Editors are tools. Rarely, however, do we consider our abilities with an editor as part of coding mastery. In traditional canvas art, we can see the painter's mastery of their tools in their works. Often times, how artists use their brushes and knives become a defining feature of
Project Euler
A second introductory problem, this time introducing integer sequences reliant on previous values. The problem The Fibonacci sequence is an integer sequence obtained by adding the previous two terms. For the purposes of the euler problem, we are told the first 10 items in this sequence will be: 1, 2,

A geometric counting problem based strongly on a single mathematical pattern. My solution ended up needing some arbitrary loop limits, which tends to suggest a lapse in understanding. The completed script finished in 2.1 seconds without optimizations. As the joys of Project Euler are in the struggle and completion,

A modified popular interview question serves as an introduction to loops, summations and modulus. The problem The objective of the first project euler problem is to find the sum of all numbers, divisible by 3 or 5, less than 1000. Approach Problem 1 serves as an introduction to many of

Background-Position-X, Background-Position-Y Background positioning is a strong case for seperating a grouped rule into individual parts. Why include x, y positioning exclusively as a rolled-up modifier? What is the danger in breaking out the properties as is done with margin or padding? Even more confusing, is this has been supported

There are a series of changes CSS could really benefit from that are largely ignored in CSS3. Generally, CSS3 improvements focus on the more complex design and updated methods: box shadows, rounded corners, etc. Personally, i'd like to see a "back-to-the-basics" approach that would fix some

Backbone.js does a lot of things right when it comes to client-heavy interfaces. Client-side M.V.Collection, RESTful by design and structured code locations are just some of the benefits i point to as reasons for its use. But, just as the version number (0.9.2 as of
