Visual Studio Code

I like to test various code editors and currently I'm using Visual Studio Code from Microsoft (yes, it's open source editor from MS running on Linux :)). I'm using it mainly for developing add-ons for Mozilla Firefox (HTML+JavaScript+CSS) and PHP projects and I'm pretty impressed.

For example here is a screenshot when I was editing JavaScript code where I made a mistake that I pushed new items into bad array (see highlighed parts of code below and you will understand):

The error shown is really usefull...

IDE hidden in Firefox nightly

Today I read interesting article on the Mozilla Hacks blog about new WebIDE and I have to say that on my low-cost netbook is this the first IDE targeted on mobile system that actually works and is usable on slower machines (including emulator of course).

I must say that while Firefox maybe have not market-share as some time ago but still it is the perfect solution for the professionals.

Today I found screenshots of design proposals for Firefox OS 2.0. I must say that I like it a lot - especially the calendar screen:

I think the time to throw all iPhones etc. will be here soon :) . You can see more screenshots here (original post by Sören Hentzschel).

Time tracking utility - doTimeTracker CLI 0.2

Today I made visible my BitBucket repository with odTimeTracker CLI. It's a Linux command line utility for tracking time that you spent working on various tasks. Is written in Vala and is a part of bigger solution for dealing with common office tasks for the freelancers as am I. I will explain this a little bit more very soon.

There are some screenshots:

OpenShift from RedHat

I don't know if you are aware of OpenShift from RedHat - but if you don't try it. It is really good place for trying technologies or developing new projects. For free you get three slots for applications that you can use various technologies such as:

• JBoss Application Server 7 or JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 6
• Tomcat 6/7
• PHP with Zend Server
• AeroGear Push 0.X
• CapeDwarf or WildFly 8
• Drupal 7 or WordPress 3.X
• Node.js
• Ruby or Python, Perl or even Google Go
• MongoDB, PostgreSQL or MySQL
• and others...

As you can see it offers really lot and for free - I don't know better service for freelance developers.
