How to Search - An article on MDN Web Docs that describes the search capabilities of the Firefox JavaScript Debugger. As of July 30, 2020, the page lists me as the last to edit it on October 15, 2019.
-
Element: mousedown event - is an MDN Web Docs page describing the event handler for the mousedown event. The reference was written as part of an initiative to document all event handlers.
The page describes the mousedown event and the accompanying JavaScript example uses the mousedown, musemove, and mouseup event handlers to let the reader draw using the mouse. To keep the example simple, it only draws. There is no eraser and no ability to change the drawing color or the pen thickness.
Mouse Events
A very simple example of using mouse events to draw on an HTML canvas using the mouse. It doesn't have any ability to change pen color or thickness. It was written simply to show how to handle events in vanilla JavaScript.
SnipMan
This is a Python application that I created back in 2012 to track the tasks and projects I was working on while I was a contractor at Google. Employees were required to submit a list of the tasks they completed during the week. This app allowed me to create the file as I was working on it during the week. It helped me to remember what I had worked on so I could report it accurately.
I have since added JavaScript and Visual Basic .NET versions of the application just for fun.
- SnipManJS - The JavaScript version of SnipMan
- snipManPython - Contains two versions of the program
- SnipMan Python v1 - The original snipman program created in 2012
- SnipMan Python v2 - A slightly updated version of the program attempting to implement SnipMan using best practices for Python.
- SnipManVB - Snipman written for Visual Basic .NET
Spiromania
Spiromania draws images similar to the old Spirograph game that was popular in the 60s and 70s. It is based on a sample application written in Delphi by Jeff Duntemann.
Stuff2Do
The web app Stuff2Do is a jQuery example that manages a simple To Do list. Tasks are stored in local storage rather than in a database just to keep the application simple. It was written as a learning exercise.
Tipster
Tipster calculates the tip at a restaurant. Allows users to set the number of diners, and the percentage that the use wants to tip.
WhatToDo
What To Do is similar to Stuff2Do. It is a C# Windows Desktop application that maintains a list of tasks. In this case, tasks are stored in a text file. on the user's computer.
Yacht
Yacht is a game similar to Yahtzee written in JavaScript.
