  • iPresent, mobile mockups presenter At CakeMail we are ramping up our mobile effort with a new mobile web app, recently we hit a milestone & completed most of the interface design.

  • Data mining user behaviors in web apps tl;dr I got a jquery plugin that track agitated user behaviors. Do you currently track user behaviours? Most people would say yes, if you have google analytics installed you do track behaviors, at least a form of it. But do you do the extra mile to understand your users? That’s a question that could be […] Cedric Dugas No responses March 6, 2013
  • Implementing live updates with Backbone.js I don’t know about you, but backbone.js always left me crave for more. It’s the simplicity of it that makes me want to learn how others are using it to solve real world problems. When I’ve started work on Clevertim CRM, which heavily uses backbone.js, I wanted to read about some of the real world […] Cedric Dugas No responses March 2, 2013
  • Scaffolding backbone.js generators with grunt.js Following my encounter with yeoman, I wanted to see if I could easily create my own generators with Grunt. Not because yeoman ones were bads, they are in fact pretty good, but I just do not work exactly like Yeoman wants me too. Another thing is that I wanted easily modifiable generators that could be […] Cedric Dugas No responses February 27, 2013
  • Yeoman and friends Isn’t it every developer dream to have his own command line & scaffolding tool? Do we really save time by creating and using those? I’m not quite sure but I certainly feel fancy when I use them. Enter Yeoman, a tool that streamline your front-end development. or so it seems. Frankly while I now “get” […] Cedric Dugas 3 responses February 26, 2013
  • Death to monolithic libraries If you write code for the web you have dealt with them, gigantic libraries that does everything for you in one nice package. I’m not talking about utilities libs & frameworks like jQuery and backbone. I’m talking about Lightboxes, sliders, form validators, file uploaders, wysiwygs, and etc. They offer you tons of features, a big […] Cedric Dugas 4 responses February 7, 2013
  • The jQuery 1.9 & 2.0 upgrade awkwardness In a recent study it has been said that about 50% of major websites use jQuery. It has become omnipresent and you can actually find job listings that does not list javascript as a skill but list jQuery. You don’t have to search far to understand why. Using jQuery is the easiest way to add […] Cedric Dugas 5 responses January 23, 2013
  • Another year in review Each year I try to do a small review of what has been going on in my dev life, but first I wanted to get out a couple of articles I written a long time ago that I particularly found interesting or just funny, let’s get started: 2011 Year in review 2010 Overtime and web […] Cedric Dugas 2 responses December 17, 2012
  • Html5 drag’n drop file upload, shenanigans used only by developers? Uploading files has been done since the ice age of web development. In fact uploading a file using Html4 and an iFrame is pretty easy and does not even require a page refresh and about 0 line of code on the front-end, obviously you won’t get a progress bar but does it really matter? Uploading […] Cedric Dugas 4 responses December 17, 2012
