WebSockets are one of the most underappreciated innovations in HTML5. Unlike local storage, canvas, web workers, or even video playback, the benefits of the WebSocket API are not immediately apparent to the end user.
It’s been quite interesting to read the recent “Tools of the Trade” meme where people are blogging what they use to do their job. I found it so interesting in fact, that I decided to find out what tools we all use at Brightbox. Here’s our list.
If you've worked with Web apps using Ruby, you might know of Rack, an interface that sits between Ruby applications and HTTP-speaking Web servers. All of the major Ruby frameworks and server setups use it now, including Rails. Middleware (in Rack) is code that manipulates data going back and forth between your Ruby apps and the HTTP server.
Polling architectures, as pervasive as they are today, did not come about due to their efficiency. Whether you are maintaining a popular endpoint (Twitter), or trying to get near real-time news (RSS), neither side benefits from this architecture.
My last machine finally died a slow, painful death, so I have the opportunity to start with a new, fresh machine. As usual, I begin with high hopes of keeping things clean and easy to navigate, but I anticipate failure. In an effort to stave off that failure, I’ll be blogging specific techniques (successful and failed) that I use to try and keep things organized.
If you were looking for a great example of a collaborative map-reduce, then you don't have look much further than the amount of feedback and commentary that the earlier 'Collaborative Map-Reduce in the Browser' post received in a short span of twenty four hours.
My job is web application development, so I have to test my projects under most popular browsers, like Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera and Google Chrome.
Firefox, Opera, GoogleChrome work great under my Ubuntu Box, and the other once work under Wine.
*Internet Explorer*. It's pain to setup IE6 and IE7, because you can take a look of many bugs with render html and vml.
Just forget Wine for the purpose!
Microsoft give us FREE virtual PC images with IE6, IE7, IE8 aboard! Don't you believe?
With the release of Googles browser Chrome, as Web Developers I think we could take a few pointers that I am sure we all know about but sometimes we need to be reminded.
Technology
Google wanted to introduce a browser that had multiprocess architecture. Other browsers, if one of the tabs crash the whole browser crashes. In our web applications we need to take advantage of new technology like Rails 2.2 and develop applications that are innovative making use of technology to develop new concepts and ways of solving a problem.
