Links For You (1/11/25) / / No Comments Welcome to the first Links For You of 2025. I’m currently writing this from, I kid you not, the Danube in Austria. My wife and I are a bit over halfway through a European vacation (one we planned before Adobe decided to give me an early Christmas gift of a layoff). So far, it’s been absolutely glorious, and I plan on writing about the experience later this month. On with the links! CSS Light and Dark Themes Made Easy First up is the wonderfully named, "Come to the light-dark() Side", by Sara Joy. This looks at how native CSS can make light and dark themes incredibly easy to implement. I had no clue it was so easy to implement in CSS, but as I’ve said before, CSS has... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 1/11/25, links
Links For You (12/28/24) / / No Comments Welcome to the last Links For You for 2024. Believe it or not, I started this series way back in April of 2022, and I don’t know about you, but it’s been one of my favorite features of my blog. I love sharing cool links (and music videos!) with readers, and I hope yall have enjoyed it as well. This is my second to last post for the year so there’s still a bit more content coming, but for now, let’s get into the cool stuff! An Alpine.js Bluesky RSS Reader Folks know I love Alpine.js, and this first post is a great example of why. Andy Jarrett demonstrates how he built a RSS reader of his Bluesky profile using Alpine.js. It’s relatively simple to do so, and one of... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 12/28/24, links
Links For You (12/14/24) / / No Comments Good morning folks, as I shared yesterday, this week has been a bit rough as I found out my job was eliminated at Adobe, but the outpouring of support, and links to jobs, has been overwhelming. You people are pretty darn good, you know what? I’m confident I’m going to be able to land a good job, but at the same time, it’s going to be a heck of a lot less stressful once I actually do. On top of that, I’ve got a head cold, which is annoying af as the kids say, but, I’m alive, surrounded by people who love me, well fed and warm, so all things considered, I’m pretty dang lucky. Let’s get to the link. AI in the Browser – A Playlist A month or so ago,... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 12/14/24, links
Links For You (11/30/24) / / No Comments Hello folks – I’m a week or so behind on my schedule for these posts, but the last few weeks have been incredibly hectic. I had 5 or so (I’ve lost track honestly) online presentations and one in-person event at connect.tech, and of course, this week was Thanksgiving. I’m also behind on scheduling for my <Code><Br> show, which I hope to fix up later today. I wish I could look forward to things get less busy, but the next few weeks will be busy as well! I’ve got two upcoming presentations on Gen AI coming up! Ok, enough whining, let me share some links!

Links For You (11/11/2024) / / No Comments The last seven days have been… difficult. I don’t think I need to go into why (even for my non-American readers), but I am doing my best, as are a lot of people, to take things day by day. Honestly, as a white hetero man, I’m not so much worried for myself, but I’m deeply concerned about my family and friends who are LGBTQ+ and other minorities. I don’t talk a lot about my children here as I want to ensure their privacy is maintained, but seven of my kids are adopted and Asian and my usual worry for them has risen quite a bit. Normally, my links here are almost always tech-related, but today I’m going to do something different. The links below are resources... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 11/11/2024, links
Links For You (10/28/2024) / / No Comments This post was meant to go out on the weekend, but I got sucked into video games, baking cookies, and, well, watching the Saints suck. I’ve mentioned this already I think, and I’m pretty sure I talked about it on my stream, but my anxiety which had taken a bit of a back seat for nearly a month has come raging back in. November is going to be kind of a crazy month for me – I’ve got two trips, six presentations total, and a major holiday. I’m also just a teeny bit worried about, oh you know, the entire country going to hell, but for today, today I’m just going to focus on tackling things one by one. And with that… your lnks.

Links For You (10/13/2024) / / No Comments Happy Sunday and Happy Saints Are Winning As I Write this day. Before I get into the links, some administrative. At the bottom of my posts, I’ve got share links. A few days ago I removed the share to Twitter link as I’ve gradually removed myself from that platform. I was on there a few weeks ago desperate for some technical help, but in general, I’m pretty much done with the platform. I’ve added a share to Bluesky (where you can find me as @raymondcamden.com) but unfortunately, it isn’t quite working yet. I followed the directions for ‘Action Intent Links’, but even the example on their docs isn’t working. I’m going to keep the share link... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 10/13/2024, links
Links For You (9/28/24) / / No Comments Hello dear readers. I wish I could say I’ve got a restful weekend in front of me, but today we’re driving to New Orleans to pick up our eldest who has been in Germany for a year, and tomorrow we fly to Las Vegas for the Adobe ColdFusion Summit. Both are things I’m quite happy about, but it’s going to be a lot. I’m currently sitting, drinking coffee, and watching "Grey’s Anatomy", a good guilty-pleasure show. Before we get into the links, a few quick reminders. If you aren’t already a subscriber, use the form below or here to sign up for my mailing list. Right now it’s just tied to my posts and as a subscriber, you’ll get an email... more → Posted in: JavaScript Tagged with: 9/28/24, links
