Brothercake is a professional web-developer based in the UK, specialising in client-side programming, with a strong focus on accessibility and standards-based development.

“With the recent release of Firefox 3.5, I'm very pleased to announce the release of updates to both my add-ons: Dust-Me Selectors, and CodeBurner for Firebug.

“Over and above the day-to-day work of developing and building the web, comes the complementary work that reflects upon it — writing, educating, and building tools to help other developers.
