Develop Your CMS In Your CMS
May 18, 2015
In this session you’ll see how we embedded the cutting edge Ace code editor into Perforce Chronicle. Ace (formerly Skywriter, Bespin) is a powerful JavaScript-based editor that matches the performance and functionality of native applications such as TextMate and Vim. Using Ace, we’ll show how you can tweak existing themes and modules — or write completely new ones — from anywhere. You can deploy to the cloud and start hacking without having to configure or install anything locally.
But wait, there’s more! If you attend now, we’ll also demonstrate how we used this system to integrate with Pinterest. If you haven’t heard, Pinterest is the hot new site that lets you create ‘pinboards’ to organize and share the things you love.
