1. The difference between a web designer and a front-end developer

    In this industry you hear a lot of job titles banded about. So many that it’s all too easy to become oblivious to what they actually mean.

  2. North London meet-up for web folk

    Towards the end of last month I attended Croydon Creatives. I had a great time and it was fun to meet some like-minded people for a change, and I will definitely be making the effort to attend regularly in the future. The thing is, I know that there must be plenty of web folk in North London, where I’m based, too.

    Unless you’ve been living under a rock you’ no doubt heard of The Manual—a considered, well-designed and quite frankly, inspiring periodical on the topic of designing for the web. Just this evening I came to the end of issue one and thought I’d share my thoughts on it.

  4. Street tribute to Steve Jobs
