Creating Objects in Javascript allows complex functionality while exposing only certain functions. Sometimes it's helpful to expose Object properties as well and unless they're simply read-write attributes, it may not be immediately clear how to how[...] I bought my first book on JavaScript somewhere around 1998, and the topic of String manipulation was limited to using the "+" operator to join two strings and using the "+=" operator to append to an existing string. For the most part little changed[...] While exploring the details of ES6, one of the first things that you'll read about is the new class keyword.
It's not really something new, rather a new way to do the same thing we were doing before.
It's simply a different way to create JavaScript[...] There is a lot more to Angular development than Javascript and Typescript. The tooling required to fully leverage the framework
is quite extensive. You need to consider debugging, building and distributing, and testing. Each of those take
additional[...] We often see clients with IT teams and projects that, over time, suffer from software erosion.
The business requirements, or the IT landscape around the software, are changing faster than the software.
The software team is no longer able to deliver[...] Node.js is a platform built on Chrome's JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications.
It provides an event-driven architecture and a non-blocking I/O for application throughput and scalability.
That's all well and[...] Node.js is an amazing platform for creating dynamic web applications.
It handles high volumes easily and the npm ecosystem provides hundreds of modules that
include some very good pre-built features but, like anything, Node.js has it's limitations.[...] Delivering services over the web requires building software that is suitable for deploying to an environment that allows for scaling up without significant changes to the application itself. It should allow businesses to take advantage of high[...] Returning errors in the first argument of a callback works great in the simplest of examples, but the further you go down that path and the more code you write it quickly becomes apparent that it's not maintainable and should be handled differently.[...] It comes from the best intentions, and we've all seen it before. The business has a need, a project is started, developers are hired and given a rough set of specs that outline basic functionality and they get to work crafting HTML & CSS to make[...] We've been developing solutions with Node.js for a couple years now and once you wrap your head around a few simple concepts, going back to anything else feels like work. Before getting into details, lets talk about a few key points.
Node.js is not[...] When working with new customers, one of the first things we get to see is the current state of the applications that they use to run their business. Sometimes it's a 3rd party application that they've purchased off the shelf, sometimes it's an[...] I've heard plenty of developers talk about how being "lazy" has pushed them into using build scripts, but that's not being fair to the value that can be achieved from a good build script. It's not about being lazy, it's about being smart. The[...] Modern software development has changed a lot from the days where entire apps were written
with UI and business logic in a single code base.
Today there are a lot more layers and it's not simply about front-end,
infrastructure, server-side, and[...] It is a widely repeated fact that software development projects often go over budget and schedule by large margins.
Many different, jaw dropping, stats are quoted on this subject. At BinaryOps we work very hard to not become part of those stats.
We[...] Communication is of vital importance during the execution of any project. There are different communication needs for the various
stakeholders in the project. For instance the project sponsor needs to be kept up to date about budgets and timelines,[...] The computer industry is famous for creating lingo, acronyms and buzzwords. So much so that there are even boardroom games
like Buzzword Bingo. When new terminology comes along we have to sort out where it fits.
Wikipedia shows DevOps as the[...] You've probably heard the term 'API' when talking to software development types, or as I like to call them, people. An API is
an Application Programming Interface. To the layperson it's how developers separate a user interface from software[...] When we talk about software project estimates, a section on Testing is usually the first one to take some heat.
While the argument could be made that the necessity of software testing on small project is be less than that of a
large project, it's[...]
