Last night, we hosted three great talks on tools and toolkits. Adam Lehman gave us an overview of Adobe's open source code editor Brackets and encouraged everyone in the room to contribute.
“If you use this tool, you should be able to contribute to it.†-@adrocknaphobia Awesome @brackets philosophy. #nytdevs
- Sarah Duve (@sarah_duve)
A cool idea for making an open source more open: have a GitHub label for “starter bugsâ€, gives people an entry point to contribute. #nytdevs
- Aram Zucker-Scharff (@Chronotope)
Our own Andre Behrens discussed some of the unique challenges we face developing NYTimes.com and presented his rules for tool selection:
- Plan for change
- Know your problem
- Be nice
“The solutions change a lot, the problems rarely do†- @mrandre shares a quote from @eitanmk #nytdevs
- timesopen (@timesopen)
To wrap up the event, Thorsten Lorenz took the stage to talk about browserify, which allows a user to integrate client- and server-side JavaScript. He ended with a step-by-step walkthrough of how to build an application using browserify.
I may even use the result of last nights #browserify demo to quick-edit markdown: http://t.co/CHfb9iEMZA cc @timesopen @justinjmoses

Thanks to everyone who came out for Tools & Toolkits!
