The release of iOS 9 has caused a mess of problems in the Apache Cordova, Ionic Framework , and PhoneGap communities. Problems spanning from styling issues, to permission issues, and even stricter security requirements that Apache Cordova wasn’t ready to handle. Here I’m going to discuss App Transport Security (ATS) an issue that is rapidly appearing amongst app developers.

SpeedCurve now provides a visual diff of every deploy. A full resolution PNG is captured for each URL and each pixel is diffed with the previous deploy allowing you to easily spot any visual changes you may or may not have expected. The key to practising safe continuous deployment is to have a robust set of tools that give you immediate feedback on how your code has changed between deploys and its effect on the user experience.

Previously I wrote about how to create an AngularJS application with PouchDB and Couchbase. The way I demonstrated is of course one way to accomplish the job of using Couchbase in a web application. This time around we’re going to take a look at creating a full stack application using the Couchbase , Express.js , AngularJS , and Node.js (CEAN) stack.

Last year when Android 5.0 Lollipop came out I didn’t want to wait for an over-the-air (OTA) update so I flashed my Nexus device manually. I wrote about this experience in a previous post. This time I upgraded my Android operating system to the latest Android 6.0 Marshmallow release. We’re going to see how to upgrade a Google Nexus device to use a vanilla version of the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system.
