Hi. My name is Matt McDonald. I'm a (software) developer. My specialty is HTML DOM scripting (via JavaScript.)
I've worn many different hats over these past few years. Most often, I've been a Flash developer. On the side, I've been a web developer. Initially, I was a graphic designer. One could say that I've run the full gamut of front-end skills.
Through it all, my passion has remained with HTML. It's such a beautfiul way to express one's creativity. One of my goals is creating standards-compliant pages that are viewable in as many browsers as possible. I believe vociferously in the theory of graceful degradation. I test my pages without images, CSS, JavaScript, & Flash. I also test in old—nigh—ancient browsers such as Lynx and IE 5.5/Quirks. There's a lot to be learned from the past. The building blocks of flexible web pages are set through HTML. Authoring HTML properly the first time can make a monumental difference.
Here's a short sampling of my skills:
