Here's a collection of nifty shortcuts and tricks you can do when you're working with Photoshop and the web. I picked up at work while working with our designer, who's exceptionally skilled at graphic design. He's putting together some of the most amazing looking skins our products will ever get to bare. If you want some examples of his work just take a look at some of the screenshots from the Jobvite Share project.

I'm a mac user and one of the most annoying things for me in terminal is trying to move the cursor from the beginning, end or anywhere in the middle. I did a bit of googling and found a helpful stack overflow article giving some useful information. While I was implementing a hack suggested by one of the comments, I ended up adding my own tweaks.

First, open Preferences > Settings > Keyboard in terminal.

Second, I recommend checking off the "Use option as meta key" if you never use weird characters.

Now go ahead and add the following commands:

• Cursor Left, Option, \033b [press ESC+b]: Move left word at a time
• Cursor Right, Option, \033b [press ESC+f]: Move right word at a time (I use option because CTRL+Arrows changes spaces for me)
• Cursor Left, Shift, \001 [press ctrl+a]: Move to beginning of line (I use shift because highlighting doesn't work)
• Cursor Right, Shift, \005 [press ctrl+e]: Move to end of line

Also, you should try hitting CTRL+R and start typing characters of a previous command you set. I think you hit TAB to confirm the selection. Good way to move to the middle of a command.

So I've been comparing a LOT of different javascript frameworks for my company's rewrite, and finally settled on AngularJs because of how rapidly I'd be able to produce prototypes. In my opinion, although it's very alpha and fairly lacking on the graphical side, it's excellent for CRUD applications (meaning forms, tables and reports). I'm still trying to lean towards emphasizing reusable widgets and directives instead of just custom-coding everything for your own app. If you are still trying to decide on a framework, take a look at TodoMVC, an excellent unbaised comparison.

I'll keep updating this post, so check back often!

So I was rooting around the apple website trying to figure out how to fix the bluetooth choppyness on my laptop my company bought for me for my headphones. I had tried using it on my personal laptop which has OSX Lion and it plays beautifully, so I figured maybe I should upgrade this one as well. While clicking around the Apple.com website I came across their up-to-date program.

The program claims to only be available to people who purchased laptops later than July. Lucky me, I started working in August and I know that my company buys laptops practically the day before someone new comes in. This may or may not work for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to try.

Since working at Jobvite on our new facebook platform, I've been dealing a LOT with client-side apps. Unfortunately we weren't smart enough to start using something like Sproutcore or Backbone, but I'm working to amend that at the moment.

One of the things I've developed for the team is a special Factory class geared specifically to handling our unique structure. In our app there are quite a few components that must load before certain bodies of code can execute, and this creates a long load time:

• Dom Ready (obviously) when the html page is finished loading
• $.load() - We actually use this for client-side includes, and there are a LOT of em
• Facebook App API
• Facebook App Authentication (and installation)
• Internal Role Permissions
