About Me

Who are you?

My name is Andrew Dupont. I’m a web developer with a growing interest in web user interfaces and interaction design. I live in Austin, Texas, the least boring place on earth.

What do you do?

Most of my free time (and, amazingly, some of my day job) is spent messing around with JavaScript and Prototype. About a year or so I fell into the client-side lagoon and have not come up for air since.

I’m a member of the Prototype Core development team and am collaborating on its documentation. I’ll be speaking about JavaScript at SXSW 2007, and I hope to write a book or two on the subject once I learn how to read and write.

What are you good at?

Depends on whom you ask. I think I’m good at the big-picture stuff when it comes to web design and development.

Specifically, I’m very good with XHTML and CSS, JavaScript, Photoshop, PHP, MySQL, and Apache. I’m decent at Ruby (with and without Rails), InDesign, and various other things that are tangentially related to my profession.

What is this site?

A place to be vain and experimental. Actually, it serves chiefly as a place to put all my stuff. The Aggregated Andrew, if you will. Some would call it a tumblelog. In short, the customary blog unit — the article — commingles with photos I’ve taken, quotations I find notable, links to sites I find interesting, code snippets I find useful, et cetera. It’s unstructured structured blogging.

How can I get in touch?

You can e-mail me at blog plus one of those ‘at’ signs plus the domain name you see in your address bar. You can also find me on AIM somewhat regularly: my screenname is ADupont1. Or, if you prefer, you can just leave a comment on one of my posts and it’ll reach me.
