I have some exciting news to share! My book, ‘How NOT to make a Website’, was featured in the June 2020 edition of net magazine as the Side Project of the Month.
I wrote a book called “How NOT to make a Website”, to help you know what to avoid when making a website, helping improve visitor experience.
The article explains why and how I wrote the book, the drawings and what I learned in the process.
The decision to publish the book has increased my confidence in my own writing abilities
It made me think back over the chain of events from building my own website to help promote the books, to building an open source Jekyll theme and now writing blog posts and short stories.
It’s amazing what one side project can lead to.
‘How NOT to make a Website’ is available on Amazon in both kindle & paperback format, as well as PDF format on Gumroad.

Testing window.open() in JavaScript with Jest
I recently had to write a test for a React component that opened a new browser window. To open the new window I made use of window.open() in my code. This made the component easy to write, but I had to think a bit differently about how to write the test for this.
Why did I become a writer?

I have seen a lot of arguments from all sides, some people saying they became a successful full time writer, others saying they would never give up their job, then there are others who became writers full time then went back to another job. Writing has always been a hobby for me, but this discussion has made me think more about why I write.
