First Principles

Posted on February 1st, 2007 by Jeff

Whenever I learn a new programming language, toolkit, or paradigm one of my first thoughts is “how do I debug it?” — that usually follows right after “Hey, that’s cool!” The same holds true for OpenLaszlo and lucky for us there are some nice features built in. The documentation is buried down in Chapter 45 of the Developer’s Guide.

There’s a quick guide here.

    Stretchy Designs
    If you’re afraid of using em-based layouts, or just haven’t got around to using them in your designs, head on over to Jon Tan’s blog and read his great article, The Incredible Em & Elastic Layouts with CSS . He does a great job of demonstrating how easy it is to create an elastic layout in terms even engineers can understand. (1)

    What's a Snow Flake?
    There are times when I want to make  a quick point without having to write an essay on the topic. Apparently there’s a whole meme of a blog within a blog, aka a sideblog or “asides”. I found a nice plugin that lets me do the same thing. I needed a name for this feature and since it’s just a little piece of Snowmoon Software, that “Snow Flake” would be a good name. Like it?
