rdmurphy / aight.events.js
Created April 23, 2014 23:24
Getting pym.js to play along with IE8. Polyfill `addEventListener` for maximum success. I pulled the event polyfill out of aight (https://github.com/shawnbot/aight), minified it, and chucked it into an IE conditional. Happy <iframe>'ing!
(function() {
if (!window.addEventListener) {
(function (WindowPrototype, DocumentPrototype, ElementPrototype, addEventListener, removeEventListener, dispatchEvent, registry) {
WindowPrototype[addEventListener] = DocumentPrototype[addEventListener] = ElementPrototype[addEventListener] = function (type, listener) {
var target = this;
registry.unshift([target, type, listener, function (event) {
event.currentTarget = target;
event.preventDefault = function () { event.returnValue = false; };
event.stopPropagation = function () { event.cancelBubble = true; };

It's really easy to provide a hook into hitting a URL from a Google Spreadsheet. Here's how we do it. Stupid simple Flask app hangs out on Heroku and listens for the URL hit, which prompts the script to do the deed.
import os
from flask import Flask
from prepare_data import prepare_data
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/')

Building things with Tabletop.js and Handlebars.js

Description

Maybe you've used pre-packaged vendor tools to create digital news presentations, but you aren't quite ready to tackle full-stack programming, database management and server setup. Maybe you're hoping reporters will learn how keeping structured data about their beat can benefit the organization. Or maybe you're looking for a tool that help organize/display information when that breaking news event happens.

Enter tabletop.js and handlebars.js, two little JavaScript libraries that play well with one another and make it easy to maintain and deliver data-driven content.

The workshop/panel/interactive/session proposes to:
