Facebook application development

October 15, 2009

I’m enjoying my first foray into Facebook app development. Unfortunately, the documentation is relatively sparse and the book I’m reading (Wrox’s “Facebook Application Development”) is not entirely helpful.

The Power of democracy

August 21, 2009

I used 99designs.com to have a logo devised for a new site I’m creating. To some web designers this would be seen as a sin and a betrayal of the design community but I think 99designs is the ideal place to get a logo created. I wouldn’t want my website itself to be designed that [...]
