I refactored the reactjs implementation of todoMVC. And when I was done I realized that going through the process made me learn a lot especially about testing. Let me lay out where integration tests and manual tests played their roles in this process.
After the last post, where I briefly described how to setup mocha with ES6 (using traceur, a transpiler to working JavaScript) I couldn’t stop and had to prove, that getting it to run with on a real site was doable. It had it’s hurdles but voila it does work. See the github repo if you […]
It’s already two days ago, that SoCraTes is over and there is still this cosy feeling that it left. It was one of those memorable conferences that you know you wanna return to. Oh, an un-conference it was! And that’s the point, it was not the “one (wo)man standing and telling you the truth” conference. […]
When all tests pass, life is great. And that should be the default case. We are working towards all tests passing, we are not trying to make mistakes. But when we make mistakes we want to get rid of them asap. That means we need to understand the cause in order to fix it. If […]
This time I feel like sharing my (maybe) strange looking console.log() strategy, but I find it very effective, read on to learn why.
Uxebu is spreading its knowledge, get some of it – for 699€ if you are an early bird (999€ later)!
As Firefox 4 is now stable, chances are that the async IDB (IndexedDB) API is not going to change anymore. But IDB is not localStorage – it can be a major pain to work with. So, here is a guide on how to use IDB in Firefox as a key-value store. TL;DR There is example code […]
Yesterday HP announced the new WebOS devices in San Francisco. Nikolai and Stephan had been there (and they are still there). MWC starts on Monday. Six out of seven of the uxebus will be there in Barcelona, all week, one apartment, sea view and fun. After JSConf in Portland (at least) three of us are […]
IndexedDB is all the buzz right now, but it is pretty hard to find information about it’s implementations. In addition to that, the impls change on a weekly basis. So I figured it would be nice to summarize every now and then what has been happening around IDB in the last time. And as Mozilla […]
JSConf is just around the corner and all the JavaScript geeks are meeting there. We from uxebu are going there too, of course :). We are going to give four cool talks David Aurelio (of TouchScroll fame) – Interface Styling & Scripting for WebKit Mobile Jens Arps (our storage expert) – The hitchhiker’s guide to […]
Safari om the iPhone is an incredible powerful browser and comes with a whole bunch of features. Besides the amazing support for CSS3, a superfast rendering engine and great JavaScript support, there are a few hidden gems I want to explain in this (and maybe following) blogposts. If you are interested in mobile web development, […]
JavaScript allows to comma-separate multiple variable declarations, like so: var i=0, j=1 . Declaring multiple variables using one var-statement accross multiple lines is a NO GO! I consider this evil. And I learned it the hard way. It might look pretty nice, looks like less code and more efficient. But it definitely is not so […]
