Hi, I'm Lyza Danger Gardner. I have over 25 years of experience building on the open Web platform. I came from Portland, Ore., where was a co-founder of Cloud Four. I’m a generalist with an abiding love for the Web.

I like figuring things out and building web applications and sites. I especially like writing, speaking, and teaching about web technology, bringing people together and helping to be a good steward of the web and its standards.

I’ve written a couple of books, written a whole lot of other content, and spoken at dozens of conferences. I know how web fundamentals work, am reasonably decent at JavaScript/TypeScript, and have spent a lot of time doing front-end and full-stack development.

The latest

I started writing a series of historical blog posts about the 27-year history of my domain, Lyza.com. I thought it was going to be a chance to trot out technical milestones and document how my website echoed the evolution of the web platform. But it has headed somewhere else entirely.

I talk about keeping up with what's going on in this in-depth featured interview in net magazine.

In this article, I explain what a service worker is and how to put together your own by registering, installing, and activating it without any hassle.

I am interviewed in Matt Griffin's feature-length documentary about the genesis of the world-wide web (and so is Sir Tim Berners-Lee!).

This article required bravery to write, but was A List Apart's most-read article, ever, when published. I was a regular columnist at ALA when I wrote this.

In an absurd chapter for Make: JavaScript Robots, I demonstrate how to construct an indoor sundial using embedded electronics and the Johnny-Five open-source JavaScript IoT framework.

Scott chats with me about explorations into hardware using the Johnny-Five Framework: you can control Arduinos and more with JavaScript!
