Day 4, Another Productive Morning

This morning, I hacked together another bare-bones django app that does the same thing as the evernote one I wrote on Monday, except it integrates with google docs, where most of our existing word studies are. And yes, I created yet another github repo to share the oauth process involved. Another nice thing about free

Django Documentation on Writing a Custom Backend

Edit: Today is a special day, because I forked my first github repo! +1 geek points. https://github.com/leehsueh/django-janrain ——————————- Another nerdy post which may be of some use to a random novice django developer like myself.

Not too long ago I became aware of a micro-framework called Sinatra (yes, as in Frank Sinatra). The original article that I read was promoting it for developing quick and functional prototypes. I was intrigued, and since I had always wanted to start learning Ruby, I decided to give it a shot. All the troubles

Free Wireframing and Mockup Tools Impressions

I’ve tried a couple of wireframing apps that are free (or have a free option) and are web-based. I don’t have a set criteria so all of these impressions are pretty subjective and not that in depth. One feature that I really would like, though it may not be that practical/useful, is to have vectorized
