Christian Heilmann’s book is soon to be winging it’s way onto the bookshop shelves from the 17th July. Don’t let the title mislead you there’s some nice and chunky examples to get your teeth into. Check out the book’s site to get a feel for what’s on offer and get your copy on order.

    This book is very good. I just finished reading it.
    It is for advanced beginners and professional developers.
    This JavaScript tutorial is a bit different than the others I have read but I can recommend it as a good read.

GNU screen: open tab in current working directory|(1)

A nice trick for having screen open a new tab in the same directory as the one you’re currently in. To use it add it to your .screenrc

# Open new window in current dir.
bind c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"
bind ^c stuff "screen -X chdir \$PWD;screen^M"

Ubuntu: add-apt-repository: command not found|(3)

When you’re using a minimal Ubuntu install if you find the ‘add-apt-repository’ command is missing (it’s useful for adding PPAs and other repositories), then simply run:

sudo apt-get install python-software-properties
