Interested in talking about how you make your IDE sing? Or have a question for the group? Please share in the comments.

Can anyone confirm that this meetup is indeed happening? Would love to come down and network but for me it's a bit of a drive. Just checking!

Drupal Nosh for May is on..

Hi Andrew,

Next week's meeting is still scheduled - I'm looking forward to seeing everyone who can join us.

To all - we are still looking for people willing to share their IDE/editor tips and tricks, let me know or put a suggestion in the comments.

Have a great week!

Regards,
Meredith

I can share my knowledge

Posted by njmahesh on May 18, 2015 at 7:49pm

I can share my knowledge about Brackets - The open source code editor.

I do a lot of shorthand stuff

Posted by esteinborn on May 18, 2015 at 8:01pm

I do a lot of shorthand stuff through Sublime Text. I could demo some of my most useful features inside it.

Terrific!

Posted by goldieashe on May 20, 2015 at 8:56pm

Thank you for offering to present Mahesh and Eric!

I'll be in touch with you both privately about topics and timeframes.

I think I have another person or two lined up also - so it should be a great discussion and learning chance.

If others have an interest in presenting your tips and trade secrets for your editors and IDEs, drop me a line.

Thanks again -
Meredith

NetBeans

Posted by Debra G on May 21, 2015 at 2:43pm

Another IDE we could talk about is NetBeans. Although I haven't yet tried it, there's a Drupal NetBeans plugin in development.

NetBeans and Eclipse

Posted by goldieashe on May 22, 2015 at 1:03am

Hi Debra -

Great suggestion - and I believe we have a volunteer to talk briefly about NetBeans, as well as Eclipse. So this should be interesting.

Wysiwyg

Posted by jcatalfa on May 22, 2015 at 4:02pm

I have had some dificulty with the wysiwyg module and thought could someone touch on the use and how to implament it. I know a bit of a newbie request but I'm finding that Druple dosent like to play nice sometimes.

Example:

The editor libraries installation
Setting user profiles for use and limitations
location on view or is it set to a block

Thank you for having us! Dorian and I had to hit the road back north so unfortunately we missed the Q+A. We really enjoyed the presentation on Sublime Text. Hope to see you all at another meetup!
