It’s only a decade late, I’ll learn TypeScript!

/ / No Comments
I’ve been a bit worried lately. Of course, my friends will tell you that’s my norm. But more specifically, I’ve been worried about my coding skills. As I use AI to generate more and more code, and it does that job well, I kinda miss actually writing code. I’ve also had a bit of writer’s block in terms of topics to cover, and especially in the area of the web platform. A few days ago it occurred to me – I’ve never really dug into TypeScript. Sure, I’ve used it, many times, in the fourteen or so years it’s been out, but many times I kinda guess at what I’m doing and it was never my default for projects. Partly that’s due to my philosophy... more →

Come Learn about BoxLang at Into the Box 2025

/ / No Comments
Later this month, I’ll be speaking at Into the Box 2025 in Washington, DC and online. I’ve spoken at Into the Box in the past and the Ortus team puts on a great show, so I’d absolutely suggest checking it out if you can. In person tickets are available, although close to selling out. The virtual event gives you everything the in person event does minus the workshops. What will I be speaking about? BoxLang of course! I’ll be giving an introductory session on the language and talking about how you can start using it today. I promise multiple, enterprise-worthy cat demos to go along with it! Come join me and many others! Raymond Camden… more →

Learn about the Photoshop API Next Week

/ / No Comments
Next week, Tuesday August 8 at 11AM CST, I’ll be giving a free, online presentation at CFE.dev on "Automating Image Workflows with Photoshop APIs". Here’s more information from the event description: Inarguably, Photoshop dominates the professional image editing software world. But did you know that many of the capabilities of Photoshop can be added to your own applications via Adobe’s Photoshop APIs? In this session, Raymond Camden will show you how to add image automations including modifying and enhancing images with powerful filters using the Photoshop APIs. If you can’t make it, just watch the recording later, and reach out with any questions. Photo by Glenn... more →

Want to learn Alpine.js?

/ / No Comments
For the past two weeks or so, I’ve been releasing videos on YouTube all about learning Alpine.js. Each video is relatively short (although longer than a Tiktok video) and can be quickly consumed, with the entire playlist coming in under an hour. Each video has links to CodePens that let you immediately play with the concepts I cover. I really like Alpine (as you can see by many other posts on the topic) as it’s an incredibly simple, and practical, JavaScript framework. There’s no build process, no hundreds of megabytes of download, and it’s something you can pick up rather quickly, as I hope my video series demonstrates. Check it out, leave me a comment, and let me know... more →
