A Basic Guide to Building Chrome Extensions(deanhume.com)

submitted by deanomachino(764) 7 days, 4 hours ago

Google Chrome has come a long way since it's early days. I am a big fan of the Chrome Developer tools and use it in my day to day development. There are also loads of great tools and extensions that are on offer at the Chrome store, and most are available to download for free. Depending on your requirements, creating a Chrome extension is really quick and easy - all it requires is a little knowledge of JavaScript and HTML. In this post, I am going to run through a tutorial that shows you how to create a small Chrome extension that allows you to display the top 5 posts on this blog from the RSS feed in a popup. It is a pretty basic example, but will give you a good understanding of Chrome extension development. read more...

Hostile code bases(tatiyants.com)

submitted by pwhe23(972) 4 months, 18 days ago

I don't like calling code bases legacy. The word "legacy" makes people think of Ivy League schools, vintage leather couches, and Dad's old bottle of Scotch. It rarely elicits the kind of feeling of pain and despair one normally gets when dealing with old code. So instead, I prefer to call crusty old code Hostile. read more...

submitted by pwhe23(972) 5 months, 6 days ago

The rise and rise of JavaScript(dannorth.net)

submitted by mcnamaragio(283) 5 months, 7 days ago

I’ve been using JavaScript for a while now, but only really programming in anger with it during the last year. I’ve found it in turns frustrating and enlightening, ridiculous and brilliant. I have never felt so empowered by a language and its ecosystem, so I thought I’d take some time to write about why that is. I’m starting with a ramble through the history of JavaScript, or rather my undoubtedly inaccurate understanding of it, to provide some context for where and how I’ve been using it. read more...
