Ollert – Reveal the Data Behind Your Trello Boards

Introducing Ollert, a tool to show you what your Trello boards can’t tell you on their own. Trello does a great job of telling you about the here and now of your Trello boards; who’s working on what task and what is the current state of a task. But what if I want to know about the state […]

A Template for Lunches

If you want to show anything on your page, you’re going to have to write a template. A template is the html to display on each page view. And if you use resources, they nest! Ember, by default, uses the Handlebars template engine. Lunchtime! It’s a Friday and I want ribs for lunch. But I […]

Using GitLab’s web hooks with Crucible

SwiftyJSON does not boast as illustrious a pedigree as Alamofire, but it greatly […]

A Picture is Worth 1000 Lies

Last week, I wrote about Routing in EmberJS. And I kinda lied a bit. I laid out the Pokédex route like this … App.router.map(function(){ this.route(“pokedex”, {path: ‘/pokedex/:poke_id’}); }); That’s probably the wrong choice, but I made it for Pedagogical reasons. I regret nothing, but we are going to play with the routes of an example […]

Book Review: Scrum Mastery: From Good to Great Servant Leadership

Having recently begun acting as Scrum Master for an 8 developer off-site team with with several hundred active project members, I thought it a wise idea to more formally read up on the traits and aspects that make a Scrum Master great (or even good for that matter).

Why you should probably be using Single() rather than First()

One thing I run into a lot when reviewing C# code that uses LINQ is that we developers tend to gravitate towards using First() rather than Single(), even though that’s almost never what we actually want. Both operate on a collection and return one element from it. Both throw if no element is found. If […]
