DRY-ing up styled-components
23.11.2020
I like working with styled-components. They allow you write CSS in your JavaScript, keeping your CSS in very close proximity to your JavaScript for a single component.

Custom properties not only enable us to make our code more efficient, but allow us to work some real magic with CSS too. One area where they have huge potential is theming. At Atomic Smash we use Tailwind CSS, a utility class framework, for writing our styles. In this article, we’ll look at...

How to Work With WordPress Block Patterns
12.11.2020
Just a little post I wrote up over at The Events Calendar blog. The idea is that a set of blocks can be grouped together in WordPress, then registered in a register_block_pattern() function that makes the group available to use as a “block pattern” in any page or post.
Block patterns...
A Spreadsheet Importer You’ll Enjoy Using
12.11.2020
A great developer tool takes a painful task that would normally be a developer’s entire job, and makes it a pleasure to do. As a personal example, I’ve needed to build an image uploading experience many times in the past. I’ve hand-coded them and experienced far too much pain doing that. Then...

CSS in 3D: Learning to Think in Cubes Instead of Boxes
23.10.2020
My path to learning CSS was a little unorthodox. I didn’t start as a front-end developer. I was a Java developer. In fact, my earliest recollections of CSS were picking colors for things in Visual Studio.
It wasn’t until later that I got to tackle and find my love for the front end....
How to Think Like a Front-End Developer
21.10.2020
The topical idea of “how to think like a front-end developer” began for me as a series of podcast interviews on ShopTalk Show. That was in preparation for a talk I was preparing (and gave) of the same name. That talk evolved into my essay The Great Divide, which evolved into the essay...

Web Technologies and Syntax
24.9.2020
JavaScript has a (newish) feature called optional chaining. Say I have code like:
const name = Data.person.name;
If person happens to not exist on Data, I’m going to get a hard, show-stopping error. With optional chaining, I can write:
const name = Data.person?.name;
Now if person...
