Why?

To write down my ideas & discuss them with fellow interwebbers, make some of my code publicly available for others to use & maybe get more discipline into my thoughts by researching them a bit before I open my mouth.
Hopefully I will also be able to help some other developers, just as numerous blogs have helped me out over the past years.

Who am I?

My name is Gilles Ruppert, aka elduderino78 (ever seen The Big Lebowski?). I am a Front-end developer for BBC Worldwide and work on their consumer websites which include:

I am focusing on web standards: POSH HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility & usability. I’m also doing a little bit of PHP & CakePHP development whenever time allows.
My aim is to become an accessible JavaScript Ninja & for that I’m devouring pretty much any decent JavaScript book that comes out.

I have probably chosen the worst possible time to start blogging as I will become a dad in about 3 months, but maybe I can keep posting whilst holding the little one in the middle of the night :-)

Cheers,

Gilles
