Well, just in case you read RSS and you missed my tweet ... everything you need to know in github repository . Have fun with Harmony Collections

This is an early introduction to a project I have been thinking about for a while. The project is already usable in github but the documentation is lacking all over the place so please be patient and I'll add everything necessary to understand and use yuno . Zero Stress Namespace And Dependencies Resolver Let's face the reality: today there is still no standard way to include dependencies in a script. If we are using a generic JS loader, the aim is to simply download files and eventually wait for one or more dependency in order to be able to use everything we need. The require logic introduced via node.js does not scale in the browser due synchronous nature of the method itself plus the sandbox not that easy to emulate in a browser environment. The AMD concept is kinda OKish but once we load after dependencies, there is no way to implement a new one within the callback unless we are not exporting. I find AMD approach surely the most convenient but still not the best one: w...

In this year I have done more tests than ever over all these tiny and shiny portable devices and I'd like to share with the Web community the result of my experiments at the end of this 2010. " why not before xmas, ffs? " ... because whatever you bought as present for you or your relatives, will hopefully be updated soon with latest systems and related browsers :) The Dedicated WebKit ... Nightmare! As ppk mentioned already in Front Trends conference, we have basically only 5 browsers in our desktop PCs/Macs/Linuxes machines. Much more fun comes when we think we are dealing with a single browser, a generic WebKit based one, and we discover that there's no browser similar to another one, every bloody device has its own implementation with few exceptions represented by Safari Mobile, almost the same in iPad, iPod, and latest iPhone. WebKit and CSS(3) Even if the CSS engine is basically the same for every single specific implementation, the number of supported, and ...

When I read tweets like this one I cannot avoid a quick comment but the reason I am posting, is simply to explain that every time we write a web page/application, we are dealing with at least 4 different layers. Moreover, this post is complementary for few slides I have introduced at front-trends, specially regarding the " avoid classic OOP emulation when not necessary " point. Layer #1: JavaScript Libraries We all know the DOM is a mess, and this is most likely the reason we chose a JS library rather than deal directly with possible problems we can have when we develop an x?HTML page. Even if many developers don't care, I keep saying that every millisecond gained in this first layer, the page itself, is important. Moreover, if we have a good understanding of the JavaScript programming language, we can easily realize that all these " Java Pretending Style Frameworks " emulating classic inheritance and OOP are not easier to maintain neither faster for what we...

This is just a quick post about my last HTML5 sessionStorage implementation for "every" browser and this is the summary: Linear Storage Protocol finally consistent as a stand alone general purpose storage (string, file, request) RC4 Stream Cipher key generation without breaking characters (\x00 not in the random range) Cross Domain Support , if both site a.com and site b.com support my implementation, they will not delete or modify each other domain information optimized boot strap for frames and iframes, the storage parsing and reassignment is performed once and not every time which means zero delay when an iframe is injected or more frames uses the same implementation Finally, few bug fixes and this version is both W3C Draft compatible and cross browser. Known Supported Browsers Chrome 1 and 2, version 3 or 4 should have native support for Web Storage Internet Explorer 5, 6, and 7, 8 has native support for Web Storage Opera 7, 8, 9, and 10 beta, hopefully 1...

I am surfing in a nightmare of problems with IE and Opera right now ... all these problems come from sessionStorage implementation ... I am almost there, but right now just think about this question: How to know if onload and unload event are supported without firing them? Apparently, it has never been that simple! Object.prototype.toString .call(window.opera) === "[object Opera]" ; Enjoy P.S. Prototype Framework uses this trick since version 8, I had no idea about that! Good one!

Array.forEach(document.all, function(node, i, all){ // vice-versa project }); well, there are few things I can say here, and first one is: please, if interested, help me! The second one is my vision, a web where rather than criticisms, there is more collaboration to obtain good overall performances improving code quality. This is not my old JSL project, this is a new groove, a new project, a non library , something I hope you will all appreciate. But, if not, I am here to discuss about it :) vice-versa project Have fun with Web Development! Update Implemented a TaskSpeed test file for vice-versa project.

Update 2008/09/04 I have created a new version that should be able to recognise the correct Google directory in every supported windows, and not only English version. Please do not hesitate to tell me if the created link for No Sandbox Option is not creating it properly, thank you. Google Chrome Fix Multi Language OS ----------------------- I successfully tested the new browser in my laptop, while today I had some headache at work. This is the reason I created in few minutes a simple Windows Application that let you choose which option you want to solve crashes during Google Chrome startup: The application failed to initialize properly (0x00000005). Press Ok to terminate application. Please note that the registry fix option changes a key that should solve Symantec problems, but it is not clear if this key could change security level for those PC that use Symantec end point protection, or similar softwares. In every other case, the GUI create a link to launch Chrome without multiple san...

Hi guys, today we will not talk about my last JavaScript ArrayObject creation :D Today is the benchmark day, and in this case the test is as simple as explicative ... both Math object and scope are two things we use every day for whatever purpose in this baby Web 2.0 era!
