Gitpod Goes Open Source

Gitpod, a Kubernetes application that provides a collaborative development environments in your browser, is now open source. Coding in Gitpod uses Eclipse Theia, which is similar to VS Code. Gitpod is also tightly integrated with GitLab, GitHub, and Bitbucket.

Gitpod provides an IDE that can be launched from any GitHub page. Along with the in-browser IDE you get a cloud-based Linux container configured specifically for the current project.

Eclipse Theia is described as a true open source alternative to Microsoft’s Visual Studio Code. Theia is an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud and Desktop IDEs.

Theia has been designed to give an extensible platform to develop multi-language Cloud and Desktop IDE-like products for developers. Using Theia means Gitpod offers coding support features in the IDE such as syntax highlighting and auto-complete. While the current IDE is based on Theia, the developers plan to allow the use of other IDEs as well.

VS Code extensions are supported, and you can use any VS Code extension by installing it from the integrated vendor-neutral marketplace Open VSX.

Gitpod supports prebuilt dev environments, and it continuously builds your git branches like a CI server.What this means is that whenever your code changes for reasons such as when new commits are pushed to your repository, Gitpod can prebuild workspaces, i.e. run the init commands in your .gitpod.yml before you even start a workspace. This means that when you create a new workspace on a branch, or Pull/Merge Request, for which a prebuild exists, this workspace will load much faster, because all dependencies will have been already downloaded ahead of time, and your code will be already compiled.


Parallel workspaces are another feature - essentially each browser tab acts as a separate workspace so that if one workspace is occupied with work in progress, you can open a second tab for different work.

Gitpod It includes an integrated Docker build and supports integrated code reviews. You can take snapshots of any stat of your dev environment and let others create clones, and the team development options include the ability to Invite team members to your environments.

Making open source JavaScript pay

Image
Money isn’t everything to the success of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. Or is it? Looking at the  2019 State of JavaScript report , something stands out: Money apparently can’t buy everything. Or, at least, not every major front-end and back-end programming framework is sponsored by a big company. Sure, we have Google to thank for  Angular , and Facebook gets credit for  React , but what about  Vue.js ? Or Gatsby? Or Next.js? While these (and other) open source projects do seem to suggest a future without Big Corps shoveling Big Money into open source, the reality is a bit more nuanced. For the developers looking to pay their way through open source, however, reality isn’t nuanced at all. For every Vue.js founder  Evan You making $16,000 per month with Patreon contributions , there are thousands of developers struggling to scrape together $16 for the important open source work they’re doing.

How artificial intelligence is making the education system more relevant?

Image
Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way education is imparted in students with varied interests and capabilities. When we think of artificial intelligence, there is a hardwired imagery of gigantic thinking machines working in sci-fi environment. This imagery often comes from the science fiction that we have been watching or reading since childhood. However, deep diving suggests that artificial intelligence is an advanced form of algorithm that empowers machines to emulate human behavior under real life situations. Today, there is no industry untouched by the ripples caused by artificial intelligence. Education sets the foundation of human behavior. Educational ecosystem is formed by knowledge base, teaching skills and experience, learning capability, and evolving teaching methods. Digital learning solutions equipped with artificial intelligence are making revolutionary changes to the way educat...

What Is Brutalism in Web Design?

Image
3   min read   Brutalism is a special breed of web design, working well for quirky, creative brands and individuals. However, this rule-bending design technique must be employed with care. Read this guide to find out how. Brutalism is one of those trends that seems to come and go in web design. It’s not because there isn’t much value in brutalist design. It’s more that it doesn’t always fit with the style and tone of the times.  That’s part of what makes brutalism so intriguing though. When most websites tend to fall in line and adopt the same basic trends from year to year, a website that doesn’t play by the rules can easily steal the spotlight.  You just need to know whether that’s the right kind of light you want to shine on the brand. Brutalism can sometimes come off as cold and somber. If it’s not properly executed or not used for the right kind of brand, it can send the wrong signals to website visitors.  In this guide to brutalism in web design, we’l...
