The beauty of the Internet is how it allows us humans to communicate across the planet in seconds. What many don’t realize is behind-the-scenes popular websites and services are communicating too.

An API (Application Programming Interface) allows for the communication between two online platforms that is understandable by both. Lucky for us, Squarespace have an excellent API that enables communication with the worlds best automation tool Zapier.

The Squarespace and Zapier relationship allows for hundreds of automated tasks (a.k.a. Zaps) like adding an event to Google Calendar, adding a lead to the Hubspot CRM or even creating a Slack notification.

In this tutorial I show you exactly how to connect a Squarespace newsletter form to Zapier and then run you through a few possible automation options.

FAQ: Is Zapier free? The free Zapier account allows for up to 5 tasks/Zaps. If you need more, the Starter plan is $20/month for 20 Zaps.

How to Build a Cipher Machine with JavaScript

I was overjoyed recently when I read the news that the British mathematician, Alan Turing will feature on the Bank of England's new £50 note. Turing occupies a special place in the hearts of computer nerds for effectively writing the blueprints for the computer. He also helped to break the notoriously difficult naval Enigma code used by the Nazi U-boats in World War II. In honor of this I decided a quick tutorial to build a cipher machine using the JavaScript skills that are covered in my book JavaScript Novice To Ninja.

The cipher we'll be using is the Caesar cipher, named after the Roman emperor, Julius Caesar. It is one of the most simple ciphers there are and simply shifts each letter along a set number of places. For example, the phrase 'Hello World' would become 'KHOOR ZRUOG' using a shift of 3 (which it is the shift that Julius Caesar is thought to have used).

You can see an example of the finished code here. Have a play around at writing some secret messages to get a feel for how it works.

To get started, fire up your favorite text editor and save the following as caesar.html:
