I’ve started a new blog about Milwaukee, Technology, and Startups at tek414.com. Give it a visit and let me know what you think. Good? Bad? What improvements are needed (besides more content)?

jQuery Air Class

I’m taking the jQuery Air First Flight online class. It’s a free product by Envy Labs created in association with JumpStartLab. The class consists of five levels; each with a video hosted by Jeff Casmir (@j3) of JumpStartLab and series of challenges. Complete the challenges correct and you can move on to the next level.

Yesterday, I completed the first two levels. Today I’m working on level 3. The challenges have been very easy for me so far, but that’s probably because I already know HTML, CSS and some JavaScript. I’m also currently learning more JavaScript by way of CodeYear.

I’m impressed with the quality of these web-based trainings … far better than most corporate training resources; especially those that are simply a recording of  someone talking over a PowerPoint presentation!

Milwaukee Startup Resources Page

I’ve added a new page to my blog called Milwaukee Startup Resources. It should be in the menu at the top of this page. If not, click to go to it. If you have ideas for other resources to add, send me a message using my contact form. I’ll be posting more on the Milwaukee startup scene soon.
