Adobe Brackets
I have been experimenting with the open source Adobe Brackets tool for some time. Although it is not yet “ready for prime time,” it is a tool which has some useful features. If you are looking for a lightweight HTML, CSS, JS editor (written in HTML, CSS, and JS), this […]

Ok, I admit it, I love technology. Can’t wait to get my hands on the latest stuff. This is a large part of the reason I bought a Mac a short while ago. My
Read MoreIllinois Web Design Contest
The 2012 state wide web design contest for Illinois was held at the Capital Area Career Center in Springfield on April 27. I would have posted these images sooner, but for the eye problems encountered shortly after the contest (see Life Happens post). Now that I have limited vision, I […]
Read MoreLife happens
For those paying attention to my Twitter feed as well as students in my classes, it appears that I dropped off the face of the earth a couple of weeks ago. Although I am still a long way from fully recovered, I wanted to share my experiences and insights over […]
Read MoreDisable Shutdown Event Tracker
Periodically, students in my networking classes ask about disabling the shutdown event tracker in Windows Server 2008. I thought this short video might be helpful. Note: this video is included as HTML5 (I have tested in IE 9, FireFox, Chrome, Safari, and Opera).
Read MoreBook Review – Compiler Design
I was recently notified that a book review of mine has been published in the March, 2012 issue of CHOICE. Since many may not have direct access to my review, I thought I would include a copy in my weblog. Mogensen, Torben Aegidius. Introduction to compiler design. Springer, 2011. 204p […]
Read MoreVisual Studio 11 – first look
I recently installed Microsoft’s Visual Studio 11 Professional Beta. My initial focus on this release is from a web development perspective. I installed this version in a Windows 7 64-bit virtual environment (and another copy in a Windows 8 Community Preview). Based on my initial comparisons, the product looks and […]
Read MoreAdobe Shadow – First Look
Today, Adobe released a new technology on their labs site called Shadow. This tool should be of significant help for those developing web pages which will be viewed on mobile devices (a.k.a everyone). This technology allows one to synchronize a web page across multiple devices, examine the page on the […]
Read MoreUsing Twitter to Engage Students
Brandy Thatcher and I gave a webinar on “Using Twitter to Engage Students” at the Growing Online Learning conference on Feb. 23, 2012. This was done in Elluminate/ Blackboard Collaborate. I have confirmed that the recording is now active and working. Recording of our webinar Copy of slides Since Elluminate […]
Read MoreWordPress Security
Over the course of the past few weeks, I have watched a number of attempted attacks on some of my WordPress sites. Knowing that WordPress powers over 20% of new active websites in the U.S., I thought it appropriate to put together this post on adding some security. As a […]
Read MoreWeb Based IDEs
Due to some last minute scheduling issues this semester, I almost had to have an open lab in a room with no removable hard drives and the computers locked down to the point where nothing could be installed. Yep, this would make teaching advanced web technologies a bit dicey. As […]
Read MoreWhat is a Web Professional
We are about to start the Spring, 2012 semester where I teach. Our college [Illinois Central College] has been recognized as a Web Professional Academy since 2006 (when the Web Professional Program began). Before we start the semester, I though I would reflect on what it means to me to […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch Apps – desired improvements
As I begin this post, I must stress that I am incredibly impressed with the initial versions of Adobe Touch apps on the Android Market. I have obtained Proto, Photoshop Touch, Ideas, Kuler, and Debut. I make the assumption that these apps will be updated at some point in the […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Ideas Overview
Another Adobe Touch App I have been experimenting with on my Samsung Galaxy Tab is Ideas. This is mostly an app to allow one to sketch/ draw using a tablet. One can either draw using a blank canvas or one can import a photo and add a new drawing layer […]
Read MoreAdobe Touch App – Kuler overview
The next Adobe Touch App I wanted to review is kuler. This app is similar to the features you can experience on the WWW at http://kuler.adobe.com. The big advantage to using the Touch app on a tablet is the ability to work offline. For comparison purposes, I provide a screen […]
