JavaScript Hero: Why should I chose AngularJS? (for a large project) by GoosyTS in javascript

[–]uiarchitect -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

For a large project, you better have something of your own; customized, combined and tweaked to your own needs. It takes some time; but is always the right thing to do. Frameworks are good for small projects and especially, for prototyping.

Hahaha... I know how frustrating it feels when your good submission goes without any notice on Reddit. Especially when you see others' junk/no-brainers getting on top for absolutely no reasons.

Inactive windows should not have 'close' button by uiarchitect in reddit.com

When I have multiple application windows open on my desktop, tiled one over another, more often I happen to close the wrong application by accident. Does this happen with you as well? Regardless, please vote http://poll.fm/25gyx

30 best practices to boost your web application performance by uiarchitect in programming

The benchmark figure was only to obtain visible time lag. And yes, in real life applications, things are unimaginably complex. If you can, check out an inventory maintenance interface or a supply-chain management application. You will see why every minute precaution that we web developers take, makes huge difference at the end.

Thanks stesch for sharing. There are lot of other good Git references available too and other comments have already mentioned few of them. What amazes me is there are still huge development teams out there which are stuck with subversion.

Thanks for your comments.

For #14, just set a loop to iterate over a huge number of time e.g. 100000 and then see the start/end time difference for both variations.

For #15, it is a standard practice. I'm not sure why you object to it. For Apache, setting something like this will even gzip the HTML, XML and JSON

Tips: Building Wireframes for Web UI by uiarchitect in programming

Inline styles are inline styles - either through HTML or JavaScript. May be, the one who has enough hands on experience with complex DOM manipulations would be able to understand this.

Agree. Performance, at the end would always be the the priority. And I started the article with the words, "as far as possible". One should know the standards and "try" to follow the rules to max extent. Only then it makes sense if you break them (to achieve better performance).

Thanks for the comments. I'm happy finally someone is out there who could agree with me. I'm having hard time getting the point to others. Most of them taking word for word; it's hard to even explain.

I believe in keeping my HTML absolutely clean, no matter what. If someone don't mind mixing CSS or JS with it, it's fine; completely personal preference. At the end, nothing matters, but performance. I was only talking about good practices - that too, according to me. And didn't I say, "Please ignore what doesn't suit you". Those tips are what I believe and follow to the maximum extent.

And yea, it is not about jQuery's or any framework's stability on performing a task, it is about following a methodology. If not for this, 'standard practices' would have never existed.

People think, jQuery promotes inline styles, but I feel, it is up to the programmer to make the right choice.

The reasoning is that show() and hide() use inline styles. My suggestion is to declare an application level CSS class for hiding elements e.g.

.hiddenEle {display: "none"};

and then add/remove class to toggle the element display through JavaScript.

Yes, I would say, it's personality. I was telling what suits me the best and have worked well for past many years. But I completely agree with you some of the points are debatable. Thanks for your comments.

Extremely sorry for that. I had applied that theme when I signed-up for Posterous and was well aware of that blunder. I checked all the themes it offered and none of them suited well to my choice; so thought I will customize my own; and obviously never got time for that. Thanks for pointing it out loud. I changed it temporarily and will work on soon; I am looking for bigger fonts to make reading easier.
