The second episode of The Ten Spot Intensive deals with a popular programming language, JavaScript, and an up-and-coming framework within that language, jQuery. This episode features guest appearances by Nathan Smith and Matt Vasquez of Fellowship Technologies.
Nathan Smith is a goofy guy who has been building websites since late last century. He enjoys hand coding HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. When not elbow deep in code, he dabbles in design and information architecture. He has also written for online and paper publications such as Adobe Developer Center, Digital Web, and .Net Magazine. He has spoken at venues including Adobe MAX, BibleTech, Echo Conference, Ministry 2.0, Refresh Dallas, and Webmaster Jam Session.
Nathan works as a designer + front-end developer at FellowshipTech.com. Off the clock, he is wrapping up a Master of Divinity degree from Asbury Theological Seminary via correspondence.
He is the founder of the Godbit Project, a community resource aimed at helping churches and ministries make better use of the web. He is also the creator of the 960 Grid System, a lightweight framework for sketching, designing, and coding page layouts.
