Two years ago, the Swedish magazine Computer Sweden listed Sweden’s Best Developers 2008, where I was listed as number 19, the highest ranked Interface Developer. Today they announced Sweden’s Best Developers 2010 
.
Recently I was talking with a Product Manager at another company about how feedback manifests itself.
You have probably seen this elsewhere on the web, read me go on about it on Twitter, or something, but I thought I’d go through what I find to be some weird and provoking marketing strategies from Microsoft recently.
Swedish magazine Computer Sweden has appointed who they think are the 75 best developers in Sweden 
, and I was ranked number 19.
I have been interviewed for DZone/Web Builder Zone, where I mainly talk about DOMAssistant. Hopefully you get answers to some questions you have possibly had. 🙂
I will be featured in the next issue of Internetworld . There will be a two-page spread called The Pro’s Choice, where I list three web sites that I like and the reason for choosing them.
Today I have a debate article in today’s issue of Computer Sweden, and already in page 2 (meaning that everyone will read it :-)). It can also be read here: LÃ¥t användarna pÃ¥verka webben . Most of it is just stating the obvious about focusing on end users and caring to all different kinds of accessibility needs, but I also manage to throw in a little comment regarding what I feel about the Web 2.0 hype.
Nevertheless, reaching 130 000 readers is never bad. 🙂
Johan Van Den Rym has performed an interview with me, Jonathan Snook and Dustin Diaz for fadtastic/aspiramedia. Interesting questions and good answers (especially that Robert guy ;-)). Feels good be given the opportunity to ramble a little… 🙂
Go read!
In the latest issue of Internetworld I have a debate article on the subject of implementing AJAX solutions in a professional, usable and accessible manner, and not forsake all existing web developing web conventions.
Today is a happy day for me! I have a full page in the Swedish magazine Computer Sweden , it’s an interview that got split into two articles. One is about Web 2.0 and the different online services that are released, and the other one is about using web standards, semantic code and separation of content (HTML/XHTML), presentation (CSS) and interactivity (JavaScript) to target as many users as possible.
Why this is a big thing to me is because it’s the computer magazine with the widest spread in Sweden; an estimate of 127 000 readers! That’s about five times the population in the town I live in, Vallentuna, or about 1/70th of all the Swedes. 🙂
Another thing that makes me happy is that the journalist that interviewed me is the same one whose article I expressed my opinions about two weeks ago. Kudos to him for understanding the constructiveness of my post and also seeing how I could contribute to his magazine.
If you have a web code for Computer Sweden, you can read the two articles here:
Last week I had a little tête-à-tête with Dag König where we talked about the upcoming release of Internet Explorer 7 the latest beta preview and the future in general.
So, if that sounds interesting, or if you just want to hear my Sean Connery-like voice (yeah, right…), go listen now. The interview is unfortunately in Swedish, but, who knows, maybe the rest of you can pick up some Swedish web developing buzzwords…
Enjoy! 🙂
I am very proud to announce that my latest code concept, ASK, is the feature code article Easy Ajax with ASK, in the February issue of Treehouse Magazine.
I was actually asked back in Mid-November to contribute, but unfortunately I had too much things going on then, so I didn’t feel I would have the time and the focus necessary to produce something worthy of being in Treehouse. We talked back and forth and postponed it until now, but finally, here it is! 🙂
Part of me is humbly very appreciative of being asked, no less by the extraordinary people of Particletree producing Treehouse, and whose impact on the web developing scene has been tremendous; I think there are few web developers out there, at least of the blog-reading kind, that have never heard of them.
Another part of me thinks I rightly deserve this; during the last seven years I’ve put a vast amount of time into web developing and into learning and trying to become a better and more considerate web developer. To work that hard for something and to get this kind of recognition warms my heart and sends me the message that it was all worth it, it wasn’t a struggle in vain.
Tomorrow I will write a release post offering you the source code and a demo of ASK for you to try out and give me feedback about. However, that post will only be a short introduction, if you want a longer technical explanation as well as getting to know why I made the different choices I did, I strongly recommend to get a hold of the Treehouse Magazine issue (plus the fact that you will then have a day up on everyone else, since a link to the demo is in the article).
Also, nevertheless, if you’re not even slightly interested in ASK, I still recommend picking it up, because, as every issue of this magazine, it’s fascinating.
PS. Yes, apparently I’m being a little narcissistic today. Please let me just have this one, I promise I’ll be back to normal soon… 🙂 DS.
Martin Söderlund has performed an interview with me , and it felt pretty well-balanced. Half of it is about web developing, the other about more personal things.
The interview is in Swedish, but what better reason to learn Swedish than this…? 😉
