HTML5, Javascript, CSS & mobile Web

Der Anlaufpunkt für informatives und lustiges über HTML5, Javascript, Apple, iOS, iPhone, Android, Google und noch anderen Kram. Mein Name ist Robert Agthe und ich bin aktuell freier Javascript Entwickler bei Pinuts & 5Apps. Ihr könnt mir gern hier Fragen stellen oder etwas spenden. Folgt auf Twitter & Facebook

  1. parislemon:

I was a bit surprised when I first saw the screen above on the (great) new Facebook Camera app. That’s the initial screen you get when you first open the app. But how on Earth did the app know my name? I assumed, of course, it was related to the fact that I also had the main Facebook iOS app installed on my iPhone — but still, how did those two apps talk to one another as neither is system-level?
Here’s how. (And here’s Apple’s documentation on it.)
It’s a smart way to do it (though it may get a bit of backlash). And it will allow Facebook to continue to build separate apps for key features — perhaps an Events app next? — that are quick and easy to install and use. Now just imagine if this was baked into iOS itself so other apps could use it (just like the Twitter iOS integration, but actually even a little more seamless). It would save a lot of typing and/or a number of clicks for app switching (Single Sign On). In my mind, this “hack” shows why Facebook eventually needs to do their own mobile OS. Deep integration and seamless use are paramount in mobile.

  2. Meteocons - Wettericons

    Wettericons

    Meteocons is a set of weather icons, it containing 40+ icons available in PSD, CHS, EPS, SVG, Desktop font and Web font. All icon and updates are free and always will be.

    durchaus brauchbar.

  3. LiveReload

    LiveReload

    Von allen Verzeichnisüberwachern und Präprozessoren am brauchbarsten. Kann von Haus au LESS, SASS, Compass, Stylus, CoffeeScript, IcedCoffeeScript, Eco, SLIM, HAML, Jade und kann erweitert werden.

    LiveReload monitors changes in the file system. As soon as you save a file, it is preprocessed as needed, and the browser is refreshed.

    Über ein Plugin oder JS Snippet kann der Browser nach Änderungen an Dateien auch automatisch aktualisiert werden.

    LiveReload can invoke a Terminal command after processing changes. Run a Rake/Cake task, a Shell script or anything else you need.

  4. "It’s about time. I know this seems a bit crazy given the recent (but not yet completed) Instagram purchase. But I had heard a few weeks ago that the app was really close to being done. Remember, the Instagram deal was done very quickly by Zuckerberg himself. I imagine they figured there was no point scrapping all the work this team was doing — at first glance, the app looks great — especially since the plan is to let Instagram operate mostly autonomously. And again, the Instagram deal isn’t done just yet (but it will get done)."
  5. "Redmond has decided not only that Visual Studio Express users should have the ability to develop Metro-style applications: they should have no other choice."

    Schön jemacht.

  7. "I’ve designed literally dozens of component APIs over the years, including for clients like Apple, and I’ve learned quite a bit about the process. I periodically release open source components too, and the feedback I’ve had has helped me put together a set of guidelines for API design that I’d like to share with you."

  11. PEG.js – Parser Generator for JavaScript

    PEG.js is a simple parser generator for JavaScript that produces fast parsers with excellent error reporting. You can use it to process complex data or computer languages and build transformers, interpreters, compilers and other tools easily.

    Mit einfacher Syntax Parser schreiben. Alex MacCaw hat zB. einen Parser für CSS3 geschrieben. Kann man vielleicht mal gebrauchen.

  12. iPhone 5 - 4 Zoll Display

    Could a slightly bigger iPhone display make business users more productive without turning the device into — gasp — an Android device?

    iPhone5 Display vergleich

    Ich konnte mich eigentlich die letzte Zeit nie so recht mit dem Gedanken anfreunden, dass Apple dem iPhone 5 ein größeres Display spendiert. Für mich hatte das jetzige die perfekte Größe. Aber nachdem ich dieses Bild 10 Minuten angestarrt habe, kommt mir das linke viel natürlicher und das rechte immer befremdlicher vor. 16:9, bin dafür. Ob es so kommt, wird man sehen.

  13. "Much as I love Panic, I’ve never used Coda, because it never felt like it was aware of web developers who do something other than edit and deploy php files via ftp. I know over the years they’ve added syntax highlighting for other languages and they added svn support, but it still always felt like it was designed for a previous generation of web developers, not those on the cutting edge today."
  14. Working Draft Revision 72: SASS vs. LESS & Googlebot vs. JavaScript

    Die Stammbesatzung trat an und brauchte zum Sortieren der Themen länger als für die Aufnahme. Trotzdem ist noch einiges an Material übrig geblieben.

    • SASS versus LESS
    • Media Queries Level 4
    • Google Bot now crawls arbitrary Javascript sites
    • Google Chrome Canary: webkitdirectory attribute walkthrough
