I’ve finally taken the plunge and created my first blog post. I’m going to use this platform, not as a selfish way to get more analytical hits (but that would be nice), but as a way of sharing some of the amazing things I’ve learnt during my illustrious career and some of the insightful things I’m still learning now.
By the way, I’m Alistair Monaghan — a front-end developer, WordPress expert, AV specialist & designer.
So, whats new?
Affinity by Canva. I’ve been using Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop since my college days on a Apple G3 (circa 1998), it’s always been what I’ve used, and I was happily familiar with it, but Adobes pricing model isn’t making it a viable choice for many designers, especially when Affinity have a free vector & pixel based software solution that offers many of the same features and even some exciting new advancements. Admittedly, there has been a slight learning curve, but the support and documentation has made the transition a no brainer.
Three.js
I started my Three.js journey some time ago, and if you want to learn about 3D development for the web, it’s the best place to start, I just need to dedicate an hour or two each day to the course because it is really rewarding. Bruno is an artist and his teaching method makes a really, really complicated subject that little bit easier.
