Last Month Update - Meet.js Krakow

By K -



I want to give some update what I've done

Books that I read:
  1. The Book of CSS3 by Peter Gasston
  2. Make: Electronics. Learning Through Discovery By Charles Platt (2nd chapter)
  3. Mixu's Node Book - pretty well written book about Node.js
  4. Single page apps in depth by Mixu as well.
  5. The Wise Man's Fear (The Kingkiller Chronicle) by Patrick Rothfuss (really good fantasy!)
  6. Pomnik Cesarzowej Achai - ch2 by Andrzej Ziemiański
  7. Krav-Maga for beginners.
  8. Web Design and Mobile Trends for 2013
Courses finished:
  1. HTML5 Game Development course on udacity.com
  2. Shell-Fu course on Memrise
Talks:

  1. DevTank at Interia.pl - I talked about Promises
  2. AGH - as one of the speakers, and then on laboratories on Mobile Web.
  3. Meet.js Kraków - organizer and speaker. I talked about LeapMotion and how to JS with it :)

Maybe more about Meet.js Kraków.
This was first time that I was an organizer so pretty big amount of my free time went into that.
We get about 180 people in local for about 100-120 so it was really crowded and fun :)
There were two sites with event:
https://www.facebook.com/events/499919666710639/ (facebook is standard channel of meet.js)
http://www.meetup.com/GDG-Krakow/events/110058652/ (with help of GDG Kraków)

My talk is probably best described as waving hands all the time ;) I've used LeapMotion and Reveal + leap.js to use those two together.

I really am proud of speakers and they done a really good job! Thanks guys!

Till May:
  1. Books:
    1. Maximize Your Memory Power by Nishant Kasibhatla
    2. Design for Hackers by  David Kadavy
    3. Seven Languages in Seven Weeks by Bruce A. Tate
    4. Make: Electronics. Learning Through Discovery By Charles Platt (3rd chapter)
  2. Courses:
    1. Interactive 3D Graphics (lesson 3 - 5)
  3. Events:
    1. Front-Trends!
Probably it's enough for second half of April :)

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.  ...
