Iteration Guaymango release notes

2012-06-01

Iteration Guaymango Rulz!

oh boy! I cannot believe how much work I did this iteration.

New features

Google code prettify

We added css to our code, thanks to markdown awesome html sintax now something like:

@RequestMapping(value="/update", method=RequestMethod.PUT, headers="Accept=application/json")
@ResponseStatus(HttpStatus.OK)
public void updateEntry(@RequestBody BlogEntry blogEntry) {
    blogEntry.setLastUpdateDate(new Date());
    blogEntry.setPrintableHtml(markdownProcessor.markdown(blogEntry.getArticle()));
    blogEntryRepository.save(blogEntry);
}

is possible

Sitemesh 2 templating

Probably this ain’t that cool to the bare eye, nonetheless is so good for developers. Before all pages had embedded css and boiler html code to look alike. Now every thing goes so smooth.

About page has only this code

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>About</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <header>
            <h2>Bajoneando</h2>
        </header>
        <article>
            <strong>Bajoneando meaning</strong>
            <p>
                Bajonear is a salvadorean-spanish verb that you use to refer
                to the action of eating after hours, probably after a party or 
                a long day at work. 
                You can use it when you are famished and heading towards to
                grab a bite, something like <em>I am going to bajonear</em></p>
            <p>
                I am Bajoneando as you can see in the footer because I usually 
                program at work only but nowadays I have been feeling like 
                programming after hours with a cup of joe, nuts, dried fruit 
                or any paleo snack that I can eat
            </p>
        </article>
    </body>
</html>

yet produces a beautiful page go to About page and see it for yourself.

Article editor

Well not everybody is supposed to add, edit article but I have left it as is, like I said in the beginning please don’t be mean =) anyhow, we can add, update an entry and see a preview immediatly, no refresh =D thanks to the awesome dojo toolkit.

Pagination

Yup pagination was added as well, nothing too fancy just a previous and later entries links, I am hopping to write lots more entries everynow and then. Right now we have 5 entries per page, sorted DESC on published Date

HTML5

I know, I know, I should not brag about it but my site is HTML5 complaint or at least I check up my generated html at Markup Validation Service
