Code

To put this straight: I like to develop and use the knowledge that I acquired from books, web development resources etc. to make something new and useful out of it. This section is dedicated to those pieces of work that I’d like to share with the community in the hope that people try this stuff out and give me feedback. With your expertise, my dear fellow web cracks, I am able to develop myself even more…

In addition to coding, I would also like to use this section to note down several interesting and useful things - at least useful for my kind of work as a Web Developer, I guess. So if I find the time to write an article on something I consider important for my work - or for anybody that works as a Web Developer, likely you can find it in here.

Just Another Contact Form teaser imageJACF is my first approach to developing a WordPress plugin. I needed a contact form for my blog, so why not start and develop your own? This is the result. Feel free to check it out. Includes JavaScript validation on the client side and an extra question-field to prevent spam.

GeoLinkr

GeoLinkr Teaser ImageThis plugin displays georeferences, which are basically mentions of cities and towns, on your page on a map using Google Maps API. All you need to do, apart from installing the plugin, is wrapping the name of the city, e.g. Vancouver, in anchor-tags and setting the rel-attribute to “geolinkr”.
