Meet the Stash Realtime Editor Add-on
Several weeks ago, I found myself refactoring some code a colleague of mine in Boulder wrote (I’m in San Francisco). Because I’m impatient, I wanted him to review my changes without going through the normal pomp and circumstance of what’s now commonly referred to as a pull request or code review. I found myself wishing […]
AtlasCamp 2012 now on DVD and Blu-ray!
Seems just like yesterday when we all got together to enjoy a beer (or many, among other things) over a lovely campfire at AtlasCamp, Atlassian’s Annual Add-on Developer Conference Camp. Actually, it’s been a while… a month to be exact. “Why did it take you so long to write-up a post-AtlasCamp update?” you ask? Because […]
Reasons to go to AtlasCamp 2012, Part 3
If you haven’t noticed, we’re extremely excited about this year’s AtlasCamp. “Why”, you ask? Well, let me count the ways: one, two, and now three… Personally, the biggest reason I think this year’s AtlasCamp will be our best yet is because of the speakers and content we’ve been assembling. For the past few months, we’ve been carefully curating […]
Reasons to go to AtlasCamp 2012, Part 1
You might have noticed that we’ve opened up registration to AtlasCamp, our annual developer fest in sunny and beautiful Half Moon Bay, California. This year’s event will be on September 19-21. If you’re an Atlassian plugin developer, you can’t miss this event. AtlasCamp is not your usual developer conference. As a matter of fact, we go out […]
Announcing the Codegeist 2012 Winners
Seven short weeks ago, on the first day of Summit, we kicked off Codegeist 2012, our sixth annual add-on development competition. Participants had six weeks to throw together one or more kick-ass add-ons for a chance to win cash prizes totaling $45,000 USD. Codegeist ended last week (16 July). This year’s was, by far, the best Codegeist […]
13 days left before Codegeist ends!
That’s right, only 13 days left before four awesome developers win $45,000 in cash prizes. What are you waiting for? If this news comes to you as a surprise, it’s not too late. Codegeist is our annual Add-on development contest. If you have an idea, some code skills, and a desire to win you’ve still […]
There’s an add-on for that.
Whether you were at Summit or watched from the sidelines, you’ve probably already heard about the Atlassian Marketplace. If not, no worries. The Atlassian Marketplace is an app store where you can buy and sell add-ons to enhance Atlassian products in powerful ways. [youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H0sh99wBZfE] If you’re a developer, the Marketplace is your fastest path to […]
Codegeist is Back!
Now that Summit is over, let the real fun begin! Yes, that’s right, Codegeist, your favorite development competition is back. Some of you who came to Summit will know that this year’s Codegeist started June 1st and goes until July 16th. For you noobs, Codegeist is Atlassian’s annual add-on development competition. This year we’re giving […]
AtlasCamp EU Videos Now Online!

Thanks for all who made it possible. Here are the talks: Keynote — Jean-Michel Lemieux, VP of Engineering, Atlassian All About the Marketplace — Jonathan […]
My Hip New Workflow with Hipchat
I’m not a huge fan of most notifications, especially the ones that vie for my constant attention — like badge notifications on my iPhone. However, there is a time and place for focused and timely notifications that have increased my productivity. Many people who’ve never used Hipchat before are quick to dismiss it as a […]
On Conference Talks
My last few weeks have been consumed by conferences — hosting, attending, speaking at, and planning for. As a developer I appreciate not only great technical talks, but also great speakers who can deliver them. I’ve been attending (and sometimes speaking at) tech conferences since the late 90s, but it wasn’t until the Web 2.0 […]
European AtlasCampers Unite
I just arrived home from another awesome AtlasCamp, our annual gathering for developers, add-on vendors, and interested customers. AtlasCamp was a bit different this year. For the first time around we hosted camp in a European city — Weisbaden, Germany. It turned out to be the best and biggest AtlasCamp we’ve had yet! We had over […]
Stable APIs? Yes, we have them.
I think we can all agree that building a software product is difficult. What’s even more difficult is maintaining it. It’s particularly difficult and frustrating when the APIs you’ve come to depend on change from under you. Changing APIs between minor releases negatively affects the developers who rely on it for their products, the customers […]
REST easy with Jira 5
Now that Jira 5 is out, let’s talk about one of my favorite features of this new release, Jira’s new REST API. Jira has supported remote APIs for many years with SOAP, XML-RPC, and JSON-RPC. However, telling developers that you support SOAP (and only SOAP) is like saying that you like writing applications with COBOL — […]
Jira Development Cookbook — A book by Jobin Kuruvilla
Jobin Kuruvilla, an experienced Jira consultant and plugin developer, set out on the ambitious task to write a detailed and thorough book about Jira plugin development. The result? A well crafted 450+ page book that starts by introducing the reader to Atlassian’s plugin framework and ends with useful recipes usually gained only by weathered experience. […]
