A code monkey randomly typing on a keyboard for an infinite amount of time will almost surely produce brilliance (almost).

I want to thank everyone who came to my talk, “Typography + Text Editing in the Text Layout Framework.”  Text formatting and layout is not the sexiest topic in the world so I was glad to see that people were interested.  I also was glad to get folks asking questions, looking like maybe they would be interested in using the TLF themselves.

I have uploaded my slides to both this site and slideshare.  In regards to the example code, I have a GitHub repo and also have attached a zip of the code to this post.

I will be updating the slides soon to add references and adding comments.  In the near future, I may write follow-up posts discussing in detail how I implemented some features I added to the example code, especially one or two that I did not go over during my session.

Would love to hear from folks who have questions or just want to knock heads on the TLF.

Thanks again everyone for coming.

[UPDATE: I changed the github repo so the URL is different. Also I have created a library for TLF-related components that I have done for examples and may do in the future.]
