📝 Is it August already!?
Hi there!
August is here already, and July was a busy month! So much so that I broke my record for the most blog posts in a single month, with 15 😅
From the blog
I wrote a lot about images, from aspect ratios and native lazy loading to the (sort of) new WebP format.
I also announced that I’ll be back for the final Frontend NE, after a year or so in the background. Who knows when we’ll be able to hold that last meet-up, or what it’ll look like, but I’ll be there!
Here’s the full list of posts from July:
- The briefest of histories of responsive images
- Lazy loading images without JavaScript
- Using image aspect ratios to avoiding janky page loading
- Chaining Git commands
- A handy Git shortcut to fetch and prune
- An introduction to HTML attributes
- Self-closing elements in HTML
- Frontend NE draws to a close
- Reversing an ordered list in HTML
- How to change the first number of an ordered list in HTML
- Using horizontal rules in HTML
- Using address in HTML won’t be problematic for much longer
- Searching for a Git commit by name with grep
- Using WebP images
- The right way to use break tags in HTML
Elsewhere on the web
I don’t want to overload you, but I always like to include some other articles from around the web, for balance. So here are a couple of good articles for your reading pleasure:
- Why you should hire a frontend developer by Matt Hobbs, Head of Frontend at GDS
- Emojis and Accessibility: The Dos and Don’ts of Including Emojis in Texts and Emails by Beth Finke at Easterseals
See you again on the first Thursday of next month 👋
