Jeremy on Angular 

Permanent location of 'Jeremy on Angular'

Jeremy Keith uses a discussion of the Angular JavaScript framework to set up the two (very broadly speaking) camps in web development: those who develop for the Web and those who develop on the Web. (I realise that speaking about them in those terms is biased, but I share Jeremy’s bias, so I’ll let it stand.)

This perfectly encapsulates discussions I’ve been having recently, and Jeremy’s way of putting it also helps me understand why others may feel this way and why they’re not necessarily wrong: Although I disagree, seeing the Web as a dumb pipe for your content is perfectly reasonable if one’s background is in non-Web development. If the Web is simply another platform, things such as RPCs and browser requirements are fair game.

But boy do I not share that sentiment.

This is Simply Jonathan, a blog written by Jonathan Holst. It's mostly about technical topics (and mainly the Web at that), but an occasional post on clothing, sports, and general personal life topics can be found.

Jonathan Holst is a programmer, language enthusiast, sports fan, and appreciator of good design, living in Copenhagen, Denmark, Europe. He is also someone pretentious enough to call himself the 'author' of a blog. And talk about himself in the third person.
