From computers to cars, design has returned to the forefront of building great products. Building them has become less about developing features and more about designing experiences. The experience is the product and the only thing users care about. So how do you build the right thing?

We’ve had pull to refresh for quite some time which is a really nice feature useful for pulling new updates. We also always had infinite lists using a smart list model approach, however up until now we didn’t have a standard implementation of an infinite container with arbitrary components. In some of the newer web UI’s such as Tumblr and Twitter the data is fetched dynamically when you reach a fixed location in the form, this is a simple..

Craftsmanship is really taking pride in your work. In terms of craftasmanship for me that means looking at the past and looking at where leatherworking came from and trying to take that and include smart design from now to create some really great leather products.” - Steven Enns

Earlier in the month I wrote a post about using C Dynamic Libraries in Go Programs . The article built a dynamic library in C and created a Go program that used it. The program worked but only if the dynamic library was in the same folder as the program. This constraint does not allow for the use of the go get command to download, build and install a working version of the program. I did not want to have any requirements to pre-inst....

All good things must come to an end…..and unfortunately this also applies to the Game On 2.0 exhibition at the Ontario Science Centre, which ran for the past 6 months (starting March 9th). This Labour Day weekend is the final time that you can check it out as it closes Sept 2nd. Our college (triOS College) was the presenting sponsor for the exhibition, which, for me was incredible - not only because I run our video game program, created ..

Hi All, I’ve used flurry for a number of years to keep track on my apps as it give a great view of active users, sessions and can also be used for error reporting. When I came to install it again today and couldn’t find it on nuget I thought it was about time I made a nuget package. Here it is: https://www.nuget.org/packages/FlurryForWindowsPhone8/ So now you can install with just this:

I went to a conference and heard “We’re making a significant shift towards more fact-based decision making. And I was kind of like, what do people usually use? Horoscopes?” There’s now a big drive to be more data-analytical.

I’ve got a problem. I am a perfectionist. I like perfect code. This is not only the correct way to develop applications but also the real proficiency. I enjoy reading a good listing not less than reading a good book. Developing architecture of a big project is no simpler than designing architecture of a big building. In case the work is good the result is no less beautiful. I am sometimes fascinated by how elegantly the patterns are entwine....

A really good comment is the one you managed to avoid. (c) Uncle Bob Lately, I’ve been feeling really tired of hot discussions on if it’s necessary to add comments in the code. As a rule, there are self-confident juniors with the indisputable statement as: “Why not to comment it, it will be unreadable without the comments!” on one side. And experienced seniors are on the other side. They understand that if it’s possible to go without the....

For those of you who are like me, trying to learn the Mac and Linux operating systems, Golang programming and deployment constructs all at the same time, I feel your pain. I have been building a Go application for a couple of months on my Mac and it was time to deploy the code on a local Ubuntu server. I was having a really tough time and it was turning into a disaster. Like always, I kept telling myself, I must be doing something wrong. ....

I’m going to build on Jamie Zawinski’s excellent advice about backups , which you should read first. This is basically that, but with some extra bits. If this seems too complex, then just do what he says . The plan is to use Backupninja to backup everything to an external USB drive – and also to Amazon S3 or Dropbox , depending on what it is. Backupninja provides a centralized way to configure and schedule many different backup u....

One of the issues I have run into running searchcode.com is that a huge amount of time spent serving pages is serving them to bots (about 900,000 hits a day are from bots). I have been watching the load averages and they can spike to over 30.00 occasionally which is pretty bad for a 4 core/ht system. I don’t have any problems with bot’s really other then the fact that I cannot really control them. Sure you can specify crawl delays but its o..

An important technique for reducing the risk of deployments is known as Blue-Green Deployments. If we call the current live production environment “blue”, the technique consists of bringing up a parallel “green” environment with the new version of the software and once everything is tested and ready to go live, you simply switch all user traffic to the “green” environment, leaving the “blue” environment idle.

Exciting news this week, Chen FINALLY did what we procrastinated on for so long and wrote an auto-complete text field! This is really easy to incorporate into your code, just replace your usage of TextField with AutoCompleteTextField and define the data that the auto complete should work from. There is a default implementation that accepts a String array or a ListModel for completion strings, this can work well for a “small” set of thou..

Now in its 3rd year, DevCon is a two-day, engineering-led conference that was created to bring together Cerner associates involved in all aspects of development and technology. DevCon is organized and run like many other developer conferences, complete with a call for papers and a talk selection committee. This year, we had 80 t..

If you are coming to Go after using a programming language like C# or Java, the first thing you will discover is that there are no traditional collection types like List and Dictionary. That really threw me off for months. I found a package called container/list and gravitated to using it for almost everything. Something in the back of my head kept nagging me. It didn’t make any sense that the language designers would not directly supp....

I love tabs, they’re so much easier to work with, but YAML doesn’t like them. I’m constantly adding them in accidentally, and puppet’s error message is a bit cryptic: Error: Could not retrieve catalog from remote server: Error 400 on SERVER: malformed format string - %S at /etc/puppet/manifests/foo.pp:18 on node bar.example.com This happens during a puppet run, which in my case loads up YAML files. The tricky part was that the error..

In an uncharacteristically long post from The Loop titled The state of Apple’s TV quest , Dave Mark made an interesting observation regarding Apple’s alleged impending entrance in to the television industry. The pertinent sentence — cited below — draws a parallel between the music industry prior to the introduction of iTunes and the television industry of today: Permalink.

On a recent episode of what I believe was Back to Work, Dan and Merlin mentioned in passing a great page on the MacRumors website offering buying advice for Apple products. Based on average product cycles and current rumors, the editors at MacRumors decide whether to give the green-light to purchasing a new Apple device, whether to caution against it in the case of a yellow light, or give a product the red light signifying their advice agai..

Considering Huangshan’s extreme beauty, it’s not surprising that the area derives much of its significance from Chinese art and literature. It has inspired poets such as Li Bai, many Chinese ink paintings, and more recently, photography. According to Wikipedia, over 20,000 poems were written about the mountains between the Tang Dynasty (618-906) and the end of the Qing Dynasty (1614 to 1911). They’ve also inspired modern works, lending to t..
