How I did it: I created a script to place on my website. I wanted to learn so I could display my feed on my website and I am in the process of creating an Adobe Air app so I needed to learn to create one. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I read the book Bulletproof Ajax, but it wasn't until I watched the podcast "The Art of Code" that it started to make sense. I reread the first couple of chapters of the book again while typing up my own cheat sheet and now it makes sense.Don't confuse AJAX with the all the Javascript libraries that are out there (YUI, JQuery, Mootools ...etc). Some of them have AJAX built in but they don't == AJAX. They are just libraries. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started a MFA program and one of the classes is a photography class. I had to get one. The assignment asked for a lot of manual setting to be changed. I nor do my pockets regret it :-). Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
Essentially your portfolio is never “finished”, but I have 12 of my “best” items in it right now. For all intensive purposes, it is done.
eh, I changed my mind. I was being practical when I chose VA. I really want to live in Cali but its so far away from all my fam.
