TypedBezier

TypedBezier

    As a devoted follower of Anders (Hallowed be His name) I have been waiting to try TypeScript for some time. Since we could not agree to use it as the frontend language for our current application I had to try it on my own. I decided to port a small project for drawing Bézier curves I had done in Silverlight a few years ago. It seemed a good candidate since it was short (several hours of work), was a real task (if drawing Bézier curves is a real task) and provided the opportunity to explore the Canvas API, something I had been intending to do for some time.

Happy Programmers' Day 2013

Happy Programmers' Day 2013
   Happy Programmers' Day to everyone whose job is to move bytes around or just does it for fun. I just realized I have not posted a programming article in a year. I really need to fix this or else I might have the right to celebrate revoked. Or maybe I can blame Nerds2Nerds for the lack of programming content here.
