About

Ah, the about page. Well, you’re here, so I suppose I better tell you a bit about myself and this site…

I’ve been developing web sites and applications for over 8 years now, and have always tried to stay on the leading edge of web trends and technologies. Throughout my career, I learned a lot of things from other people’s articles, and figured I am now at the point where I can give back. So I created this site as a place to share my thoughts and opinions about all things web-related, specifically in the world of PHP and JavaScript. While I do most of the writing on this site, I’ve always welcomed contributions from my friends and peers. If you’ve got something you’d like to share with the community, feel free to contact me and we’ll work something out!

A bit more about myself… I live in the San Francisco bay area with my wife and son. I work for Aptana as a developer. When I’m not in front of a computer, you can probably find me playing xbox 360 (gamertag ianrselby if you want to add me as a friend), or helping my wife out with her art, which is for sale at www.sleepyholloworiginals.com… check it out, it’s some pretty cool stuff (and portions of proceeds go to charity). If I’m not being a dork, I’m generally out exploring all the sights and other cool things going on in the bay area.

Anyway, I encourage everyone that visits this site, to visit the sites I link to, and to read all the articles that I mention. There is so much going on with emerging web trends and technologies right now that it’s next to impossible to keep up. I hope that this site becomes a valuable resource to any developer wishing to advance themselves outside the realm of traditional programming and into the so-called “web 2.0″ world (this site will always be buzz-word compliant).
