Artificial intelligence lets you learn programming by generating simple single‑file HTML/JavaScript examples that illustrate how templating engines add reusability, logic, and…
The post reflects on how hands‑on programming—especially writing small programs that use reactive “signals” and SVG graphics—deepens understanding, and recounts the author’s…
The author describes building “Bornhardt,” a lightweight wiki platform that serves as an experimental playground for integrating large language models (LLMs). Using Express.js…
Pixel Citadel is a playful yet powerful mobile platform that turns everyday coding into an imaginative adventure: with AI‑powered “companions” like Router, Security, and Schema…
I developed a pan‑and‑zoom module—calling it “peasy”—over several attempts, each time trying new techniques to enable dragging within the view. The popular library I referenced…
I had a good run with AI earlier, but this evening I ran into trouble when trying to embed and zoom a “mini‑page” inside a larger web page. The mini‑page needs to sit at (0, 0)…
I asked an AI to generate visual‑programming components—HTML tags that act like buttons or inputs, a window component built from incomplete code, and a signal‑based monitor that…
The post reflects on the dual nature of genius—both a playful, sometimes foolish force and a powerful catalyst for continual learning—and frames software development as an…
Using AI to generate JavaScript programs that run in the browser is a powerful way to learn; you can write small single‑page apps, ask AI to produce code and comments, and then…
I’ve been working on an AI‑assisted art project that turns a simple alarm clock into a vocalised reminder machine: when the set time arrives it plays a shuffled sequence of…
In this introductory post, the author explains how JavaScript uses plain arithmetic expressions—like `2 + 2` or `2 * 2`—to perform basic math, and shows that results can be…
The post outlines three audio‑book plans—each with vivid chapter titles and practical projects—for impatient Electron beginners, “war‑movie” style CLI fans, and web‑geek novices…
The post recounts the author’s experiment with “vibe coding,” where an AI was asked to add features to a program without fully grasping its structure—resulting in misplaced logic…
The post argues that modern software development can be driven by detailed textual specifications rather than hand‑written code, using AI to generate requirements documents and…
I began by writing a poem titled “Strategic Software Development For Girls New To Programming,” which outlined the basic Server‑, Application‑, and User Interface‑architecture…
A three‑layered architecture is described: a key‑value store (Couch/Pouch) for persistent data, an AI‑driven flat‑object command brain that records actions with undo/redo…
The post explains how eventual consistency can be achieved by pairing each revision number with a cryptographically random number, so that when concurrent edits occur the highest…
Programming is presented as an accessible, rule‑based activity that can map everything from mathematics to logic, simulation and visualization—so it’s worth the time invested.…
The post argues that “network programming” is a new paradigm for building web applications, where developers write code that runs in an Electron shell or as a browser extension…
For beginners, assigning a username like `username = "alice"` and then calling `refreshUserInterface()` quickly becomes cumbersome as an application grows. Reactive programming…
The author reflects on how the internet has become saturated with low‑level ads masquerading as helpful, and envisions a future where AI‑powered browsers transform into…
The post argues that hand‑drawn diagrams—made with simple paper and pencil or even thicker drawing paper and dual‑tipped markers—are an indispensable tool for programmers,…
Trees are the quintessential example of a recursive data structure: each node (a “Branch”) holds a value and a list of child branches, allowing you to nest objects such as people…
The post encourages high‑school learners to seize the AI boom by building their own Firefox Web Extensions with JavaScript, turning notebooks from clutter into valuable learning…
