About
Hello. My name is Den Odell, I’m a multidisciplined web developer with expert JavaScript skills. I consider myself to be a web standards and accessibility advocate, and I have a special passion for user interface development.
As a front-end technical architect at the AKQA digital service agency in London, I built and architected several large-scale web sites and rich Internet applications for a number of clients, including Ferrari, Nike, and Nokia. Now I live in Sweden, where I have been using my technical skills and passion for music to help record labels and artists develop their presence on the Web.
Most recently, I wrote the book Pro JavaScript RIA Techniques: Best Practices, Performance, and Presentation, a guide to help web developers build web applications which are scalable, maintainable, efficient and beautiful, for Apress publishing.
In my spare time, I run nightclub events, play records at clubs across Europe, and, most recently, I have been experimenting more with digital photography.
