Winner of the poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway
Congratulations to Steve, who suggested I research and write a post about the following:
2.) Thoof.com (and similar sites) track user navigation to external sites by what links were clicked. An article on how to unobtrusively do the same, to re-arrange/promote content, or update some sort of “mini-site-history” would be quite interesting.
For Steve’s suggestion he wins any downloadable Web developer software of his choice priced at $40 or less.
Over the next few weeks I will be researching/developing a solution, and I will open-source it through d’bug.
Only one day left to enter the poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway
Today is the last day to submit your entry for the poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway. Tomorrow I will be announcing the winner! Click here to read more about the contest.
The poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway
What better way for us to celebrate our first $100 Google Adsense payment then to give some of it away. Over the last three months we have started posting regularly, we have redesigned, our traffic has grown 120%, and we have been privileged to receive feedback from some very experienced Web professionals. In celebration, we offer to you the poor man’s $40 Web developer giveaway.
Entering the contest is easy, and any Web professional around the world can win. In the comments, enter one interesting Web development topic or tutorial that you would like to see posted on our blog, your first name, and an email address (not published). One or two sentences will do just fine. If we choose your topic, then we will do the research, write the post, and everyone will be all the wiser.
Should you win, you will receive any design or development related software download of your choice, priced at $40 USD or less, and licensed to you! The contest will run until 10/11/07 (one week), or will run until we have at least twenty-five entries.
Syntax Highlighter, jQuery plugins, future posts, and goodie giveaways
This is just a quick note to let you know I have “officially” chosen Syntax Highlighter by Alex Gorbatchev as the code highlighter for d’bug. Over the next month I will be making tweaks, and experimenting with it, so there is always the potential for a mishap.
Several of you have emailed me about a bug in the Truncate plugin for jQuery. Thank you for taking the time to send a fix along. I am not ignoring your emails, and I will try to wrap that change up into a release very shortly. I plan to do another jQuery tutorial in the future, but I am skeptical about building another plugin. I want to be able to provide support, and if I feel I will be unable to do this, then I do not want to short-change developers.
I have numerous ideas for posts (too many to count), and I hope to continue forward with useful tutorials as well as my occasionally ridiculous rantings. In the next month or so I will run our first giveaway — nowhere near the scale of some others, but a thanks to the design and development community nonetheless.
Stick around!
