He likes to occupy the niche where both design and code intersect, so he’s often found tinkering with unique JavaScript interfaces. While running his own business he’s consulted and worked for government departments, nonprofit organisations, large corporations and tiny startups.

As well as helping his list of clients, Cameron has taught numerous workshops around Australia and spoken at conferences worldwide, such as @media and Web Essentials. In 2006 he released his first book - The JavaScript Anthology (Sitepoint) - which is one of the most complete question and answer resources on modern JavaScript techniques. He is soon to release the first JavaScript book prequel, whereby he’ll go back and fill in all the gaps which beginners might have fallen through.
