Learning “nools” Rules Engine

Learning “nools” Rules Engine

By Adron Hall on September 23, 2014

Recently I sat down to work up a solution around a rules engine. There were a few things I noticed right off. When there is a request to implement or build a rules engine it is very often (I’m guessing a solid 40-60% of the time) reasoned that there is a need solely based on […]

Getting Started with Swift, For NON-Apple Devs

Getting Started with Swift, For NON-Apple Devs

By Adron Hall on June 26, 2014

This past weekend I attempted to get started with Swift coding. Since I have not been an Apple Developer for a while, it wasn’t immediately obvious how to get started. But once I fumbled around a few minutes I realized I needed a developer account to get the latest XCode. Jeez, it really shows how […]

Wintersmith Documentation

Wintersmith Documentation

By Adron Hall on February 19, 2014

I set out a few days ago to put together a documentation site. I had a few criteria for this site: A static site that I could push to Github to use with their github pages feature. The static site is generated from markdown. It just works. It’s easy to get it into a workflow […]

History of Symphonize.js – JavaScript Client Pivot to Data Generation Library

History of Symphonize.js – JavaScript Client Pivot to Data Generation Library

By Adron Hall on February 3, 2014

…the history of symphonize.js So Far! NOTE: If you just want to check out the code bits, scroll down to the sub-title #symphonize #hacking. Also important to note I’m putting the library through a fairly big refactor at the moment so that everything aligns with the documentation that I’ve recently created. So many things may not […]

Learning About Docker

Learning About Docker

By Adron Hall on November 20, 2013

Over the next dozen or so few days I’ll be ramping up on Docker, where my gaps are and where the project itself is going. I’ve been using it on and off and will have more technical content, but today I wanted to write a short piece about what, where, who and how Docker came […]

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

Lenovo X1 Carbon Touch :: Opening, Setup and Failure

By Adron Hall on July 5, 2013

Yesterday I received my X1 Carbon Touch from Amazon. First part of this whole adventure is that I sent it to my old address in one part of town so that led to a little sleuth action to track it down. After a short bike ride up the street I arrived and the office staff …

Big thanks out to Dr Nic @drnic, Luke Bakken & Brain McClain @brianmmcclain for initial pointers to where the good content is. With their guidance […]

Distributed Coding Prefunc: Chicago Boss, Rails Based Erlang Power

By Adron Hall on March 25, 2013

Troy Howard and I sat down on a Friday night to do some straight up thrashing of Erlang and Chicago Boss. It seemed like a framework that has a lot of promise. Thus, we wanted to hack at it a bit and see what we could come up with. First things first, I running OS-X […]

Getting Github : JavaScript Libraries Spilled EVERYWHERE! Series #003

Getting Github : JavaScript Libraries Spilled EVERYWHERE! Series #003

By Adron Hall on March 18, 2013

This how-to is going to kind of go all over the place. My goal is to get github data. The question however is, how and with what. I knew there were some available libraries, so writing straight and pulling straight off of the API myself seemed like it would be unnecessary work. The github API […]

Here’s a break down of some entries I found really interesting and helpful in getting kick started here at Basho (or just really a good read in and of itself): Using Open Source to […]

The #TypeScript Bomb Went off With a BANG Today!

The #TypeScript Bomb Went off With a BANG Today!

By Adron Hall on October 2, 2012

First thing in the morning today the east coast was talking about Mary Jo Foley’s article about the TypeScript release. Later in the day Matt Baxter-Reynolds released a bit of write up titled “Microsoft TypeScript: Can the father of C# save us from the tyranny of JavaScript?“. My first reactions went something like this: TypeScript sounds interesting. […]

Setting Up Github for Windows for Powershell CLI Users

Setting Up Github for Windows for Powershell CLI Users

By Adron Hall on September 26, 2012

Recently I installed the Github for Windows App. It’s a great app, however, I’d rather not use it for the day to day interactions I have with Git. I have a lot of branching, forking and merging to do that just doesn’t happen to well with the app. It’s a great app, but overall I’m […]

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Metro App Building on Windows 8 Part 1

HTML, CSS, JavaScript and Metro App Building on Windows 8 Part 1

By Adron Hall on August 20, 2012

I’m a fan of JavaScript and I’m warming to some of the Metro interfaces on Windows 8. I’ve always found the Windows 7 Phone UI, which is the first iteration of the Metro UI, to be a very slick phone interface. So with this blog entry I’m going to lay out setting up a default […]
