http://www.weedygarden.net/2014/12/2014-web-development-highlights
2014 Web Development Highlights. Dec 31, 2014. This was quite a year for web development. It seemed like every week there was a new framework or tool appearing on the scene. Below are what I consider the highs and lows of web development in 2014. Increased industry focus on web performance. SVG has become a popular way. To display resolution independent graphics. Began appearing in major browsers. Grid systems such as Bootstrap. The Higher Ed RWD directory. Is on the rise. Posted by Erik Runyon.

New Media 2.0. How new media and culture have come together in the 2.0 Era. April 30, 2013. Metal Roller Skates. Image source: http:/ www.etsy.com/listing/41701599/jet-set-vintage-metal-roller-skates. My mom explained I was too young for that and besides, I didn’t know how to roller skate ans she did; maybe in the next year or so, if I was good, Santa may bring me a pair of those too. In a year or so? Could it be now? Could I borrow my sisters’ in the time being? NO, NO, and NO! As days went by, I realiz...

Terrible Trends | Erik Runyon
http://www.weedygarden.net/2014/05/terrible-trends
May 2, 2014. Web design goes through trends. Web development goes through trends. It happens. We find something that works, or we see something we like, and it gets copied and propragated around the web. I’ve lamented some practices such as scroll-jacking. And commented about how ineffective carousels can be. This technique typically involves an overlay that covers the content I actually want to view. It’s usually a box asking me to subscribe to our newsletter , or connect with us on social media , o...

Dynamically Populating Wufoo Form Fields Using Javascript | Erik Runyon
http://www.weedygarden.net/2015/03/dynamically-populating-wufoo-form-fields-using-javascript
Dynamically Populating Wufoo Form Fields Using Javascript. Mar 16, 2015. Wufoo is a great form service. Not only is the build interface quick and easy to understand, it works well for statically hosted sites such as this. However, unlike the traditional embedded forms we all know, it’s not readibly obvious how to dynamically modify field data such as a username, or some info about the visitors environment. Luckily they provide a couple of different ways to do this. Use-case One: Browser Information.

Using GitHub Education to Teach Web Development. Jul 26, 2015. This past Spring I once again taught an Into to Web Development class. At the University of Notre Dame. While the class structure didn’t change too much other than updating for the various changes in web development that occured over the past 1.5 years, the way I had students turn in assignments changed quite a bit. By Jennifer Niederst Robbins. GitHub app for Mac. GitHub’s Atom text editor. For the course. The second is a private reposit...

HighEdWeb 2014 | Erik Runyon
http://www.weedygarden.net/2014/10/highedweb-2014
Oct 21, 2014. My presentation for HighEdWeb 2014. In Portland was about how to use offline web technologies. The focus was primarily on Web Storage. But also touched on Web SQL. It’s worth mentioning that there was a period during the conference when wifi was completely down. During that time, attendees were still able to use the website and view their schedules. I won’t claim that the offline capabilities worked without a hitch, but overall I would call it a success. Working with quota on mobile browsers.
