I always think of myself as a person that tries and uses multiple tools, editors, libraries and more. I change my setup regularly and so I thought I should write down my setup yearly. But first, I will quickly talk about what I have used in the past. I will try to write a series of posts with the tools I have used all those years. Text Editors & IDEs I will start with the most important thing for a…
The king is dead, long live the new king! Misko Hevery and the Angular team revolutionized the way we work. When I first heard about Angular, was back in 2012 when there was a new breed of frameworks that wanted to dethrone the king at that time, jQuery. Backbone, Ember, Knockout, Angular, all wanted a part of the pie. I actually created a couple of projects with Backbone which was the first that earned some kind of popularity, and attended…
We all know and probably have used Google Docs. Its a very useful tool to write documents and have them sync across devices and platforms or cooperate with a colleague real-time on a document. On the other hand, Angular.js helps us create a full featured application or website that can function on its own, needing only a server to read and save data. What if we use Google Docs as our server to read and write our data? The need…
JavaScript was created back in 1995 but made a comeback with the introduction of Ajax and jQuery in 2006. Nowadays, over 60% of the 10000 top visited websites in the world use jQuery and most front end developers are familiar with Javascript and jQuery. But since jQuery is so popular, why invest time into learning a new JavaScript Framework? Framework vs Library The first difference is a big one, jQuery is a library and Angular.js is a framework. What does…
Hey, it’s been a while i wrote something on this blog, despite having a weekly reminder to make me visit this site more often. I keep looking around to Angular stuff, but i’m also thinking about some other stuff that I might (or probably might not) write about in the future. While working on Angular, I needed a temporary storage option. I had heard a lot about localStorage indexedDB, webDB but never really tried any of those choices. So, it…
Recently, I started working on a new project, in which we will use Angular.js for the frontend part and node.js/mongodb for the backend. The framework we chose for node is Express. I really love the simplicity of Express. But my main part is the frontend. I really like the concept that Angular introduces. The html is the the one that gives orders to the js, something is totally different based on what i was used to with jQuery and the…
I will try to maintain a blog for the sixth time in my life. Since im currently busy with new and exciting stuff, I hope that i will write more often about what im currently into
Once again, I will try to maintain a personal blog. I tried this already 4 times in the past, with much success. Lets see how it will go this time.
Lately, im heavily involved into developing on WordPress. Some small projects, and recently some bigger ones. So, the wiser decision was to transform most of my code into wordpress plugins. The benefits from such a decision are many and some big ones, like the ability to access all the core wordpress functions without including any additional files and direct access to the wp database with the $wpdb. Until now i was developing inside the wp theme, adding there some smaller…
