If you’ve been following along in Programming By Stealth, where @bart is teaching us how to use Jekyll to create real websites on GitHub Pages, you’ll enjoy this next installment on how to create reusable snippets with Jekyll Includes. They’re like TextExpander snippets!
Programming by StealthReusable Snippets with Jekyll Includes
In our continuing journey to learn to build websites using GitHub Pages, in this installment, @bart teaches us how to create our own theme with Jekyll layouts. Terminology of Jekyll is still tricky, but with some worked examples and a challenge this time, maybe it will start to cement in our brains!
You can find Bart’s fabulous tutorial shownotes and the audio podcast at https://pbs.bartificer.net/pbs180

This week, we have a Tidbit episode of the Programming By Stealth podcast, where @bart & Helma van der Linden review the conversion of the XKPasswd project from Perl to JavaScript, and then how she separated the JavaScript library from the web app code. XKPasswd is officially out of beta and available at xkpasswd.net

Thanks to @bart and our Programming By Stealth podcast, everywhere I look I see opportunities for automation. Creating those automations makes me all warm and fuzzy.

Podfeet Podcasts · Automation Gives Me All the Feels - Podfeet PodcastsWhen Bart and I hatched our plan for him to teach me and the audience how to program, he called it Programming By Stealth for a very specific reason. His plan was to sneak up on us by teaching us a single language first and then when we weren’t noticing, keep adding to our toolkit […]
Way back in September of 2022, @bart finished off the Webpack miniseries by leaving it as an exercise for the student to deploy their web apps to GitHub Pages. Bart closes that circle in this installment while teaching us how to use GitHub Actions.

@bart launches us into a new miniseries in #ProgrammingByStealth where we'll learn how to make a website (for free) using #GitHub Pages as a static site generator. In this installment, he walks through the problem to be solved and compares the pros and cons vs. a traditional content management system like WordPress. Then he outlines the tools we'll be learning to automate the process and style the site to be our own.

Last time we talked about the *theory* of Git submodules, but today @bart lets us get our hands dirty with Git on the command line to learn how they work. Enjoy PBS 173: Getting Started with Submodules (Git)

Like I say at the end of the article, I'm not saying I made fire here or anything, but I think it's an interesting example of how useful a LLM, in this case ChatGPT is becoming for me. I hope @bart isn't disappointed in me!

Podfeet Podcasts · CCATP #794 Bart Busschots on PBS 166 of X — jq: Processing Arrays & Dictionaries sans Explosion - Podfeet PodcastsIn this penultimate jq episode of Programming By Stealth, Bart introduces us to three new ways to process arrays and dictionaries without exploding them first. I know that sounds crazy – we’ve always exploded our arrays first. He teaches us how to use the reduce operator which lets us take an entire array or dictionary […]
CCATP #793 — @bart Busschots on PBS 165 of X – jq: Variables https://www.podfeet.com/blog/2024/05/ccatp-793/
Podfeet Podcasts · CCATP #793 — Bart Busschots on PBS 165 of X – jq: Variables - Podfeet PodcastsIn this installment of Programming By Stealth, Bart explains why jq is uniquely designed not to need variables (most of the time) and then explains how to use them in the few instances when there’s no other way. It’s really a fairly straightforward lesson as Bart sets up some clear examples and solves them with […]
I just made myself laugh with this heading in the article I'm writing:
"Let's Git this Party Started!"
@bart explains the tradeoff we have to make between efficient use of space and speed efficiency in search JSON files and how jq Lookups can solve that for us.

He takes a bit of a detour to explain a fun email we got from Jill of Kent […]
In this episode of Programming By Stealth, @bart speaks of the existential concept, “Everything exists with the value of null.” But seriously - we learn how to manipulate arrays and dictionaries in JSON using jq.
