Welcome to my blog!
My name is MarkupDeveloper, and I am a front-end developer and JavaScript specialist based in Ukraine. I have been doing web development for over three years, and I decided it is time to give back to the community that taught me so much.
What This Blog Will Cover
- JavaScript techniques and patterns
- jQuery plugins — both third-party reviews and plugins I write myself
- CSS and HTML markup tricks
- Mootools and Prototype framework guides
- Cross-browser compatibility tips
- Web development tools and resources
Why Start a Blog?
Every week I run into problems, find solutions, and think "I should write this down." This blog is that notebook — publicly shared. If my solutions help even a few other developers save time, it is worth it.
I read a lot of development blogs myself. I have learned most of what I know from people sharing their work online. At some point you have to stop just consuming and start contributing. This is my contribution.
Coming Up Next
The first few posts are already in the pipeline:
- A collection of jQuery plugins useful for WordPress and general projects
- A custom slideshow plugin I have been building for client work
- jQuery 1.3 documentation resources — online and offline
See you in the next post. If you have questions or suggestions, feel free to leave a comment or reach me via the contact page.
Welcome aboard!
