Last night I attended the Girl Develop It (Philly) holiday party and gave a quick talk. I have been incredibly anxious to meet everyone that is part of this particular chapter, as they seemed especially active and welcoming. I have also been making an effort to ease into the terrifying world of public speaking so this event seemed completely perfect and I couldn’t sign up for it fast enough.

…keeps the dev blues away? I don’t know, I just like illustrated fruit.

It has been a couple months since the wrap up of my Kickstarter for Pocket Guide to Writing SVG. The book was published over a month ago and since that time I have had an overwhelming urge to give this thing away to anyone in need of such a resource.

My very first Kickstarter project recently wrapped up and I seem to get a lot of questions on the experience, so I thought I should write a post and share the joys and terrors of it all, as there were several of each.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Since this post was published SMIL animations have been deprecated and the animated demo will no longer work. I decided to leave it up though as the text along a path bit is still relevant.
