This side up please
On my current project we started seeing issues with images, especially when taken using an IPhone, that were shown as being rotated. Reading up on it I found that this is due to IOS using EXIF orientation, which is not always handled the same way on eg. Windows. I found a couple...
Build: What’s new in TypeScript
So Build is well underway, and I finally got around to diving into some of the talks that are online. One of my early favorites is Anders Hejlsbergs talk on news in TypeScript . Anders gives a good run through of the TypeScript typesystem, starting with the basics and covering...
2017 review
Another year has flown by, and it has been quite a change of pace for me. With my daughter being born last year, I have had to prioritise more than ever. Not really a surprise, but when you are going into it you don’t really know what will be possible. Looking back it has...
Type(Script)Ahead

TypeScript 2.0 beta non-nullable types
One of the nice features of functional programming languages like F# is the lack of null. Not having to check for null every where makes code a lot less errorprone. As the saying goes "What can C# do that F# cannot?" NullReferenceException". Tony Hoare who introduced null...
Initial thoughts on Angular 2
I was asked to do a talk about Single Page Applications and Angular 2 in a couple of weeks. At first I was a little sceptical, because Angular 2 is far from a finished product yet. After agreeing that the main points could be around SPA architecture, TypeScript and how you can...
Is TypeScript taking hold?
Fantastic times! I just got back from a week off around easter, summer is almost here and I was awarded Microsoft MVP for ASP.NET/IIS for the first time. So all I that is missing is getting some blogging done. At the moment I am really enjoying TypeScript, and I am feeling really...
