  • CSS for React Components

    If you think back to HTML as being a document with headings and paragraphs and other semantic bits, it made a lot of sense to have the styles (expressed as CSS) separate to the document. This allows us to change the styles without touching the document – perhaps the user wanted a dark theme, needed…

  • Calculator

    I’ve been doing a bit of driving during the holidays, which means a lot of podcast listening. An episode of JavaScript Jabber about JS features you should never use sparked my interest in eval(). eval() takes whatever you pass it in a string and executes it in the JS engine.

  • CSS Intro

    When I wrote my last commercial HTML (in 1996 lol) I’m pretty sure there was no CSS. It was the land of textured backgrounds, blinking scrolling text, “under construction” gifs, and links to gopher URLs were not uncommon. So this is an area I need to update my skills a little just to carry on…
