Weight Watchers Mobile Tool
•
While browsing the Weight Watchers homepage, I found they have a mobile site, but it proved to be very graphic intensive, and my mobile would not accept it. Therefore I decided to make my own Point Calculator and Resturant Point Menu listing. This tool outputs only in text, which is very small as my target browser is on my cell phone.

Web Surfer - Ignorance is Bliss

My views on open source: If you can view the code via the 'View Source' option, it is openly available. Usually this opens the door on HTML and JavaScript, which are fairly benign elements on their own. This does not mean that one can not be creative with HTML and JavaScript, just that because the resources are readily available it is hard to tell what came first. All of my code on all of my external sites are open to use if the code is accessible through the 'View Source' ability through your browser. If you would like to use the code elements, or more correctly the coding elements that are employed on these sites, I invite you to contact me and ask for permission to use those elements.
