Code Parents()

Code Parents is for people with little or no prior computing experience, who would like to be better prepared to encourage and support children in starting to explore coding.

While volunteering in primary schools I often find that parents are intrigued but mystified by the activities that their children were exploring in the code club. Many want to know more, but don’t know where to start – this site is for anyone in a similar position. Despite the website name, we want to help everyone, not just parents, but couldn’t find an all-inclusive, yet short and meaningful domain name.

Practical Responsive Images

The < picture > element and srcset & sizes attributes finally offer a standards based approach to real-world Responsive Images. The Project’s website ResponsiveImag.es  explores the new solutions available to us, provides real-world examples, and links into utilising Dynamic Imaging to make this truly practical. I’ve also been presenting on the subject at developer meet-ups and geek nights.

My book “Practical Responsive Images” is available through UK publishers Five Simple Steps : http://www.fivesimplesteps.com/products/practical-responsive-images
