JavaScript Design Pattern


Design patterns are reusable solutions to commonly occurring problems in software design. They are both exciting and a fascinating topic to explore in any programming language.

One reason for this is that they help us build upon the combined experience of many developers that came before us and ensure we structure our code in an optimized way, meeting the needs of problems we're attempting to solve.

Design patterns also provide us a common vocabulary to describe solutions. This can be significantly simpler than describing syntax and semantics when we're attempting to convey a way of structuring a solution in code form to others.

In this book we will explore applying both classical and modern design patterns to the JavaScript programming language.

Server-driven UI (SDUI): Meet Zalandos AppCraft and AirBnB Lona

A short WTF: Joe Birch:  SERVER DRIVEN UI, PART 1: THE CONCEPT Zalando seems to follow the SDUI principle as well - defining a common design language and construct the screens on the backend while displaying them natively on the clients. They even go one step further; they implemented a mighty toolset to enable non-technical stakeholders to define their own native app screens Compass: Web tooling to create screens and bind data Beetroot: Backend service that combines the screen layout definition with the data Lapis/Golem: iOS/Android UI render engines Crazy cool! Good job, guys (when you do an open-source release?) To even move faster a Flutter based UI render engine implementation was great!

Writing High-Performance Swift Code

Enabling Optimizations Whole Module Optimizations (WMO) Reducing Dynamic Dispatch Dynamic Dispatch Advice: Use 'final' when you know the declaration does not need to be overridden Advice: Use 'private' and 'fileprivate' when declaration does not need to be accessed outside of file Advice: If WMO is enabled, use 'internal' when a declaration does not need to be accessed outside of module Using Container Types Efficiently Advice: Use value types in Array Advice: Use ContiguousArray with reference types when NSArray bridging is unnecessary Advice: Use inplace mutation instead of object-reassignment Wrapping operations Advice: Use wrapping integer arithmetic when you can prove that overflow cannot occur Generics Advice: Put generic declarations in the same module where they are used The cost of large Swift values Advice: Use copy-on-write semantics for large values Unsafe code Advice: Use unmanaged references to avoid reference counting overhead Protocols Ad...

Lean prioritization matrix

  We are sorting the stream of stakeholder request and product ideas in a KPI-weighted table. The Matrix This 2x2 matrix low effort vs. high effort high value vs. low value is a nice and easy consumable visualization model. The Weights Suggested weights are Reach How many customers does the feature impact? Customers New/existing target groups Revenue Will it drive revenue either direct or via extended CLV? Acquisition Will the feature help drive new customers? Efficiency Does the feature help drive efficiency in customers’ lives – be that internal customers (colleagues), or external (paying) customers? Brand Does the feature enhance your brand awareness? The classification/quadrants Top left to bottom right Q1 Do it now! Q2 Break it down and put in prio sequence Q3 Gap filler Q4 Forget about it... for now. Andy Wicks - Mind the product

iOS In-App Browser JavaScript injections to spy on user behaviour on 3rd party websites

 iOS Privacy: Instagram and Facebook can track anything you do on any website in their in-app browser The iOS Instagram and Facebook app render all third party links and ads within their app using a custom in-app browser. This causes various risks for the user, with the host app being able to track every single interaction with external websites, from all form inputs like passwords and addresses, to every single tap.

Apple Sneaks A Big Change Into iOS 5: Phasing Out Developer Access To The UDID

Apple is making a lot of big changes to its mobile operating system with iOS 5, which is dribbling out in betas for developers ahead of a general release later this year. But there is one big change some developers are just starting to take notice of that Apple isn’t talking about that much. In a recent update to the documentation for iOS 5 (which is only available to registered Apple developers, but a copy was forwarded to me), Apple notes that it will be phasing out access to the unique device identifier, or UDID, on iOS devices such as iPhones and iPads. TechCrunch Solution A: UIDevice-with-UniqueIdentifier-for-iOS-5 Brings back the unique identifier support under iOS 5, it uses the device's mac address in combination with the bundle identifier to generate a new hashed unique identifier. gekitz GitHub Alternate Solution B: Appsfire Announces Open Source UDID Replacement For iOS: OpenUDID It is based on the NSProcessInfo (see globallyUniqueString), but may change ...
