Elevenses #1

Elevenses is a series of posts around the subject of computer programming and building websites, not football. Sorry. Just so you know.

I’ve been an avid follower of Chris Alcock’s excellent The Morning Brew for many years. But I don’t just follow Chris’ RSS feed, but many others too.

A while ago I started e-mailing around links to work colleagues from the sources I’d picked up. So as an experiment I’m starting a similar Morning Brew collection of links called elevenses.

This is issue one, but I’ve gone back to old e-mails too, starting with -1 #seewhatIdidthere .

So without ado being furthered, here we go!
