| 1 | VideoCreating a Bookmarklet with Remote JavaScript Code | In our previous screencast in the bookmarklet series we showed you how to create a simple bookmarklet where all the code was contained wholly within the bookmarklet. In this screencast we’re going to show you how to include source code from a JavaScript file stored on a remote server. Created by JOSH TIMONEN and ANDREW CHALKLEY. | 1 8 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 2 | VideoCreating a Simple Bookmarklet | In this quick screencast we'll show you what a bookmarklet is, and you how'd to create one. A bookmarklet is a link in your browser bookmarks, and doesn't take you off the current page, but executes some JavaScript code that performs a particular task. Today we're going to create a bookmarklet to resize a browser window to a 1280 by 720 pixel resolution. | 4 7 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 3 | VideoIntroduction to CoffeeScript | With the adoption of CoffeeScript by the Node.js community, the JavaScript community in general, and with CoffeeScript's inclusion in the upcoming Rails 3.1 release, it's probably a good idea to see what all the fuss is about. In this free CoffeeScript screencast we'll cover all the basics and some neat features that will make the writing of complex JavaScript a thing of the past.

| 4 | VideoCreating iPad Apps with JavaScript using Titanium | In a follow up to our popular Building iPhone Apps with JavaScript using Titanium screencast we show you how to create an iPad app without learning a line of Objective-C! Given the screen real estate of the iPad we just don't want a blown up clone of the iPhone app. We want to take full advantage of the screen real estate and the specific UI elements that the iPad has to offer. | 16 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 5 | VideoHow to Use RVM | In our Ruby developer career there may come a time when we have to deploy our app with other implementations of Ruby. We may also take a fancy to implementations like MacRuby, and want to try them out. However, installing many different versions of Ruby, for testing or purely recreational reasons, can be a real headache. Even when we're not dealing with different implementations and versions of Ruby, there can be headaches when you have conflicts with gems from one project clashing with gems from another. This becomes more apparent when you have Rails 2 projects and new Rails 3 projects in active development, and use gems that are only compatible with Rails 2 or 3. Enter RVM, the creation of Wayne E. Seguin. RVM stands for Ruby Version Manager. It's a command line tool that takes away the headaches of installing and managing Ruby versions, and implementation and their gems.

| 6 | VideoHow to Use Homebrew | In our development career we may be required to install additional software to our system, to aide us in the development process, or perhaps to mirror production as closely as possible, to iron out any kinks before deployment. | 5 4 11 | Free | View In iTunes |
| 7 | VideoConfiguring ActiveRecord in Sinatra | In a previous episode, Using ActiveRecord with Sinatra, we showed you how to use ActiveRecord and Sinatra, and built a URL shortener.

We'll be using Appcelerator's Titanium Mobile to show you how.CREDITS: ANDREW CHALKLEY & JOSH TIMONENhttp://screencasts.org/episodes/iphone-app-javascript-using-titanium | 26 3 11 | Free | View In iTunes |

| 17 | VideoCSS3 in Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 | With HTML5 and CSS3 on the rise, we’d like to use it more frequently in our projects. Just a few lines of CSS3 can now take the place of background images, sprites, and complex div structures which aren’t semantic. Unfortunately, Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 6, 7 and 8 do not have the new CSS3 standards out-of-the-box, which has prevented some people from adopting the new CSS level 3 rules. In this screencast we’ll show you how you can start taking advantage of 3 of the new rules, in ALL browsers, including IE 6 through 8.

| 18 | VideoIntroduction to Haml | Haml is the brain child of Hampton Catlin. In this screencast we’re going to show how Haml can simplify your markup and speed up front-end development. As developers we naturally gravitate towards products or languages that help keep our work clean and organized. Haml is just one of those things. Watch this screencast to see why!

| 19 | VideoGraceful Degradation with jQuery & Rails 3 | Throughout your web development career you may be required to develop sites that can function when JavaScript is switched off. This may be required because of security or accessibility policies, or perhaps just plain old ideology. Graceful Degradation is a term used to describe designing websites so that they still function as well as possible in older browsers, or browsers with less functionality. In this video tutorial we’ll look at how to “gracefully degrade” the behavior of our Rails 3 app that uses jQuery, when it encounters an environment that has JavaScript switched off.
