Advanced JavaScript Topics Part 1

If you are writing Hybrid Mobile Applications than JavaScript should in your blood. So, I am trying to write something about JavaScript today.

Some Resources

• https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Guide : It is Mozilla Developer Network also known as MDN. It is an open source Wiki also, which I  think not known to most of the people. It is one link that should be bookmark in your browser.

• https://github.com/rwaldron/idiomatic.js : It is a write up of idiomatic code that is widely accepted across the developer to write consistent JavaScript code. You may not agree with all the code which is there but it is a great place to start. There are couple of quotes written on the git page, which I like it is

         "Arguments over style are pointless. There should be a          style guide, and you should follow it"                

         Rebecca Murphey

• http://addyosmani.com/resources/essentialjsdesignpatterns/book/ : This is one stop shop for design patterns in JavaScript and if you are going to write a clean code in JavaScript and Follow a Design to solve the problems in JavaScript you should go through this.
• 
  
•     http://www.ecma-international.org/ecma-262/6.0/ : JavaScript is EEMA Script if you don’t know. This is the language specification and I am sure many of you have not referred to this. If you are referring to this means you are writing some serious efficient JavaScript Code.

How to remove NavBar from Blogger Template

In Blogger we have NavBar at the top of the which gives us access to move around the blogger easily as shown below.

Introduction to Facebook Parse SDK

Parse was acquired by Facebook in 2013 and they have announced Open Source SDKs. Open Sourced all of SDKs related to iOS, OSX, and Andriod. Code for all the SDKs is available on Github ParsePlatform.

Mobile Developers were using these SDKs for Development but were not aware of what is happening behind the scenes. 

Parse Team has started to write updates about the Parse SDKs on the blog. The very first blog "The Parse SDK : What's inside" tells about how Asynchronous APIs works in Parse.

WKWebView for Hybrid Apps in iOS 8

With the release of iOS 8, Apple has brought so many changes in the Framework existing classes and have introduced new classes.

For Hybrid App development we introduced UIWebView, Which is used for displaying the Web content. 

However, with the release of iOS Apple has introduced a new class called WKWebView. which is derived from UIView here is the inheritance chain for WKWebView.

NSObject
|
UIResponder
|
UIView
|
WKWebView

WKWebView is also derived from UIView similar to UIWebView, So what are the difference in both.

Hybrid App Development Part 1

So, in the previous blog Introduction to hybrid app development we learn about what is hybrid app. Today, we will learn more about hybrid app.

1. Hybrid App Architecture : Hybrid App Development Part 1
2. Development tools           : Hybrid App Development Part 2
3. Debugging techniques      : Hybrid App Development Part 3
4. Building Hybrid App        : Hybrid App Development Part 4
1. UI Development     : Part 4.1
2. Fetching Data and Angular Caching : Part 4.2
5. Testing the App                : Hybrid App Development Part 5
6. Deployment of App          : Hybrid App Development Part 6

We will talk about Architecture of Hybrid Mobile Application. We will discuss each of the component in detail. 

So first question that came to my mind when I think of Hybrid App Development is that what is it that enables this?

Answer to this Question is
