Orbited Drawing Example

David Nolen — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 21:59:31 +0000

Extremely simple, it actually only works well under Safari at the moment. Packaging drawings in “frames” could be one way to improve performance. You’ll need to at least get the orbited 0.7 tutorial working on your local machine. Once you do running this should be a cinch. Let me know of any troubles you all have getting it working.

Comet & Orbited

David Nolen — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 21:04:35 +0000

For those of you working on projects that would benefit from bidirectional communication you should check out Orbited which I will go over tomorrow. You can find information about it here. The latest version is actually 0.7 which can be downloaded from here.

GitHub contrib, SSUnit

Not sure if any of you do unit testing, but I developed one that uses MooTools and posted it on GitHub, here.

Preventing console.log from breaking browsers

David Nolen — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 20:40:42 +0000

If you don’t want console.log or other console statements to break browsers that don’t support them you need to include this piece of Javascript before anything else:

if(!console)
{
  var console = {
    log: function() {},
    error: function() {},
    warning: function() {}
  };
}

A few map utilities

lehrburger — Thu, 16 Oct 2008 06:38:20 +0000

I think at least a couple of these came up in class, but I’ve had the tabs open for too long and can’t remember:

http://www.mapufacture.com/ – “provides dynamic, customizable geographic information and collaborative mapping”
http://www.mapstraction.com/ – “a library that provides a common API for various javascript mapping APIs to enable switching from one to another as smoothly as possible”
http://maker.geocommons.com/ – “gives you the power to make stunning interactive maps with your own data, GeoCommons public data or both”
http://freeearth.poly9.com/ – an API for a fancy 3d spinning globe (the one used for http://twittervision.com/maps/show_3d)
