Raymond is a developer evangelist for Adobe. He focuses on APIs, AI, the web platform, and enterprise cat demos.
A few months ago, I built a little demo that I simply forgot to actually talk about here. A coworker was building something similar and it reminded me to take a look at the code, update it, and actually share it. This is a pretty cool example of integrating multiple different APIs to create a final product, in this case, a short story with pictures. Here's an example:
As I continue to dig into Leaflet, I was recently asked about custom markers based on data, so for example, some locations for a store may use one icon while others use another. I did some digging, and while it turns out Leaflet has deep support for customizing markers, it does take a little bit of work. Here's what I found.
When I first started talking about Leaftlet, I mentioned how it was "only" a map library, and by that I mean, only able to present a view/wrapper around tiles representing map data. There's a heck of a lot of services that Google Maps, HERE, and so forth, add on top that won't be present, things like routing, geocoding, and more. Considering the fact that Leaflet is, again, "only" a client-side JavaScript library, that's just a fact of life. But I've been thinking about how I could integrate Leaflet with such services, and I thought I'd share a demo of just that - adding geocoding to Leaflet.
This week I had the pleasure to present on Google Gemini at the ColdFusion Summit. If you weren't able to make it, I do plan on giving the talk again on the ColdFusion Meetup sometime later this year.
This is just a quick note to let my readers know that Eleventy 3.0 has been released. This is a huge update and folks using it should read the full release notes here: Eleventy v3.0.0: Possums ❤️ ESM.
Hello dear readers. I wish I could say I've got a restful weekend in front of me, but today we're driving to New Orleans to pick up our eldest who has been in Germany for a year, and tomorrow we fly to Las Vegas for the Adobe ColdFusion Summit. Both are things I'm quite happy about, but it's going to be a lot. I'm currently sitting, drinking coffee, and watching "Grey's Anatomy", a good guilty-pleasure show.
