The Slow March of Web Component Progress
user · Posted on September 24, 2017October 6, 2018

Almost two years ago, I made a hefty series of posts on the promise of Web Components. Things have changed and promises were broken, but on the whole, I don’t think MUCH has changed from an implementation perspective. These days, I’ve been sucked into the awesome world of the 3D web and WebVR and soon …
A-Bad attitude about A-Frame (I was wrong)
user · Posted on July 14, 2017April 14, 2018

I haven’t written many posts lately, especially tech related. The reason why is that I’ve been chasing the mixed reality train and learning. 3D development in general has had a number of false starts with me, and I never went in the deep end until now. This past year or so, I’ve been using both …
360 Video: An Afternoon Within
user · Posted on August 19, 2016April 14, 2018

With the Oculus store continuing to get some interesting titles while I wait with baited breath over getting my very own Oculus Touch Controllers when they get released, its easy to forget about 360 Video. Some say 360 Video is not VR at all like Vive engineer Alan Yates: The problem Mr. Yates seems to …

A Week at the Hololens Academy
user · Posted on June 17, 2016April 14, 2018

Ahhhhh the Hololens. I finally get to check it off my list. When I express my disappointment with not being able to try it out to my friends and co-workers that are interested in VR, it’s kinda like talking about going to Hawaii. “Ohhhh, you haven’t been? You really should, it’s an enjoyable experience.” (said, …
Progressive Web Apps
user · Posted on February 26, 2016April 14, 2018

Last Friday, the SFHTML5 Meetup group met to discuss something called “Progressive Web Apps.” I had some preconceived notions that the topic would be pretty cool, but actually, it got me more excited about the state of mobile/web/desktop in 2016 than I could have imagined. This might sound a bit dramatic, especially given the negative tone that …
ES6 Web Components Part 5 – Wrap-Up
user · Posted on October 26, 2015April 14, 2018

In Part 4 of my 5-part write-up, Project Setup and Opinions, I talked about lessons I took away from experimenting with ES6 Web Components. Lastly, is my wrap-up post… This was a monster write-up! In my four previous parts, I’ve shown you the basics on Web Components, what features make up a Web Component, how ES6 …
ES6 Web Components Part 4 – Project Setup and Opinions
user · Posted on October 26, 2015April 14, 2018

This article continues my ES6 Web Components series. The last article was the third in the series: Making an ES6 Component Class. So far, the basics have been pretty….basic. I hope I’ve given some ideas on how to create ES6 Web Components – but these basics only go so far. I do have some opinions …
ES6 Web Components Part 3 – Making an ES6 Component Class
user · Posted on October 26, 2015April 14, 2018

One thing I didn’t cover in my last post (#2 in the series) about all the pieces that bring Web Components together is actually using ES6! It’s not a feature of Web Components, but its some seriously nice glue that lets you tie your Web Component structure together. To be honest, I’m not using it …
