Stripes, Groovy and Gradle All-in-One

By Cody

The Stripes Framework is far superior to the other Java web frameworks available, especially when it comes to quick, lightweight web sites. In an effort to make developing with Stripes even easier, the Gripes Project combines Stripes with the power of Groovy.   To  make it even easier, Gripes uses the build tool Gradle to handle all application dependencies, builds, tests, and deployments.

The main goal of Gripes is allow the creation of a Stripes application in under 5 minutes.  As of version 0.1.5, this is entirely possible.

Be sure to check out the Gripes Project on GitHub.

CMWysi. A jQuery WYSIWYG

By Cody

Over the past months I have been exploring a new project. I have experienced first-hand the pains of using third-party applications within my web applications and the problems that can ensue. With the continual need for users to have control over their content, it is important for the WYSIWYG editors included in applications not to hinder this ability.

With this, I have been developing a pure JavaScript WYSIWYG editor using the jQuery Library as the driving force. I had a few main goals:

  1. Easily extended
  2. Unobtrusive
  3. Easily include multiple instances

In the end, the project will be available on Bitbucket for open collaboration and released under open source license.
