Open is a web application created by the West Side Story's Engineering and Development team. It's designed so that anybody, regardless of experience, can change properties of a webpage with ease.

Inputs for colors can be simple colors, like "red", "green", "white", etc. as well as hexadecimal colors for even more specificity.

Inputs for font faces can be "Helvetica", "Arial", "Times", and the like; these are basic webfonts.

Inputs for link formatting can include "underline", "line-through", or "overline".

If you have suggestions for fonts or additions to the list of properties, send us a personal email or talk to us in person.

WSS Engineering

A collection of stuff I think is cool.

I love what I do and I love making a difference through what I do. Seeing someone else smile because of something I did is my greatest goal.

Who am I?

I am Anthony Pizzimenti.

I'm a Java and web engineer from Iowa City, Iowa. For the last year, I've worked freelance, improving my skills in frontend and backend web development as well as software engineering. I now work for the West Side Story as a web developer, IT consultant, and podcast guy.

I don't have a lot of spare time, but when I do, I play ice hockey for the Varsity high school team (also, LGRW!). I like doing crossword puzzles and playing StarCraft II, probably my favorite video game of all time. I also enjoy playing recreational soccer (although I'll be trying out for the school team next year) with my friends and cooking. My friend Louis and I run a podcast called TechTalk, where we discuss recent news surrounding the technological news sphere as well as do a whole portion of the show dedicated to helping people troubleshoot their PC problems on reddit.

My Tools

Brackets, my HTML/CSS/JS editor. With a few added extensions, it (almost) becomes an IDE.
eclipse, my Java IDE. It's a great editor and not TOO too heavy. Easily my favorite feature is auto-building.
Not really a tool, per se, but Chrome is a great browser. I'll post a list of the extensions I use soon enough. Also, the devtools are great.
I use the command line for a lot of stuff. I use Git to organize and publish my work, and as I don't really like the desktop app, I use the command line. I also use SASS as a preprocessor, so I run SASS commands from the command line as well.

I'm Anthony Pizzimenti. I'm a Java and web engineer from Iowa City, Iowa. This is my blog about music, web and software engineering, robotics, dinner parties, and whatever else I can muster.

HAPPY CANADA DAY

WOOOOOO CANADA DAY YEAH



LET'S GOOOOOOO

Anyway, I am in Canada right now. We are making cannolis and watching Chopped Canada and going to see Jurassic World later on.


today really was a good day.

I've been developing an application called ResGen for my mom. What it's supposed to do is search a codon sequence for a restriction enzyme insertion site. I'll be developing that live on stream, so if you wanna stop by, please do. I'll post a link on twitter and /r/watchpeoplecode.

ALSO
JURASSIC WORLD
