I have been experimenting with code for the web since 1999, but after graduating in 2005, I pursued a career in web development. I came straight from university and landed the role of Web Developer at Creation — a design agency which, to my surprise and relief, already understood the merits of web standards and best practices. The first few months were tough as I was thrown in to the deep end, but I have now been at Creation for over two years and it is great fun. With a great design team I am able to produce beautifully visual yet functional and semantic websites. With an ever growing set of standard code principles (including microformats) I have been able to develop web site packages for a multitude of clients — further proof web standards is the best way to develop.

As the sole web developer, I undertake every aspect of the web development process (except for the design). I structure and implement the databases, write the server-side code (currently PHP). Front end code is controlled by semantic HTML which is styled with CSS and progressively enhanced with JavaScript (custom or jQuery). I also advise on best practices for usability and interface design when creating the design visuals. Because of this process we are quashing the belief that accessible websites are boring — our websites are accessible and beautiful.

Synergy

Thursday 24th April 2008

Synergy is an awesome little utility available for Windows, Mac OSX and Unix which allows you to easily share one set of mouse and keyboard across multiple computers.

I have been using Synergy for a couple of months now and I really do not know how I worked without it. Moving from Windows across to OSX is simple and quick. You can even copy text from one to the other.

An absolutely brilliant application. If you are using more than one machine on your desk at any time, you must install this application. Seriously, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it!
