‘javascript’ stuff

New j-o-b

Took a look at my site and noticed I hadn’t posted anything in pert near 2 months. Saw that I’ve only tweeted about twice in the past month, too. Busy guy. Or has it lost some of it’s luster? Keep reading…

Quick jQuery Lesson – Events

Just learned a quick lesson about jQuery events (think .focus, .blur, etc.) while talking through an issue with a new twitter friend. In order to make an event work it has to be inside your $(function(){}); (also known as $(document).ready(function() {}); also known as “once the DOM is ready”).

i am gabe

Gabe Harris, that's me

I love web development and I specialize in front-end development. If you think that means "just HTML" you can go play some place else on the internet, that's fine. While I'm neither an artsy designer nor an über-technical programmer, I am comfortable in both worlds. I work at the intersection of design and server-side programming with proficiency in HTML/CSS, JavaScript/Ajax (thumbs up for jQuery), ASP.NET, php (including Wordpress and CodeIgniter), Photoshop, and Illustrator.

I follow modern web design trends and techniques, but I'm not overly concerned with being bleeding edge. I browse the web with Google Chrome, I use Firefox for some of its development features sometimes, and I cringe at the thought of Internet Explorer (can guess which browser renders this site best?) I work on a PC, never had a good reason to switch to a Mac. I do have an iPod Touch, that's as close to trendy as I need to get.

When I'm not geeking out on the interwebs, I love playing with my kids and going fishing. Feel free to learn more about my experience, or see my work, or Facebook me, or follow me. Glad you stopped by!
