Angular architecture patterns – Detailed project architecture
Welcome back to series of blog posts about architectural patterns for front-end web applications. The code examples are written in Angular 4 but the logic is applicable in plain JavaScript or any modern JavaScript framework. If you are new with this topic, check previously published posts: High level project architecture Detailed project architecture (current chapter) Additional application […]
Angular architecture patterns – High level project architecture
These series of articles have arisen after months of research and work on Angular 2 projects. It’s based on experience and observations while trying to create a project architecture which will be sustainable and what’s more important it represents a set of guidelines to keep the project organised and maintainable. The goal is to divide […]
Cordova hooks (4/4 steps to properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework)
And here we are on the last article of “Properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework” topic.
Gulp tasks (3/4 steps to properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework)
Welcome back to blog series about organizing Ionic mobile project. Last time we were talking about organizing Angular code and making maintainable and modular JavaScript file structure.
Organize AngularJS code (2/4 steps to properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework)
This is second step of organising Ionic mobile project in this blog series and we’ll take a look at some more interesting things and will dive into Angular more deeply. In last two blog posts of series we described how to prepare blank project from Ionic built in templates and now it’s time to reorganise it […]
Blank Ionic mobile project setup (1/4 steps to properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework)
Last time we introduced you briefly to the ideas why we are doing this series of articles. In a nutshell, our experiences with the frameworks around Ionic, as well as with Angular applications dictate how we build our solutions today – most notably the hybrid mobile solutions. We want to share them with you and […]
Exposing and testing your local web solutions online using NGrok
We’ve been using Web Hooks lately to try the new Microsoft ASP.NET Web Hooks implementation in action through Visual Studio. The problem with testing and debugging such a solution is that it expects a URL to connect to, and while in production or on test location it’s not a problem, testing and debugging it on […]
Four steps to properly set mobile app project using Ionic framework – Introduction
For long time now we believe that hybrid mobile applications are a very feasible and cost-effective approach to build business mobile solutions. In that sense we have seen technologies emerge and churn to a point that it makes sense to say we have a stable hybrid mobile development environment. With the creation of PhoneGap, which […]
Umbraco as a wireframing tool?
I’m loving Umbraco so much that I started using it beyond his CMS capabilities. Lately, after trying several mockup and wireframing tools, I finally settled with… Umbraco! We’re mostly using Twitter Bootstrap for our web apps, and those two in combination make an excellent wireframing tool. It is really simple to set it up, I […]
Umbraco widgets – razor way
We have been working on an interesting project lately and as usual, with every new project there is some new Umbraco implementation trick we learn. That is the power of Umbraco and what I love about it, you can do almost anything, it is the most flexible system I ever used. In this particular case, […]
Umbraco and DotNetNuke
I have deliberately used “and” in the title to avoid “Umbraco vs DotnetNuke”. This is not technical comparison between the two nor overview of either one of those CMSes. It’s simply a short story why we started using Umbraco, in parallel to DNN, after many years of DNN development. Being of technical background but economics and management […]
MailFormProtector – Protect form to email in Umbraco
As a company that builds web portals and corporate sites we noticed a spam problem with web forms. Our clients complained about spam coming through their contact forms (or they receive blank forms) and requested that we solves it. Why CAPTCHA is not the solution? Captcha is not always a good option. Visitors hate to […]
EU Cookie Legislation and Umbraco
Introduction to law: There has been a lot of talks about EU Cookie legislation on websites. Everybody that does websites probably got at least few call from clients with questions and requests to make their websites comply. Cookie legislation also changed in the meantime which confused some. In short, what we have been getting from […]
Mobile devices development using HTML5/JS – part 4 – XUI and/or frameworkless way
My last test was something minimalistic and XUI (https://xuijs.com/) seems like the best choice as it comes from the same team as PhoneGap. You can think of XUI like stipped down JQuery. It is only 10k and covers basic things like selectors, events but also some fx like transitions. I must admit I tried even […]
Mobile devices development using HTML5/JS – part 3 – Sencha Touch
It took me some time from part 2 to part 3 and that is because part 3 was Sencha Touch (https://www.sencha.com/products/touch/). This baby is far from JQuery Mobile… completely opposite side of the mobile frameworks spectrum. JQM was a markup-driven framework and you deal with a lot of HTML5, in Sencha Touch index.html had only […]
Mobile devices development using HTML5/JS – part 2 – JQuery Mobile
Following on previous post Mobile devices development using HTML5/JS – part 1 , after my initial discovery of PhoneGap and HTML5 mobile frameworks it was time to try out the first one. Since we’ve been using JQuery for long time on our web apps and web sites, it was a logical candidate to start with. […]
Mobile devices development using HTML5/JS – part 1
I have always avoided development for mobile phones. There are too many platforms and programming in Java is not something I want to learn. But last week @istrigo pointed me to PhoneGap (www.phonegap.com) and that changed everything (a bit late for myself I must admit!). PhoneGap enables you to develop HTML5/JS apps the same way […]
