Guest Posts and Advent Calendars

This year, I’ve been lucky enough to write two articles for two great “advent calendar” style sites.

I try to write for the Performance Calendar every year around this time and this year I’ve written about progressive image loading using Intersection Observer and SQIP.

In this article, I dive into an image loading technique known as LQIP and walk through a step by step process of getting this up and running. If you’d like to learn more about this, I recommend checking out the link on this years Performance Calendar.

I am a big fan of the 24 ways advent calendar for web geeks. If you are a junior developer starting out in the web industry, things can often seem a little daunting. There are so many things to learn, and as soon as you’ve learnt one framework or tool, there seems to be something new out there. For this years calendar, I’ve written an article entitled Levelling up for Junior Developers.

This article explores the basic fundamentals that every developer should know and provides a learning path for developers starting out in the web industry.

I hope you enjoy the articles. Happy holidays!
