May 28th, 2009As Wolfram already has posted in the last blog post, we are currently involved quite a bit in the mobile world and especially in investigating on how Dojo can be used best to develop for mobile devices.
Taking this as an opportunity we want to announce the next dojo.beer() in Barcelona on June 17th.
You can get all info about the event on the DojoCampus event site.
The day after, we are speaking at the Mobile2.0 developer day and will give a detailed introduction in how to write mobile applications using the Dojo Toolkit and making sure they are running on different platforms such as PhoneGap and the W3C widgets being supported by Vodafone.
If you are in Barcelona that week, feel free to get in touch and if you have time to join for drinks during the dojo.beer or the mobile 2.0 conference let us know. Please sign up using the poll below.
Para los españoles :-)
Como Wolfram ha escrito en su último artículo de blog, nosotros estamos muy involucrados en el mundo de los móviles y estamos especialmente investigando como desarollar de la mejor manera para dispositivos móviles con Dojo.
Aprovechamos esta oportunidad para anunciar el próximo dojo.beer() en Barcelona el 17 de junio de 2009.
Puedes encontrar toda la información en inglés sobre el evento en la página de eventos de DojoCampus.
Al día siguiente vamos a dar una ponencia en el Mobile2.0 developer day y vamos a explicar como escribir aplicaciones moviles usando el Dojo Toolit y como asegurarse de que funcionan en múltiples plataformas como PhoneGap y como W3C Widget apoyado por Vodafone entre otros.
Si estás en Barcelona durante esa semana y te apetece contactar con nosotros no dudes en venir a tomar una copa al dojo.beer o a la conferencia mobile2.0. Por favor participa en el poll abajo si quieres ir.
April 30th, 2009Nikolai said yesterday “Is Google spreadsheet becoming the new Microsoft Access?”. You know the visual database and form designer. Well, for the web and pure mashup apps, that are mainly or completely based on the web’s infrastructure, so to say cloud services, one could answer “Yes, it can cover at least the database part”. It may be poor in features, but a nice start.
Well all this buzzy stuff aside, read on to see how to use JSONP with a Google spreadsheet, even though it’s not exactly provided.

March 26th, 2009We have been developing some coding style guide lines to produce better code and make our code easier maintainable and portable. Also thinking about code inspection tools and continuous integration techniques which analyze the code will profit from a well defined and verifyable style.
While discussing a rather simple rule I thought this might be interesting to delve into a bit. You will be surprised how much you can discuss about a simple thing such as a for-loop and that is not only true for JavaScript, I am sure.

March 12th, 2009It was a project last year, where yet another inline documentation syntax was “created” and suggested to be used. That triggered our brains and they started spinning caused by the unhappiness of reinventing the wheel, especially for something that is still too much of a step-child for frontend engineers and doesn’t get the necessary dedication anyway, the JavaScript inline docs. So let’s give them some love :-).
Fast forwarding … what came out of it is the API docs viewer which, we here at uxebu, built over the christmas holidays. It is completely client-based, for creating the documentation and retreiving all the information, no server-side code is needed anymore, it’s all done in dojo.

March 2nd, 2009In the last article I have given an introduction on how to get dtrace running in your development environment, how to compile firefox and how a simple dtrace script looks like.
Today we will take a look at how to write more useful dtrace scripts and I will show how to analyze the resulting data in a simple dojox.charting chart.
February 20th, 2009After seeing a great talk by Johannes Schlueter about dtrace, I want to pass on the information and give a short introduction on how to set up your (Firefox) JavaScript development environment on OSX so you can dive into dtrace and start exploring the powerful features of this tool.
November 19th, 2008At the Ajax in Action we had four talks. Nikolai spoke about “Dojo and Adobe AIR” where he showed on an example how well dojo and AIR integrate. The second was “RIA/UI development with Dojo”, where he showed all about how the new layouting widgets in dojo 1.2 can be efficiently used. One talk I gave was “Efficient JavaScript Development”, where I tried to show a couple of tools, strategies, tips and tricks of how to develop JavaScript code efficiently and make it less pain. The second was “Scaling AJAX apps”, where I showed some concepts and ways to make your AJAX app fast and scale better.
