Brackets: Using and Contributing To the Best Code Editor for the Web

SPEAKER: Ryan Stewart, Adobe Senior Product Manager

ABSTRACT: A few years ago Adobe started Brackets, a modern, open source code editor that understands web design and it has since grown to become one of the most popular projects on GitHub and one of the best text editors for front end developers. One of the special things about Brackets is that it's written primarily in JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, so anyone who uses Brackets can also contribute to the project or create extensions. Ryan Stewart, the Sr. Product Manager for Brackets at Adobe, will walk through some of the main features of Brackets, share the philosophy and tools that the team uses to develop Brackets and also show how easy it is to contribute directly to the project or write an extension.
