About Estelle May 29, 2008
My name is Estelle Weyl. I am a consulting web developer, write for Community MX, speak about web development on occasion, and have a full time job as Senior Web Developer for Engage.com.
I’ve been coding CSS, XHTML, JavaScript and PHP since 1999, tableless CSS since 2003. If you have any recommendations on topics for me to hit, please let me know via comments. I am currently working on entries regarding: favicons, microformats, image effects using CSS, eventlisteners/eventhandlers and cross browser AJAX using YUI and a php proxy. Let me know!
At some point I will tell you a little about myself. But, in the meantime, I will spend time sharing knowledge I gain as I continue to develop websites. Here are some sites I have developed:
- Engage
- Yahoo! Mobile
- International Yahoo! Mobile Websites
- Hudson Valley Eye Associates
- Cyclone Microsystems
- Agiliance
- Merritt Staffing
- Muzzy Learn & Play
- The DNA Files
- APIAHF
- Lynn Sien Designs
- Words & Ideas
- Hudson Retina
- Fundamental Capital
- Table d’Hote
- Stratton Gardens
- Track-a-beast

A comment about comments
All relevant comments will be approved whether they slam my work or support it, as long as the poster legitimately identifies themselves. Differing opinions are o.k. The reason there is an approval process is because I have better things to do than weed out spam, and web developers have better things to do then weed thru useless comments.
Speaking Engagements
I don’t have any speaking engagements until the spring, so won’t post them yet. Please do vote for my panels at SXSW if you want to hear me speak (shameless plug). I will be posting the scripts of my past presentations here when i get them typed up, but you can see the powerpoints from my presentations at TodCon at SlideShare.
Glad to see fellow female programmers!! Good for you, you’re site’s adorable :)
I’m happy to learn about your blog, it fits with the topic on my blog perfectly. I intend to make sure my readers know about you.
Great site! I’m an artist, not a programmer, but these days a web designer needs to be a bit of both. I’m learning CSS as fast as I can, and your articles on this subject are particularly helpful. Thank you, and keep up the good work - I’ll be coming back to learn more!
I don’t know if I’d call the site “adorable” (would the commenter have said the same if it were a man’s blog?) but this is definitely a great resource for digging into CSS and JS problems. I find myself reading articles as they come out, and then coming back again once I’ve encountered a “real world” example and need a refresher. Keep up the good work!
Hi there! Nice blog! Very informative…
I had Web Development as one of the courses in my undergrads. I just graduated. I have the knowledge and experience(in terms of class projects and assignments)for a New Grad Software Engineer position, but not for a web developer position. I would love to do a job in UI team. I have been doing my bit in WebUI by doing some online tutorials in Dojo / Server side technologies. I went through your interview questions and doubt if I would be able to answer all of them correctly. Do you have any suggestions for students who want to pursue a career in WebUI? and haven’t got an opportunity to get a relevant degree like in HCI, etc?
