My name is David Newton and I live in Toronto, Canada. I make websites that I hope are sometimes good. On this site I will discuss issues related to web development and web design.
This site is built using web standards such as HTML5 and CSS3, and is designed to be accessible on any modern browser or device. Some of the libraries used here are:
- FOUT-B-Gone by WebINK.
- HTML5 Boilerplate by Paul Irish, Divya Manian, Shichuan, and others.
- Hyphenator by Mathias Nater.
- ie7-js by Dean Edwards.
- jQuery
- Modernizr by Faruk Ateş, Paul Irish, Alex Sexton, and others.
For browsers that support @font-face rules, body text uses Crimson by Sebastian Kosch [license]. Headings are in FF Dax Web Pro by FontFont and Bistro Script Web by Suitcase Type Foundry, and are provided by Typekit.
If you're interested in web development, web standards and great, accessible design, I recommend the following books:
- Hardboiled Web Design by Andy Clarke
- HTML5 Up and Running (a.k.a. Dive Into HTML5) by Mark Pilgrim
- Pro Git by Scott Chacon
- Responsive Web Design by Ethan Marcotte
If you run into any problems or have any questions, please let me know.
