The OpenSocial Explorer: An Open Source Project For Developers Mon, Apr 1st 2013 6:14p Ryan- Baxter Today the OpenSocial Foundation released the OpenSocial Explorer, a new open source project meant to help developers learn how to build OpenSocial gadgets. One of the biggest challenges any developer faces when trying to learn how to build an OpenSocial gadget is how to get started and use all the features provided by the specification. In theory it seems very easy to get started building an OpenSocial gadget, but as any developer knows, it doesn't matter how easy a platform is to understan [read] Keywords: gadget javascript twitter widgets

Using Jasmine To Unit Test Your JavaScript Tue, Mar 26th 2013 8:15p Ryan- Baxter Lately I have been writing quite a few Dojo AMD modules for a project I am working on. These modules include Dojo widgets and API level code. Being a good developer I wanted to make sure I could test the code I was writing. I had worked with other JavaScrupt unit testing frameworks in the past and had been frustrated by them because there was no real good "framework" built around them. You could do the basics that you would expect, like running some setup and cleanup code but there wa [read] Keywords: development dojo javascript server twitter widgets

Post MWLUG Sat, Aug 18th 2012 10:11a Ryan- Baxter I had a great time at MWLUG. LUGs are a different beast than Lotusphere, because they are so much smaller there is much more interaction which is great! I also got to attend other sessions, which was personally really enlightening. Listening to consumers of the (mostly) great products we (IBM) produce give me as an IBMer a completely different perspective on things. Personally I learned that maybe my sessions are a little to technical for most people This is why XPages is soooo successf [read] Keywords: ibm lotusphere xpages development gadget javascript twitter widgets
