Git 101: Plus some tips and tricks
At work last month, I researched, developed, and gave a three-hour workshop on Git basics. Below is the presentation I created. I am now working on a Git 201 class!
Published Chrome Extension: Generate the Optimum jQuery Selector
I published my first Chrome Extension yesterday: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/search/Optimum%20jQuery%20Selector It can also be found on GitHub: https://github.com/amandaol/generate-selector There’s certainly a Phase 2 or Phase 3 worth of features I’d like to add, to make it far more valuable, and I don’t think it’s totally bug free, but, “beta version” is live. Enjoy!
Sublime Text – Auto Saving
A common problem is refreshing a browser, noticing no change, assuming your code is wrong, attempting to fix it, no worky, and then after a long time realizing that you had simply never saved the file and probably your code was fine the whole time.

Code Playgrounds and Placing JavaScript at the bottom of each WordPress page
I tested about 5 code playgrounds today: http://dabblet.com/ http://codepen.io/ http://jsfiddle.net http://jsbin.com http://cssdeck.com – winner CSS Deck was the winner for various reasons: when the code is embedded in another site, you can view multiple panes of code at once and each pane has line numbers. The others do some great things but not both of […]
Sublime Text 2
I just downloaded and installed, and partially configured, Sublime Text 2. Notepad++ wasn’t as robust as I wanted, and I like the idea of an IDE that is more configurable than Dreamweaver. And Sublime Text 2 has come with a lot of fanfare. I’ve stuck with Dreamweaver so long partially because it is as configurable […]
