It’s easy for your dock to become cluttered with applications (E.g. Text editors, the Adobe suite, your Mac applications). It is possible to organize your applications into a single folder on the dock for easy access.
In this video, we’ll walk through how to properly make folder stacks for your dock.
An introduction to binary and hexadecimal numbers. In this video, we will learn how to better understand binary and hexadecimal numbers. First, we will go over the base-10 system that we use on a daily basis. Once we grasp how a base-10 system is calculated, it will be much easier for us to understand how binary, hexadecimal, base-8, or any other base-n number is calculated.
In this video, we’ll do a quick walkthrough on setting up a development environment using Sublime Text 3.
The packages installed in this video are:
When I first started developing WordPress sites, I found myself constantly adding dummy data so I could get an idea for how specific elements would look with my theme. Manually adding dummy data was not only slow, but it was also easy to leave out a lot of different test cases.
In this video, I’m going to show you a great way to add sample data to your WordPress site with Theme Unit Test and the Monster Widget plugin.
The Theme Unit Test data and Monster Widget plugin are two great ways to see how your theme visually handles a variety of content. Let’s check em out:
Imsanity is my favorite WordPress Plugin for keeping large image sizes under control.
It seems like every modern camera and cellphone can take amazing pictures. But those large images can take up a lot of unneeded space on your server. Not to mention it will slow your pages to a crawl if you try to load multiple images that are thousands of pixels wide.
Imsanity fixes this problem by allowing us to set a maximum image size. Then every time an image is uploaded, the file is resized for us, saving us both time and space. We just set it and forget it. Simple as that.
In this video, I’ll show you how to get Imsanity installed and running on your WordPress site. Let’s get started:
I am frequently taking screenshots of what I am doing on screen. It’s useful to know all the options you have in order to make this quick and simple. In this video, I’ll go over the different ways in which you can take some basic screen shots on your Mac, and look a few advanced techniques as well.
screencapture -C -T 5 ~/Desktop/ss.pngdefaults write com.apple.screencapture location ~/Desktop/Screenshots/
killall SystemUIServer
This is the second part of a multi-part series on using the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. In this walkthrough, we will take a look at some of the ESRI starting templates for our web map.
Starting templates are very useful because it gives us a solid foundation to begin coding our application. It allows us to jump right in and start adding functionality to our maps instead of spending hours of work creating custom styles, menus, and navigation bars. CSS frameworks, such as Bootstrap, also include best practices for responsive web-design right out of the box. This makes it much easier for us to style our application to look great on desktop, tablet, or mobile devices. Let’s get started:

In this quick tip, we’re going to look at how to create aliases for common terminal commands. If you find yourself typing in the same commands over and over, then it is a good indication that you should write an alias for that. For example, I used to frequently switch to my website’s local theme directory using the command:
cd ~/vagrant-local/www/CoreyMS/htdocs/wp-content/themes/simone-coreymsThat’s a pain to type time and time again! In this video, I’ll show you how you can set up your terminal so that you can create shortcuts for these frequent commands. Then you can create aliases that are unique to you and your workflow. Let’s get started:
I work on both Windows and Mac machines. I am a huge fan of developing on my Mac, BUT I do find myself missing certain features from Windows. Mainly the windows snapping feature, and the ability to quickly preview open applications on the taskbar/dock.
Luckily, there is an app that brings my favorite Windows features over to Mac. It’s called HyperDock. In this video, I’ll give a quick overview of the features and why it is one of my favorite applications on my Mac. Let’s check it out:
This will be the first part of a multi-part series on how to use the ArcGIS API for JavaScript. In this video, we will start by setting up a basic web map with HTML, JavaScript, and CSS. Unlike the samples on the ArcGIS website, we will separate out our scripts and stylesheets so that our application will be easier to maintain as it grows. Let’s get started:
