Dynamic Favicons using HTML5 Local Storage and TinyCon(deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachino(705) 2 days, 3 hours ago

I was perusing Github the other day and I came across this awesome little JavaScript library. It's called TinyCon and it's a small library for manipulating the favicon in your browser. It adds alert bubbles and changing images pretty similar to the way Gmail does. It's basically a really fun little library that allows you to add a notification bubble to your favicons. I started to play around with the code provided on Github and got up and running in no time. read more...

Basic Raven DB Indexing and Querying with Lucene(unstructuredthinking.blogspot.com.au)

submitted by guffshemr(173) 4 days, 1 hour ago

We've got up and running with Raven DB for our new project, which has been a delight to use from a code perspective, but one of the big gaps for me is figuring out how to do SQL like queries. I'm not too bad at putting a SQL query together as something I do semi-regularly as part of my job, so I thought it shouldn't be too much of a stretch to start pulling some statistics. I was wrong. read more...

Regular Expressions in CoffeeScript are Awesome!(www.elijahmanor.com)

submitted by elijahmanor(1353) 3 days, 22 hours ago

Let's face it, regular expressions aren't for everyone. It takes a special breed of developer to actually enjoy writing regular expressions. Although I enjoy them, the developer that comes after me may find that they are cryptic and hard to read ... One of the very cool things I like about CoffeeScript is that you can annotate your regular expressions! read more...

Running your TeamCity builds from PowerShell for any Git branch(www.laurentkempe.com)

submitted by laurentkempe(307) 5 days, 18 hours ago

I love TeamCity and use it since a while to automate my build/release processes. As human we should never do the work a machine can do, we have certainly better and more interesting things to do. The habit I saw in the different projects I worked for is to create new TeamCity builds for the branches you work on. It take quite some work to do, even with templates… So I came with another way of doing it. It is leverage Git, PowerShell and the possibility to run TeamCity builds by “Accessing Server by HTTP” read more...
