  The square of the sum of the first ten natural numbers is,

// The datasets below are simply shorter versions of

BrowserSlides

I wrote a simple slides parser / formatter and presenter library in JavaScript, jQuery, and Markdown; OK, and some CSS and HTML.

History

I was asked by a former colleague to give a presentation on jQuery plugins to a few people he worked with at my former place of work. I thought it might be cute and a good exercise to write a plugin that converted a block of markdown text into HTML with the goal of using that HTML as the slide deck for the presentation.

As it turned out I rather liked the idea of having presentation slides as a markdown file rather than in a standard presentation software specific file format. I am a programmer through and through so I guess it should be no surprise to myself, or others, that I like, nay prefer, the markdown file format and don't mind working in it at length.

Commander JavaScript

I have been wanting to gain some more Computer Science knowledge so I started reading more about Design Patterns. I have known about them for a long time and generally speaking my primary understanding ended at the Singleton pattern. I knew that there were other patterns defined but had no use for them since I didn't know them or how to use them.

Recently I have been building libraries of code more and have found that I like the Command Pattern a lot. Especially in JavaScript where some other language features are missing - or available depending on your point of view - which create problems for securing functionality from tampering.

Use Case

You are a developer wanting to create a new library for a particular purpose. You know that you are not going to necessarily think of everything, needed for other developers to use up front, so you want to also provide a way for them to add in features as they need to. You want to do this but don't want to allow them to harm the functionalit

Angular Service Dependencies

I am trying to make one Service (SecondService) a dependency of another (FirstService), where the result from one is going to joined with portions of another.

Disclaimer: I have about 8-10 hours of total AngularJS experience.
