Welcome! The aim here is to document anything novel and/or useful found in the course of developing some seriously ambitious web application projects.

The chances are good that CSS, Javascript, jQuery, PHP and anything else even remotely relevant will be covered. Perhaps ‘relevant’ is the wrong word. I'm heavily swayed by stuff that I think is ‘cool’.

I hope you find something useful in the articles presented here, thanks for reading.

About Me

I am a web development freelancer.

I have done my time as a code monkey in the all-too-common corporate web design scenario.

Currently I find myself working on a few side projects that fuel the various novel technical articles archived on Menacing Cloud

I have learnt a lot from the open nature of the web development community. This knowledge sharing ideal is evident throughout much of our industry.

The Menacing Cloud series of articles is my attempt to give something back.
