In the past month and a half of interning here I’ve made the role switch from Designer to Front End Developer. It’s been a really fun and rewarding process. I wanted to go over some of the new tools I’ve been learning about that have really changed my life for the better.

Here is a little knowledge nugget that Jack and I picked up during our time at An Event Apart: Seattle (more on that to come). We learned about this handy little site called caniuse.com that was created by Alexis Deveria. The site lets you look up HTML5, CSS, JS API, SVG, etc. elements to see what their support is across browsers. Then you can assess.. Can I use that?
We are freshly back from the conference and I have already started using and benefiting from it. Give it a look and find out what you can use. (Turns out you can use the first-child pseudo-element in IE8!)

When Robby asked me to migrate our app, heybrainstormr.com, over to AppFog, I was surprised. I am a Frontend Developer here at Planet Argon and am not used to doing things that include the words migrating, database or runtimes. He assured me that if I needed help, a developer would be within shouting distance to assist. Confident in the fact that backup was available, I headed into the fog.

Your website, just like your car, is often due for a bit of maintenance. Fortunately, tuning up your website is less intimidating than that familiar experience of standing next to your vehicle, nodding your head dumbly while handing your mechanic (who, by the way, is much more ruggedly handsome than you) a wad of cash. And that is even less daunting than attempting to work on the car yourself- you’ve tried that before, and you still have nightmares and stained pants.

In December, we made it easier to use Brainstormr anywhere, creating a responsive design for your brain clouds on-the-go. This summer, we got a little creative, and a few weeks ago, we snuck out an update that puts a little more pizazz into your brainstorms with Brainstormr Themes!

I recently interviewed Thomas Fuchs, Ruby on Rails core alumnus, software developer, and author of new e-book, ‘Retinafy Your Web Sites and Apps.’ It’s a concise collection of tips, recommendations, and code snippets for web developers interested in preparing their sites for retina phones, tablets, laptops, and desktops of the present and future.

With the functional prototype and the design work in the can, we got the opportunity to start work on the front-end implementation for Contiki’s mobile website . Since we had a good dose of working with the jQuery mobile framework from the prototype, we were able to dive right in and get to work.
