My name is Sam Perrow, and I like doing computer programming for a career and for fun.
Like many others, I started my web development career making WordPress sites, and later I created two WordPress plugins as my first true programming projects. I now work as a SharePoint developer.
For me, the most rewarding experiences in computer programming are:
1) Solving problems.
2) Seeing others benefit from using my programs.
I take an immense about of pride in my work, and always strive for the nearly unattainable goal of perfect code. So, if you notice an error or potential improvement in my work, please share as I would love to hear your suggestions.
My Open Source Projects
SP Calendar Pro
An ultra lightweight, dependency-free JavaScript library to easily manage SharePoint calendar events.
Example:
spcalpro.getCalendarEvents({
listName: 'StaffSchedule'
}).ready(function(data, obj) {
if (obj.error) console.error( obj.error );
console.table( data );
});
