Pagination is a pretty common thing online. However I don’t always like to use a server side solution for pagination when a client side Javascript solution would be much nicer. So I decided to write a small module that allows you to easily set up pagination on a page for a given set of elements with a common class. It’s called pages.js.
For the longest time I have grown as a developer knowing about all these amazing conferences and community events for developers happening all over the world, and to this day I still have no attended a single one. It seemed to me that developers in my area did not organize many community events. That is until recently. Now, the efforts of a few have brought a couple new things to Wichita to contribute to the developer community.
I don’t have to tell you every reason why commenting code is important. Most of us know already. However, if you’re anything like me, it can be easy to forget about these benefits when you’re in the middle of writing your code. You want to keep the flow moving and stopping to think about how you can explain the logic in plain english can be a roadblock.

This blog certainly isn’t updated as often as I would like. Even when it is, the posts are minimal, I don’t use a lot of other functionality outside of categories and pagination. Previously this website was running on WordPress but I’ve decided to move away from that for a few reasons. Though primarily I was just tired of WordPress.
I use the word ‘awesome’ pretty excessively, so this project appealed to me right off the bat. Beyond word-choice, though, Font Awesome is an open source icon-font available for use in your websites, and it’s some seriously high quality stuff. I’m using it here on my recent redesign, and with a recent addition of 70 new icons in the latest version, there’s bound to be some awesome icons that are a perfect fit for your project.
