About
Since joining forces with lynda.com (now LinkedIn Learning) in 2010, I've 60+ published courses on WordPress, front end web design and development, and web standards, reaching hundreds of thousands of viewers from all over the world. I also contribute to the web community as a public speaker, author, educator, web developer, and design philosopher.
I help the web make sense by helping people understand and get the most out of the web, and contribute to the debates about ownership and democratization of information, design philosophy, and the open web.
