Starting again on a Mac

I've been using a Mac for a month or more, but mainly for non-coding work. I still have a small number of windows servers set up in the cloud somewhere that host all my eclipse based tools and heavyweight java runtimes.

I took a train from Pittsburgh to NYC yesterday. 9 hours gave me time to digest a most of Azat Mardan's Practical Node.js book.  Also downloaded Kyle Simpson's excellent "You Don't Know JS" series.

So this afternoon I was just getting started setting up for dev on a Mac. Installed Sublime Text. Installed git, node.js and npm. Installed node-red. Went up to Bluemix and downloaded the bluemix and CF command line tools. Did a git push of projects from my old Windows box, and cloned the ones that made sense do my Mac.

I have a couple goals. 1) Build a UI for my HL7 project and then use API Connect to define and manage the connections to the other parts of that project. 2) Start to investigate replacing BPM UI's with REST based UI's built with some best of breed tooling. 3) Reorganize the Sumo project.
