My name is Stephen Sherratt and I'm a second year Software Engineering student at the University of New South Wales.
I started stevebob.net in October 2010 with a single app called tesla. I had been writing javascript apps for about 5 months already, and had a reasonable number, but no elegant way to distribute them. Since then it's become a hobby writing apps and showcasing them on stevebob.net.
Most of the apps here use the HTML5 canvas element - a bitmap element which can be controlled with javascript methods. This is purely a means by which I perform basic low level operations. Most commonly, I use canvas to draw lines between points, or fill in rectangles. Using these simple operations I am able to construct much more complicated effects (such as fractals and perspective).
