Give Your NativeScript Mobile App An Ionic Framework Theme

The Polyglot Developer

I’ve been developing and writing about NativeScript for a while now. One of the things that everyone seems to bring up is that the UI NativeScript offers is unattractive in comparison to frameworks like Ionic. Sure, it may be unattractive, but it is a native UI and had you been developing with Java or Objective-C things would be no different. The UI is what you make of it.

Cross Compiling C/C++ for Android

Nick Desaulniers

Let’s say you want to build a hello world command line application in C or C++ and run it on your Android phone. How would you go about it? It’s not super practical; apps visible and distributable to end users must use the framework (AFAIK), but for folks looking to get into developing on ARM it’s likely they have an ARM device in their pocket. This post is for folks who typically invoke their compiler from the command line, either explicitly, from build scripts, or other forms of automation.

Build An RSS Reader Mobile App With Ionic 2 And Angular

The Polyglot Developer

If you’re a long time follower of my blog you’ll remember I wrote an article about creating an RSS reader using Ionic Framework. That tutorial not only used the first version of Ionic Framework, but it now also uses a deprecated Google service, once known as the Google Feed API. Because of the deprecated API, it no longer works. I still get a lot of people asking me about the creation of RSS readers, so I figured it was time to come up with a new solution.

CPU throttling using Chrome Developer Tools

Dean Hume

I recently gave a tutorial at Velocity Conference in Santa Clara about some of the amazing features that lie within the browsers we use everyday. As web developers, we are pretty lucky to have such awesome developer tools at our disposal.

Technical Debt

Professor Beekums

The subject of technical debt comes up often in software development. It is better to have something done sooner rather than later from the perspective of the project. Yet, this assumes all things are equal, which is rarely the case. Often a developer will have a choice: the short term path or the long term path. For example, a task can be done in 2 hours with one implementation.

Working With Shared Providers In An Ionic 2 Mobile App

The Polyglot Developer

When developing an Ionic 2 application there are often scenarios where it probably isn’t a good idea to include repetitive source code in multiple application pages. A common example of this would be when it comes to database interaction in an Ionic 2 application. Sure you could establish a connection to the database on every page and query it, but it would probably make more sense to use it like a shared provider.

In Tech, Portfolio Management is a Metaphor, Not a Way of Life

The Agile Manager

A few years ago, I wrote about the chronic misuse of the word "governance" in technology. The word "portfolio" is suffering the same fate. The reason for introducing the word "portfolio" into tech management is that some portion of tech spend is really an investment in the business, something that differentiates it and gives it a competitive edge - for example, mobile or web client-facing apps, or internal software that codifies workflows to capture efficiencies.
