HubSpot Community Developer Show

In the season opener for the HubSpot Community Developer Show, we have a reunion of sorts. We are back again talking about accessibility. We brought together the cast from our first show on accessibility and added a powerful addition, Samuel Proulx, Accessibility Evangelist at Fable.  *The actual execution of the rendered html forms embed code rollout may differ from what is described in the recording as we’re always looking for the best way to balance the many factors involved.  Useful links: How to follow our cast:  Samuel Proulx   Jon Sasala (Morey Creative) Jon McLaren  Tanya Scales   Dennis Edson  HubSpot Accessibility Docs  Things mentioned in the show: InclusionHub InclusionsHub Events  InclusionHub Linkedin InclusionHub Twitter  Fable  Fable Upskill   Deque Wave Stark Google Lighthouse Be My Eyes

Mark Ryba of Smart Bug Media and Doug Osborne of Episilon sit down with  Jon McLaren and me to explore developing front-end projects with a local  development workflow. If you liked what you were hearing at the beginning of the show, that  was a fellow Community Developer, Christopher Mathieu's band, Phantom  Suns You can find that song and more here: If you have a killer song you would like us to feature, let us know! SHOW NOTES: Mark's dart group Style Fields in Beta VS Code HubL linting in Beta Updated Asset Marketplace Beta for marketplace validation using the CLI Doug's must have VSCode extensions: Prettier -  (we also have a commit hook that enforces prettier formatting) Jira -  (helps quickly make tickets on the fly, keys off of “TODO:” lines in your code where applicable) Atom One Dark Theme -  (Long time Atom user, I got used to the colors 🤷‍♂️) Mark's must have extensions: HS Extension Jinja Twig Autoprefixer Beautify Compare Folders - Mainly used for comparing modules and child/parent theme folders GitHub Pull Requests and Issues LiveServer -  Rarely used anymore, mostly for HTML emails before adding HubL tokens

Phil Vallender of Blend Marketing and Tim Joyce of Echopunch join AJ  LaPorte, Alex Girard and me to talk about how developers and marketers  can work together successfully.  Believe it or not, it is possible!

Hey friends! Our first podcast is in the books! Although I was nervous as heck, it was a blast getting to spend time with some people who really know their stuff when it comes to accessibility. Jon Sasala was the perfect complement in style to mine which apparently  involves looking at the corner of my screen. Note to self, need to work  on looking at or near the camera on occasion. And if Jon wasn't enough, I had the honor of hearing both Tanya Scales  and Jon McLaren of HubSpot really drive it home.
