Recap – Chariot Day 2013 – Our internal conference…

Ken Rimple | March 15, 2013

One thing Chariot people love to do is learn new technologies and techniques. Being consultants constantly challenged in the field, keeping our blades sharp is key to doing battle. Every year or so we get together and run our own internal conference to see what each of our current passions are. We call it Chariot Day. Earlier this month, on a Saturday, we had two rooms going from 9-5PM, each with 45-minute sessions on subjects such as: Becoming a better…

Take (and Manipulate!) a Photo with a Web Page

Aaron Mulder | March 13, 2013

So not that long ago, if you wanted an app to take a photo, it had to be a native app — such as a Windows/Mac app or a native mobile application. But HTML5 has brought a number of new APIs that allow not only taking photos, but analyzing and manipulating them all within a browser.

Rod Biresch | February 11, 2013

I’ve recently started learning Clojure after a little encouragement from co-worker of mine. I’ve been developing in Java for a while now and spent the last 1 1/2 years with Groovy. The Groovy experience was great and the use of closures certainly “whet my appetite” for functional programming.

A Spring summary: The Spring framework is still relevant

Ken Rimple | February 4, 2013

Things get interesting, however, once you go past “plain vanilla” HTTPS. On a recent…
