Check out Brackets Sprint 24
I don't normally do a blog post for new Brackets releases, but I wanted to specifically call out the most recent release, Sprint 24. From the web site, this release includes:
Code School Kicks Butt
A few weeks ago I blogged about an online course dedicated to Chrome's DevTools. That was my first experience with Code School and I thought it worked very well.
Auto-escaping code blocks in Reveal.js
Warning - this falls into the "Cool, but may not be a good idea category." I'm a huge fan of the Reveal.js framework for HTML-based presentations and I've already posted a few of my utilities/tips/etc for making it work better (or at least better for me). One issue I've run into a few times lately is escaping HTML for code slides.
New Brackets extension - JSDownloader
Over the weekend I was working on a small project and needed a copy of jQuery. I try to avoid the CDN as I find myself at airports without wifi access sometimes so I did what I normally do:
- Go to jQuery.com
- Click the download link
- Click for the latest minified version
- Right click, save as
Note about PhoneGap Build and Splash Screens
I'm currently working on my MAX Advanced PhoneGap Build presentation (wait, scratch that, of course I'm done already, I mean, who waits to the last minute???) and ran into an interesting issue. Using a splash screen is rather easy via the PhoneGap Build config.xml file.
Presenting on PhoneGap Next Week
On Tuesday, April 30th, I'll be giving a free, online presentation about PhoneGap as a preview of my Fluent 2013 presentation in San Francisco next month. This presentation will be your basic "What the frak is PhoneGap"-type presentation, but if you are looking for a chance to get introduced to the product, please join me.
Developing Mobile Applications with PhoneGap
(Wow - I need to update my bio there. Apparently I'm still an independent contractor focused on ColdFusion.)
Article Posted (Again) : Building a Google Maps Application with Updating Markers
Just as an FYI, today my first article on flippin' awesome! was published this morning: Building a Google Maps Application with Updating Markers
In the article I discuss how to create a Google Map that automatically refreshes marker data every few seconds. The idea being that you may have data for moving items (trucks, dragons, users with jetpacks) and your map can automatically update the display in near real time.
Article Posted: My Favorite Features in ColdFusion 10
This probably won't be anything interesting to my readers (you guys and gals already know what I like about ColdFusion 10), but my first article for peachpit.com went live yesterday:
My Favorite Features in ColdFusion 10
Enjoy!
Another reason to attend MAX - Hack on Brackets and PhoneGap
Attending MAX? Or going to be in LA at the same time? Use Brackets or PhoneGap? Both teams will be hosting a hackathon on Monday and Tuesday from 1 to 6PM. A MAX ticket is not required to attend. There will be free wifi and a comfy place to sit. While a MAX badge isn't required, if you are not registering for MAX you must register on the EventBrite site. For more details, see http://dev.brackets.io/hack/adobemax/. No prior experience required!
ColdFusion and OAuth Part 3 - Google
Welcome to my third and final blog post on ColdFusion and OAuth. (You may find the earlier entries below.) I apologize for the delay but I traveled last week so I'm a bit behind. If you have not yet read the earlier entries (part 1 and part 2), please do so as I will not be repeating the information I wrote about before.
