Bowst Team
Summer is almost here! The sun is shining, birds are chirping, flowers are blooming, and another issue of On Point is here for your reading enjoyment. Does it get any better? I submit it does NOT.
Anyway, giddy up, y’all. Here we go!
This Week @Bōwst
BeYou. was facilitated by Drew and focused on JavaScript — excellent job, Drew! JS it up.
Drupal Module of the Week … Brought to You by Acquia
This week’s picks are: simpleSAMLphp Authentication, Coffee, and Monolog.
Sketch + Fluid = Responsive Layouts
I know, who’d have thought that by adding Fluid you could create responsive layouts in Sketch! You totally can, and it’s pretty cool.
And While We’re Talking Design …
Want to know the five hot logo trends for 2016? Of course you do. You’re curious like that.
The iPhone 7 is Coming! The iPhone 7 is Coming!
Well, I mean, eventually. All signs point to it going into production soon, however. Upgrade, anyone? (And hey, when you get your new phone? Try not to swallow it, okay? That never ends well.)
What’s Better than an Ultimate Guide to Drupal 8?
Obviously, an Ultimate Guide that has been revised for Drupal 8.1.0. The good folks at Acquia have one. You can (and should) get it here.
There’s Reality, and then There’s MIXED Reality
MagicLeap, a sneaky-Pete secretive startup, is creating mixed reality (or MR) technology; in terms of difficulty? This makes VR look easy. Check out the Wired article (and video) about MagicLeap coolness. The best thing to come from Ft. Lauderdale since 1973.
I … Am … Iron Man! (And So Are You!)
Hyundai wants you to be a super hero. YOU want to be a super hero. Let’s discuss the Avengers Initiative, shall we?
Until you can ACTUALLY be Iron Man, you can be, um, CodeMan or CodeWoman? First steps on the path to greatness, young superhero: Master these three skills. Hey — use your powers for good, all right?
Conscious Recoupling
No, Gwynnie and Chris Martin are not getting back together. This presentation from DrupalCon is about, and I quote, “Bridging Design and Structured Content” — since we didn’t get to NOLA for this, you could always get yourself a choice beverage and enjoy this presentation. I’m just saying.
Garbles Garbles Garbles
No, I haven’t had some sort of episode where I have lost my ability to use words. Garbles is a function that notifies you in the console when React updates unnecessarily. Why re-render if you don’t have to?
New Toys! WOO HOO!
I can hear you wondering: “How’s the new MacBook? Is it awesome? Is it terrible? HOW CAN I FIND OUT WITHOUT SHELLING OUT MY HARD EARNED CASH?” As always, I am here to help. First, take a deep, calming breath. Then read this review. See? It’s all going to be fine.
Here’s a purchase you probably don’t even need to think about, though. Turning wall outlets into USB ports? SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY.
Is There A Way to Break Down Drupal Sites for Incremental Delivery? (And is There a Better Way to Word That?)
Yup. Find it here.
And, Finally…
Not a new video, but still one that will likely make you laugh, which is always the best way to close out On Point. Until next time…
Oh, you’re still here? Then I have a bonus comic for you.
