How To Properly Test Responsive Design

October 29, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

Now that all the rage that responsive design has become a bit more common place in our day-to-day work, I think it’s worth sharing how to test for responsive design.

Specifically, this is how I think a lot of us has historically tested for responsive design:

It’s funny because it’s true, right?

The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate Unpublished

Preparing For The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate 2.6.0

October 28, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

The WordPress Plugin Boilerplate has been a bit of a pet project of mine a little over the past two years.

In that time, it’s grown from something that I was using to jumpstart my own plugin development efforts into a more mature boilerplate that provides a significant number of features specifically to help developers get started with best practices in developing WordPress plugins.

However, that maturity has happened not because I’m the one who has been constantly contributing to the project, but because it has received so many awesome pull requests and discussions from others.

And with my getting ready to release `2.6.0` of the Boilerplate, I’m looking for one final push!

jQuery Konami Code 1.2.0 Now Available

October 11, 2013 / Tom / 0 Comments

On March 14, 2011, I released the first version of the jQuery Konami Code as part of a project that I was finishing up. The project itself is no longer active; however, the jQuery Konami Code has been sitting in GitHub ever since.

Earlier this week, I merged the first pull request that the plugin has received (thanks to Stephen Hill!) which introduced a number of improvements.

Next, I spent some time cleaning up the demo code, cleaning up the actual project directory, and making a few other improvements with the help of JSLint.

Yesterday, I share a bit about a Tumblr that was recently started focusing specifically on Developer Practices.

In short, the blog is nothing more than a collection of animated GIFs that are a humorous attempt to look the developer best practices. But based on some feedback, others want to contribute.

And I love that.
