Upcoming Code Break and Live Streams Next Week / / No Comments Hey folks. Next week I’ve got not one, not two, but three different presentations happening. Here’s what I’ve got going on. Code Break Episode 29 My next Code Break episode will be Tuesday, July 8th at 12PM CST. I’ll be doing some playing around with vibe coding, and yes, I still hate that term. But I’ve had some recent successes, and failures, with it and I thought it would be fun to explore. Whether you are pro, or anti, generating code with AI, I’d love to have you come in and share your feedback. The DevRel Show I’ll be on Frédéric Harper’s DevRel show on July 10th at 2PM CST, talking about APIs, specifically Foxit APIs. This is my first time... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Break, code, live, Next, streams, Upcoming, Week
Code Break Tomorrow – Desktop Apps with Python / / No Comments Greetings, programs. Tomorrow (June 10th) at 12PM CST (Cool Standard Time), I’ll be hosting my next Code Break, "Build Desktop Apps with Python and Flet". My last two sessions covered building desktop apps with Tauri, a TypeScript/Rust platform, so I’m looking forward to playing with a Python version of the same idea. You can RSP at the link above, or watch right here: Play Video Raymond Camden… more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: apps, Break, code, Desktop, Python, Tomorrow
Code Break Tomorrow / / No Comments Just a quick note to let my subscribers know that my next Code Break session will be tomorrow, May 19th, at 12PM CST. I plan on continuing my look at Tauri, a platform for using the web platform to build desktop apps. Depending on how much time I’ve got, I may also start playing with a Python platform as well. You can RSVP, or just watch, here: https://cfe.dev/talkshows/codebreak-05192025/. Raymond Camden… more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Break, code, Tomorrow
Code Break Back for May / / No Comments Hey folks, after a break last month (for reasons), I’m happy to announce that Code Break is back on schedule. I’m ditching any further exploration of React for now, but instead turning my attention to something I think is really fun – building desktop apps. This first session will focus on a JavaScript-based framework while my next one will cover using Python. My next session will not be on a Tuesday, but Monday, May 5th, at 12PM CST. You can RSVP/sign up/etc here: https://cfe.dev/talkshows/codebreak-05052025/ I hope to see you there! Raymond Camden… more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Back, Break, code
Watch me suffer with React more in tomorrow’s Code Break! / / No Comments So my last Code Break was… painful. My experience trying to learn React did not go well. Because of that I thought strongly about giving up, but what fun would that be? Join me tomorrow (March 18th) at 12PM CST where I’ll, once again, try to learn some basic React features and get a trivial web site built. Will I make it? Probably not! But you can come join me and cheer/heckle me on! I hope to see you there: https://cfe.dev/talkshows/codebreak-03182025/ Raymond Camden… more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Break, code, More, React, suffer, tomorrow's, Watch
Code Break this Thursday – Ray Finally Learns React / / No Comments Ok, so if you attended my last Code Break session you know I was hinting that I was really excited for my next one. For years now I’ve wanted to give React a fair shake and actually try to build something with it. Finally I’m making time to do so. This Thursday at 12PM CST, my next session will be: I Don’t like React. Let’s Learn React! To be clear, it isn’t that I dislike React, it’s just that every time I’ve looked at the code, it just didn’t gel with me. I know it’s incredibly popular, but I always felt like if I needed to build a proper "web app", I’d just use Vue (despite my feelings about Vue 3, feel free to ask me in... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Break, code, Finally, Learns, React, this, Thursday
Christmas Code Break – Next Tuesday / / No Comments Hello friends. The next, and final (for the year!) Code Break will be Tuesday, December 17th, one week from today. I’ve got some surprises in store and would love to use this last session to answer questions from my audience. If you’ve got a question you would like me (and others – oh wait, that’s part of the surprise!) to answer, leave me a comment below and I’ll try to get to it. I hope to see you there!

Next Code Break – December 5th / / No Comments Hey folks, just a quick note. My next Code Break show will be this Thursday, December 5th, at 12PM CST. I apologize for the randomness of these sessions. My goal in 2025 is to get them a bit more consistent. We’ll see how well that works out. 😉 To RSVP for the next show, head over to https://cfe.dev/talkshows/codebreak-12052024/. I’ll be doing more building on a blog with Eleventy. I’m also hoping to have another session later in the month! Raymond Camden… more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: Break, code, December, Next
