PDF's won! The battle is over and they're the default digital document for our modern computing age - although ODF may try to disagree.* Of course, if you need to send someone a digital document, you obviously have a number of options. You can point them to a web page - most people have access to a web browser. You can send them a Microsoft Word document and hope they have something to open it - Google Apps is free. You can always send plain text or an RTF document - they're pretty universal.

Clean Reading Code

Attachment Size CleanReadingCode.zip 284.37 KB By Matt Petrowsky The ability to read code is similar to being able to read a foreign language. The greater your vocabulary in terms of structuring sentences, the more expressive the result. When opening your own scripts just a few months later, if you can make quick sense of what the script does, then you've accomplished the ideal of clean reading code.

Charting Anywhere

One of the more valuable things you can add to your data is some sort of visualization. At its most basic level, this is primarily a chart or graph which speaks about the state of your data. Visualizations have been a hot topic in recent years because it's become so easy to access larger data sets. Spending even just a small amount of time on http://visualizing.org or http://www.informationisbeautiful.net makes your everyday UI designer salivate at all the pretty pictures which can provide insi

Developer Debugging Tricks

Spending a lot of time, within any environment, slowly provides the nuances of that trade. Many of which you simply can't know when first getting started. It's not just one tip or trick which makes you great. It's the 'bag of tricks' which make you good - and fast. In this video, I go over a few of my Developer Debugging Tricks.
