This article is a good, basic primer on design theory. Though taught as part of a Graphic Design course, I’ve found it to be just as useful in web design, front end development in particular.

I spent a long time with sublime text, until I bit the bullet to try something new. Obviously with all the extra new features, and nicer way to handle customisations and so on, I wanted to share some add-ons (known as packages) I use to […]

It’s understandable, considering it was released before Chrome (firefox first released 2002 – compared to Chrome in 2008), and it was a much better alternative to Internet Explorer at the time.
