FA Skills Now Live

FA Skills Now Live

I had a great visit to the FA yesterday at Wembley to meet Mindaugas Vaiciulis and Tomasz Libich to take them through the new FA Skills codebase and architecture. The site went live a few weeks ago and is a site offering ways for parents and kids to take part in football coaching for 5 to 11 year olds.

An empty Wembley

Strangely it was my first time ever inside a football stadium and it happened to be when it was completely empty. But it’s an impressive place. Apparently some of the staff have a jog around the stadium on the 5th floor at lunchtime for a bit of exercise as it’s a 1 Km round trip.

Including jsLint in your validation using nAnt, batch files or ajax

jsLint is a fantastic tool developed by Douglas Crockford, Yahoo!’s JavaScript architect which will validate JavaScript source to a strict specification which often catches hidden errors.

As the website says jsLint will probably “hurt your feelings” as it enforces conventions which not everyone would like…however, I would recommend you include it within your build scripts and work through any issues it throws up. You will be grateful of it in the end!
