Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

Alexa, build me an app

Building an Amazon Echo (Alexa) skill is extremely simple, if a bit cumbersome. If you're not familiar, the Echo is an always-on home automation unit with built-in support for things like playing streaming music, getting weather information, and even turning on your wifi-connected lights. Amazon also allows developers to extend the Echo's functionality with custom "skills". These skills get the benefit of Amazon's full speech analysis engine and works through a simple JSON web API. In this talk we'll cover how we can use Node.js to write a simple skill and what else we need to do to get up and running. You'll learn how to test your new skill with a real voice interface and the basics of the cumbersome setup process on Amazon's developer portal along with some best practices. You don't need to own an Echo to write a skill... although they sure are fun to play with!

a simple git branching model (written in 2013)

This is a very simple git workflow. It (and variants) is in use by many people. I settled on it after using it very effectively at Athena. GitHub does something similar; Zach Holman mentioned it in this talk.

Update: Woah, thanks for all the attention. Didn't expect this simple rant to get popular.

chartFactory

/affini-tech/ChartFactory

Based on D3.JS and Dimple, ChartFactory provide the ability to build quickly D3.JS charts without coding any lines of javascript. Just define your dashboard in a JSON and voila !

charts: [
        {id:'chart1',
         width:800,height:250,

xAxis:{type:'Category',field: "Month",orderRule:'Date'},

 * Wrap D3 charting components in a simple Backbone view interface
 *
 * Provides a redrawing path, data sync, and fallback for non-d3 browsers.
 *
 * Views that extend ChartView should implement their own "draw" function and go to work.

 * var collection = new Backbone.Collection([ ["Maria", 33], ["Heather", 29] ]);

Here's an example workflow for rnoaa.

Note that you can alternatively install the development version of rnoaa from Github by doing

install.packages("devtools")
library("devtools")
install_github("ropensci/rnoaa")
