I’m a big fan of Material Design, the ripple (ink) effect and the use of color are my favorites. According to the Material Design spec in regards to color: Color in material design is inspired by bold hues juxtaposed with muted environments, deep shadows, and bright highlights. Material takes cues from contemporary architecture, road signs, pavement marking tape, and athletic courts.

As a software tester, chances are you’ve heard the terms “black box testing” and “white box testing” before. In the past, we’ve written about functional testing and smoke testing as part of our Types of Testing blog posts. In this post, we’re going to talk about the differences between black and white box testing. Both types of testing are vital in producing quality software, but the difference is the approach to these testing methods is considerable.

So why do you want to know if your website is mobile friendly? Most likely it is because you have heard about last year's announcement from google over at google webmaster central. It turns out that Google has updated their algorithm to significantly increase the weight of mobile-friendliness as a ranking signal. That's right, significantly!

What follows is roughly the text of a talk I gave last week at the Extensible Web Summit in Melbourne. The Point of Extensibility. Mark , apparently, “volunteered” me to give a lightning talk last night over a dinner that I wasn’t at, so apologies in advance if I run short or long. Something that comes up frequently in our work on the TAG is the relationship between extensibility as a principle and how it relates to specific features we want in the web platform.

I publish many video tutorials to YouTube and Udemy , but have you ever wondered how I created them? I know there are a ton of people out there that have serious skills worth sharing, but may not know how to make a video tutorial. I plan to clear things up and demonstrate that making video screencasts isn’t all that difficult. We’ll be using free software that ships on every Mac computer.

I’m hacking on an assembly project, and wanted to document some of the tricks I was using for figuring out what was going on. This post might seem a little basic for folks who spend all day heads down in gdb or who do this stuff professionally, but I just wanted to share a quick intro to some tools that others may find useful. ( oh god, I’m doing it ).

Have you ever wanted to build a mobile real-time chat application? Previously I demonstrated how to build a real-time chat application using the CEAN web stack using Socket.io. This is essentially part two to that tutorial. We’re going to take a look at what it takes to create a chat application using Socket.io and the mobile web framework Ionic 2. The post Creating a Real Time Chat Application with Ionic and Socket.io appeared first on The Polyglot Developer.

I’ve been developing with Ionic Framework since it was beta at the beginning of 2014. Since then I’ve published two applications and done other things that I cannot talk about due to non-disclosure agreements that I’ve signed over the years. I wanted to take the time to do something that I should have done after my first year, but never got around to.
