I built this tutorial to serve as a guide to creating a hybrid mobile application combining both native iOS controls and Cordova/PhoneGap components to leverage the best of both worlds as an alternative to picking one over the other. Developers may choose to do this if they want to use specific native UI features but still code the bulk of their business logic in JavaScript or reuse existing JavaScript logic by embedding it as a Cordova component while maintaining the rest of the native scaffolding. There are also benefits to using this approach in making an application feel more native.

Participants in each one hour workshop will have the opportunity to build their own field journal from start to finish.

Print your own cover on our antique press, then fold and assemble the interior pages with a saddle stitch staple, and finally trim the book and round the corners for a soft-cover journal to record all of your observations, ideas, and sketches about the world around you.

Limited to 10 participants in each time slot. Family friendly.

Four sessions, starting at 11am, 12:30pm, 2pm, and 3:30pm

Cost: $20, register online in advance

We run through the 11 steps of logo design, giving tips and tricks on how best to harness these themes in logos.

JavaScript is special, and it plays a critical role in almost every large application. What is it about JavaScript that makes it meaningfully different from other languages?
Here are some questions that will help you explore the stuff that really matters:

Changing en passant

/usr/man/man3/foo.1 changes to /usr/man/cat3/foo.1

($catpage  = $manpage)  =~ s/man(?=\d)/cat/;

Use foreach() Loops
@bindirs = qw( /usr/bin /bin /usr/local/bin );
for (@libdirs = @bindirs) { s/bin/lib/ }

Use Hashes of Records, not Parallel Arrays
for $his ($people{"Jason"}) {
$his->{AGE} = 23;
$his->{DAD} = "Herbert";
}

Big companies understand the importance of brands. Today, in the Age of the Individual, you have to be your own brand. Here’s what it takes to be the CEO of Me Inc.

“What Will I Remember This Day For?”
A while ago, my partner started an interesting journaling practice.
He took up a few pages on his notebook and filled each with a few three-by-three squares. At the end of every day, he fills one square with a few initials and numbers. They all have meaning; they represent moments or important pieces of information related to his day.

Google's Machine Learning Crash Course has already been delivered to more than 18,000 Googlers and now it it have been made available for free and to all as part of Learn with Google AI, a new educational resource aimed at every developer.

Which Hands Should Be RFI?
As previously mentioned, hand selection and range construction are the first key components to developing a strong RFI strategy. Given that folding yields an expected value (EV) of zero, you want to choose to raise with hands which will have a positive EV.

Below is a chart outlining the RFI ranges for a 6-max table (taken from our free preflop charts), assuming effective stack sizes are 100 big blinds:

Reflect on what you learn by writing

Apart from becoming a better writer, blogging can help you organise your thoughts.

Blogging encourages deep thinking.

When you begin to share what you know with others, your ability to communicate gets better.

Blogging helps your brain to stay active.

You will also be able to link ideas and pieces of information better.

Show, don’t tell. That’s what every beginning writer is told. But how is this achieved? And what does it look like when it comes to setting?

In terms of show, don’t tell, there are two broad strategies to think about. When used together they are brilliant tools to really paint a picture in your reader’s mind. The first is to use figurative language (but more on this in another post). The second is to use sensory language — to draw upon the five senses to describe the setting.

Let’s take a look at one of the more underutilised senses: touch.

For nerds who have read my article on visual weight and optical alignment. Minimum words, maximum GIFs.

You’ve seen some of the beautiful bullet journals on Pinterest, and there’s more to this trend than an exercise in creativity. Using a bullet journal can make you a master of the website universe. And it all starts with a pen and paper.

In understanding how to write technical instructions, it’s best to understand how people read them. Most readers will want to know: (1) what you’re doing, and whether it’s relevant to what they are trying to do; and (2) how you did it.

This suggests a simple strategy: first, write about what you’re doing and why, and then, explain how to do it. If you leave out the why, or make it hard to find, your reader will have to closely examine your explanation to understand whether your technique is relevant to them at all. If you leave out the how or make it hard to find, your reader will struggle to replicate your efforts.

1. Font hierarchy is just not about small to big font sizes. It is about the right mix of size, weights, and colors that creates contrast. Bigger contrast, the better
2. Do the math for understanding colors
3. Multiply instead of Drop shadow text
