Improving Raphael performance on iOS with CSS transitions
Mark Rhodes, February 11th, 2013
In this post I’ll run through the development of DOM-Raphael, a basic CSS3 based JavaScript library which acts as a replacement for Raphael and can be used to improve performance when running on iOS. The source code for the JavaScript for this post is available on GitHub. The driver behind the creation of this library [...]
JSConf EU 2012
Chris Price, October 12th, 2012
Hot on the heels of Reject.js was JSConf EU, a weekend conference about, well, JavaScript! It was my first time there so I was a little unsure what to expect, I was absolutely blown away by the venue, the organisation, the food, the drinks, the talks and most importantly the people. Thanks this time goes [...]
Reject.js
Chris Price, October 10th, 2012
Last Thursday I headed to Berlin for Reject.js, a community JavaScript conference organised to coincide with JSConf.eu. I was very impressed by the professionalism with which the event was run, which in turn allowed everyone to learn a lot and have a great time.

Tweet I have recently been working on an application called Toob as an entry for CodeProject’s App Innovation Contest.

Making the most out of JavaScript Intellisense in VS2012
Chris Price, September 18th, 2012
Intellisense for JavaScript has always felt to me like an unfinished addition to Visual Studio, something that promises so much but doesn’t deliver for larger projects. Manually adding and then maintaining another set of dependency references just for Intellisense has just never seemed worth it. However, with the launch of Visual Studio 2012 Intellisense has [...]

Ext JS 4 Stock Charts
Mark Rhodes, December 1st, 2011
I’ve been working with Ext JS 4′s pure Javascript charting package for a while now and due to the lack of decent real-world examples (i.e. those that don’t just use almost all default settings) and a few undue omissions in the documentation, it’s not always been plain sailing. In an attempt to rectify this situation, [...]
Movember Themed Bookmarklet
Chris Price, November 24th, 2011
I recently came across the mustachify.me service. Inspired by Movember, I just had to spread the mo-ssage. One bookmarklet later, I can now man-up any page* I deem appropriate. I’ve picked some likely stooges from Scott Logic for you to test the link out on. Admire them first with their frankly boyish faces, before clicking [...]
Full Frontal Conference 2011
Chris Price, November 15th, 2011
Last Friday I headed down to Brighton for the annual Full Frontal conference. It was my first time there and I’m very glad I made the trip. The quality and breadth of the talks given far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to Remy Sharp for his organisational and timekeeping skills, and everyone else who made the [...]
