Why ReSharper Is Worth Using (reason #879)

April 14, 2013 By 9 Comments

  I often email the folks at JetBrains (the makers of ReSharper) letting them know that one of their refactors is wrong.  They often email me back letting me know my about my misunderstanding.  I actually enjoy this. Today, was a perfect example but I did not get past the ReSharper feedback form when I realized my code was wrong (sadly missed the exchange with them).  I’m busy writing the SEO save for Silicon Valley Code Camp’s new web site (coming by next week hopefully).  In this case, I’m looking for a trackId passed into the sessions.aspx page. If I find it, then I redirect to a more friendly URL. Here is my code I was going to complain to ReSharper about as incorrectly warning me that my trackId = … Continue Reading

Creating a 1024×768 Video On A High Res Monitor With Macro Express Pro Helping

April 11, 2013 By Leave a Comment

  I’ve recently started my journey as a Pluralsight author and, as is know surprise, I’m spending a lot of time getting my tools set up.  Regardless of what video editing tool you use, you need to record both screens and voice.  I believe most video authors at Pluralsight have a dedicated monitor running at 1024x768.  They simply record this windows. Unfortunately for me, that does not work so well because I’m doing all my work on a MacBook Pro with just two external monitors (neither of which run correctly at 1024x768).  So, my process is to create a 1024x768 window in the upper left hand corner of my Thunderbolt monitor (resolution 2560x1440).  I’m going to run camtasia recorder in a custom region … Continue Reading

  Well, the title is certainly a mouthful and hopefully a honey trap for SEO.  The thing is, I’m really going to talk about all those things.  I just went through a short exercise that I thought would be useful to share. Background For Silicon Valley Code Camp, I use the toolkit ImageResizer written by  Nathanael Jones.  For those of you that deal with any quantity of images on their web sites, I strongly recommend taking a look at this.  Before I used this toolkit I written my own image handlers that did some similar things but not nearly as well or with so many features.  One of the issues we have on code camp is that we try and show lots of pictures all the time.  Sponsors and speakers are … Continue Reading

Why We (Me Included) Need to Stick To JavaScript Programming Style Standards

April 1, 2013 By 4 Comments

  I’ve listened multiple times to Douglas Crockford talk about the importance of following good programming style standards.  I try to normally, but this morning I got a little lazy with the following code: store.sync({     success: function() {Ext.Msg.alert("success")},     failure: function(a,b,c) {… I wrote this a while back and wanted to keep it short so I did not put the alert message on it’s own line.  Then, today I came along and decided to not have it execute the alert so I simply added a leading “//” giving me store.sync({     success: function() {//Ext.Msg.alert("success")},     failure: function(a,b,c) {.. … Continue Reading
