A week before Valentine’s Day, a hundred women (and a few good men) hacked on Hackentine’s Day e-cards to the tune of an awesome Hackentine’s Day Rdio playlist.
Uber software engineer Martha Kelly (@MarthaKelly) made this easy-to-follow Hackentine’s Day e-card tutorial for people new to HTML/CSS/JavaScript.
To start, all you need is Sublime text editor or Textmate installed on your computer, as well as a browser like Chrome.
