Some Geolocation and Google Mapping services in AngularJS

user · November 5, 2013

I’ve been having some fun with maps lately. It’s been a little more involved than popping a marker on a map and showing a user where they are in a static way. Instead – I need to do a fair bit of geo-math, animate a marker, and more. I picked AngularJS as my weapon of …

It’s the Open Sourced SharkAttack, yeah!

user · October 14, 2013

I’ve been working on my project called “SharkAttack” for awhile. It started out as a simple little Adobe AIR app to download new music from RSS feeds. Soon after, I rewrote the whole thing as a service with Node.js. And then, just lately I rewrote some of THAT to use Grunt.js. Anyway, the aim of …

A Supervisor for Node.js

user · September 30, 2013

So, I’m writing this blog post because, despite how simple a concept the “Supervisor” is – I feel like I could have easily missed this super handy tool. In fact, I might go so far as to say that if I hadn’t had co-workers push the Python supervisor on me – I would have had …

Fun with Geolocation and the FourSquare API

user · August 8, 2013

I’m on a race to get some blogging done before my lovely wife and I embark on a weeklong car trip to move to California. Sure I can do some on the road, but I definitely want some screenshots for this post, so here I go! I’m been mixed up with 3D sensing all year …

Interaction Zones and the Leap Motion

user · August 7, 2013

I finally got myself a Leap Motion! It came in the mail around last week and I promptly plugged it in to play around. Prior to getting it in the mail, I read some great reviews of the hardware, but many frustrations around interaction. After using it, I definitely agree, but I can also elaborate… …

Ideas from Flex: Visual Application States in AngularJS

user · July 22, 2013

Macrodopache Flex. That’s what I’ll call it – because during it’s different incarnations it was managed by Macromedia, then Adobe, and now Apache. This brief intro is for all the Flash haters out there. Flex is a “Rich Internet Application” framework built on top of Flash. That’s fancy talk saying it was Flash for banks …

Back from JSConf

user · June 2, 2013

Oh good, someone already posted the “dripping with love” review of JSConf and organizers Chris and Laura Williams: http://adambrault.com/post/52004360603/just-a-person I’m so glad that’s out of the way because I really didn’t want to do it. It’s not that JSConf wasn’t crazy good (it was), and it wasn’t that Chris and Laura didn’t go completely over …

My first Node.js plugin for 3D motion sensing

user · May 6, 2013

Well that’s a little bit of an awkward title – its not ONLY my first Node.js plugin I’ve released on NPM but it ALSO does 3D motion sensing! So brand new on both counts – I’m no Node.js plugin/addon veteran by any means! You can grab my NuiMotion project version 0.1 on NPM and Github. You can read why …

Drag and Drop with AngularJS and jQuery UI

user · March 30, 2013

I actually haven’t used jQuery UI much, and been just tooling around with AngularJS. That’s why when a recent project came up at work which had the typical ASAP schedule, I thought: “Let’s put AngularJS to work!” Also, the application I was building was an internal tool, so it could be a little rough around …

Angular + Backbone + Dojo: A Fundown

user · March 21, 2013

I’m trying to avoid internet negativity at all costs lately. It’s so passe. But I was having such a rockin time working with AngularJS today, I just had to tweet that it was my absolute flavor of the moment. Right after I did that, though, I had a reality check…will this turn into one of …
