How to run Windows IIS and WAMP server at the same time
When running web services on your local machine, you may encounter a need to run both Windows IIS (typically used for ASP development) and WAMP server (popular for PHP development).

A summary of the Skyrocket Labs redesign
- August 29, 2010
- Design
- News from the Labs
- User Experience
When I first launched the blog version of the site back in December, 2009, I envisioned it being the start of a long and enjoyable interaction with my online peers as well as an opportunity to share some of my own experiments and expertise. Since then I've achieved some thankful if modest success and have certainly learned a great deal. It's been a blast! As my colleagues will know, a web site is a living entity and it s necessary to adapt, grow and improve in order to not only practice modern techniques and tactics but also to provide users with the best experience one can provide. With that, I present v.2.1 of Skyrocket Labs.
What web developers can learn from scientists and the science community
- March 7, 2010
- Best Practices
- Professional Development
I've come to the realization that web developers are in many ways like scientists. I wouldn't go as far as to say that what we do is on par with, say, the work of quantum physicists or evolutionary biologists in an intellectual sense, nor is it as important. But our methods, behavior and how we work in peer groups is - or should be- much the same.

An interview with web designer Nicole Foster of Serene Destiny

In an effort to continue giving visibility to my peers, I'm going to post interviews from time to time with a focus on web designers who are either new (or new-ish) to the scene or who may have been around a while but you may not know. I'm pleased to introduce as my first in this series, New York web designer & developer Nicole Foster of Serene Destiny.
Facebook-style navigation menu with jQuery
After posting my Twitter-style login form I thought I'd carry on with the theme and build a quick example of how to recreate the top nav bar on the latest Facebook user interface. Specifically, the search form and nav list and more specifically yet the 'Account' item's dropdown list. With some jQuery, as you'll see, it's quite simple. (This one goes out to Eyad since it's one of the only tutorials I've posted so far that doesn't use more than a noticible amount of gray!).
