Reading Update

By K -


From my last post: http://krzychukula.blogspot.com/2013/02/reading-list-update.html

Finished:

  1. SMACSS by Jonathan Snook
  2. Czytaj dwa razy szybciej! by Marcin Matuszewski (how to read faster)
  3. JavaScript Allongé by Reginald Braithwaite
  4. The Programmers Stone readlist from blog: the-programmers-stone.com

Now I'm reading:

  1. Hexagonal Architecture for SCKRK Meeting
  2. Fallen Dragon by Peter F. Hamilton (sci-fi)
Next on my list:
  1. Effective JS by David Herman
  2. Make: Electronics. Learning Through Discovery By Charles Platt (I will finish first chapter in february)


SMACSS

Really good book about CSS, architecture of CSS in small to really big projects/websites. How to deal with duplication - especially how to avoid it. There is even a chapter about Preprocessors and I can strongly agree that this is tool that can help you but only if you are conscious about how it works and how CSS it generates looks like.

JavaScript Allongé

Book that explains Functional programming with JavaScript. I found many functional and combinatorial ideas there (Y combinator). Book is not ready yet in my opinion still worth reading (but you may want to wait a little bit to get more content). I really can recommend this book.

The Programmers Stone

I have started it as something to read in the tram before I could borrow Effective JavaScript. First articles were strange and I was thinking about abandoning it, but in the end it was worth to read till the end. Especially last article was impressive with explanation of where the ideas they have came from. It was really surprising to see something about Pierre Teilhard de Chardin surname (I've read about him in Hyperion Sci-Fi book). In the end it was worth reading.

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.

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.  Most of t
