My name is Philip Walton or @philwalton on Twitter. I'm a front end software engineer for AppFolio, a Santa Barbara based startup that builds SaaS Web applications for small and medium sized businesses.

At AppFolio we develop and maintain several different large web applications, and we try to reuse and share as much of the code as we possibly can. As a result, I spend a lot of my time focusing on patterns for writing reusable and scalable code.

Working on large scale applications and with mostly back-end developers presents a unique set of challenges. This blog is where I write about what I learn.

Writing

If you're interested in my thoughts on a particular topic, send me an email and I'll do my best to respond or write about it in a future article.

I also love being a guest writer for other online publications, so don't hesitate to ask. I've recently written for:

• Adobe Developer Connection
