has proved them all wrong and is finishing the year with an incredible market cap of $188,330,000,000! Second only to Google and Microsoft. And that is amazing. Apple has…

Have you ever heard of Robert Noyce?
Well have you? Be honest, have you ever heard of Robert Noyce? It seems odd today that such an influential person could be forgotten. Robert Noyce was one of the founders of Intel, a mentor to Steve Jobs, and overall, a realy nice guy.
