I saw this list of ten supposedly tools “you can’t live without” and found it lacking; it’s more of a list of IDEs/text editors and frameworks which a front-end could choose from. I wanted a set of comprehensive tools that addressed the varied tasks that a front-end engineer encounters, so I came up with my own.

The saying “if it doesn’t exist on the Internet, it doesn’t exist“ is reigning truer every day. Nowadays, it is hard to imagine most businesses without an e-commerce platform, let alone without a web presence at all. Since e-commerce is becoming the new standard, e-commerce performance needs to be at its best. This article is an introduction to the blog series where I discuss several ways to ensure your company’s e-commerce performance success, including: avoiding unnecessary network load, reducing number of (internal) HTTP errors, improving backend performance, understanding your clients, ensuring scalability of e-commerce site and finally understanding sales results through conversion rate. In this episode you can read why pagerank SEO is not enough, and why performance and usability of your e-commerce matters.

An intro on how to add and control multiple ad networks in your Android app with Kii Ads SDK. Kii provides a mobile backend as a service (MBaaS) which takes commonly-used functionality on the server side and makes it easily manageable from a native client SDK.

In this post we take a look at some fonts that are already installed on your visitors computers most of the time.

Pieter Hintjens, a maintainer of ZeroMQ: The Definitive Guide, discusses the patterns, the code, and the community behind this message-passing library.

From OpsCode, a thirty-minute tale on the triumphs and hurdles Turner Broadcasting System's team encountered as it attempted to implement DevOps and deploy Chef.

Aspose.Email for Java 2.9.0 now supports adding contacts, notes, tasks, calendar, and journal items to PST files in the same way as messages are added to PST. We have also fixed a number of bugs, reported earlier by our valued customers and users, in this month’s release. Issues related to email conversion to other formats such as MHTML, saving image from a VCard, processing ICS files, creating PSTs with a large number of email messages, saving attachments from message using stream and some exceptions.

Grails has great support for testing. We can unit test controllers, taglibs, services and much more. One of the things we can unit test are views and templates. Suppose we have a view or template with some (hopefully simple) logic (a view/template should not contain complex logic), for example an if-else statement to display some content conditionally. We can write a test in Grails to see if the logic is correctly implemented.

One of the things that I like about building Windows Store apps using Visual Studio 2012 is the availability of several rich and useful templates. One of my favorites is the Grid App template, which demonstrates how to build an app with a hub page listing grouped items in a ListView control, a group details page, listing information about each group, and an item details page, for information about specific items.

Samsung says it has developed technology that could sit "at the core of 5G" - the successor to the 4G mobile-communications standard.

At an insurance company, I encountered an application that had been in place for thirty years. Classic flat-file, mainframe COBOL. And decades old. It had never been replaced with a packaged solution. It had never been converted to a SQL database. It had never been rewritten in VB to run on a desktop.

Behat is an open source Behavior Driven Development (BDD) framework for PHP inspired by the Ruby Cucumber BDD framework.

I am from Pakistan. Like most of Pakistanis, I am also a huge fan of Cricket. Yesterday, I got some time from my busy job. I thought to create a simple Cricket Live Score feature using ASP.NET SignalR. It is also Interesting to note that the guys(David Fowler from West Indies and Damian Edwards from Australia) that are heavily involved in SignalR development are also cricket fans(correct me if I am wrong). In this article, I will show you how to create a simple 'Live Cricket Score' feature using SignalR.

A Domain-Specific Language (DSL) can provide some intellectual leverage. We can always write long and convoluted programs in a general-purpose programming language (like Python, Java or C). Sometimes it can make more sense to invent a new domain-specific language and implement the solution in that language.

We have seen it more often than not lately, and many of us have been taking it for granted: Twitter as the place to go for rapid communication during an emergency. Here in the Boston area, we saw the whole East Coast rely on Twitter as a communications vehicle during Hurricane Sandy.

Version control is becoming a ubiquitous part of the “DevOps movement,” and we talk through what level of understanding should be expected, what level of training should be provided, and whether those are different for different teams or different tools.

Coding4Fun Mission Control is a flexible framework that allows developers to easily create an API to control a variety of devices through an extensible network communication platform. For end-users, a companion Windows Phone application is available, that communicates with the controller server through a well-defined set of short-codes.
