After chapter 6: Nodes and Explorer Views

By K -
As in title there is only sixth chapter I ended also earlier ones, but this one was Huge!
I can't understand why author make his one big chapter where I can see at leas 2-3 relatively autonomous parts, at least properties and Visual Library can make a separate chapter. I am complaining because I really like small chapters which I can read in one evening or even morning ;)

Chapter 4: Lookup
Lookups are certainly a heart of modules system in NetBeans. Using scopes Modules can search for public classes(using this developers can add functionalities to existing modules) and communicate with other modules without knowing exactly to which module they are talking

Chapter 5: Actions
Pretty straight-forward, creating Actions(as global and reusable for toolbar, menu). More advanced is creating actions that are enabled with custom conditions, eg. Task object available in lookup to edit it :)

Chapter 6: Nodes and Explorer Views
Longest chapter (65 pages), about... everything from Explorer and Tress, context sensitive actions and ending at Property sheet and Widgets form Visual Library API.

Finally I downloaded the source code and started reading it instead of writing everything... There was simply too much of code to write, I write some methods in wrong class and can't find what is wrong. Certainly what was impossible for me to discover what is wrong without comparison to complete code. Everything was compiling but new NetBeans instance was 'dying' during startup and even debug mode wan't display any errors. This is not about book, but i think that it is really hard to fix application that doesn't tell me what is wrong... (or maybe there is something I can do in that situation?) NetBeans simply starts, and then display message that it's finished and closed. I that situation I would preffer a stacktrase ;)

How to simulate slow connection (developer proxy in Node.js)

By K -

Update: If you use Chrome then you can use "Throttling" so simulate slow network for all your assets. This should be easier than proxy. Toggle device mode   Choose Network type. Refresh the page https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/device-mode  Proxy: For some time I wanted to use some proxy for development and testing of eg. slow internet connection, but it was hard to find something useful and free. I know there is Charles but buy it to use it at most one in a month is not for me. I started thinking about Node.js, maybe I can write proxy for me? But fortunately I found one. https://github.com/nodejitsu/node-http-proxy With this module I can write really short code to create slow server: var http = require('http'), httpProxy = require('http-proxy'); httpProxy.createServer(function (req, res, proxy) { var buffer = httpProxy.buffer(req); setTimeout(function () { proxy.proxyRequest(req, res, { host:...

Safari Mobile CSS VW and VH units bug.

By K -

Recently we have created new version of mobil.aftenposten.no but soon after serving it to some users we spot this tweet:  https://twitter.com/Al3x4nd3rR/status/452047498111369216 . Basically titles were missing.... Then it started our effort to reproduce this bug. ... It was nightmare! First how to reproduce it: Open  http://krzychukula.github.io/vw_bfcache/  in Mobile Safari.  Click "Go to another page" link Leave phone for 60 seconds (longer is better) Click back button If you were lucky you should see some missing paragraphs and missing green boxes. How it looks: Bug: This one uses vw and vh for font-size. Both are 0 so we can see only 2 from 8 paragraphs. Those two are using only em for font-size. I was curious if it's only for font-size so I have added another test. I have added two boxes with width and height set in vw and vh with green background color. They parents have red background for contrast.  ...
