Highcharts tracker now don't prevent default behavior (like scrolling on touch devices).
Highcharts.Chart.prototype.callbacks.push(function(chart) {
var hasTouch = hasTouch = document.documentElement.ontouchstart !== undefined,
mouseTracker = chart.tracker,
container = chart.container,
mouseMove;
mouseMove = function (e) {
// let the system handle multitouch operations like two finger scroll
// and pinching
if (e && e.touches && e.touches.length > 1) {

Code School Screencasting Framework

Screencasting Framework

The following document is a written account of the Code School screencasting framework. It should be used as a reference of the accompanying screencast on the topic.

Why you should care about screencasting?

You're probably aren't going to take the time to read this document if you're not interested, but there are a lot of nice side effects caused by learning how to create quality screencasts.

  1. Communicating more effectively - At Envy Labs we produce screencasts for our clients all the time. Whether it's demoing a new feature or for a presentation for an invester, they're often much more effective and pleasent than a phone call or screen sharing.

Semantic helpers for responsive website implementations using bootstrap-sass. Specifically adds responsive replacements for the makeRow() and makeColumn() mixins included in Twitter Bootstrap.
@mixin row() {
margin-left: $gridGutterWidth * -1;
@media (max-width: 767px) { margin-left: 0; }
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px) { margin-left: $gridGutterWidth768 * -1; }
@media (min-width: 1200px) { margin-left: $gridGutterWidth1200 * -1; }
@include clearfix();
}
@mixin column($columns: 1, $offset: 0) {

Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style
