  • Revisiting the design workflow in a scrum team To include design in your sprint or get it done ahead of time? One tough question that product managers seem to be split in half. In web development the design is generally upstream and stakeholders wants their say. Also compared to traditional software you have more breeds of devs, front-end & back-end. You need to […] Cedric Dugas No responses November 16, 2014
  • Agile workflow with GitHub issues GitHub is a very interesting always evolving product, it is becoming more & more the go to software to centralize (yeah I know..) your company repositories but also (and more importantly) keep track of the stuff you have to do in your projects with Github issues. Github issues is really a simple product & the […] Cedric Dugas No responses January 9, 2014
  • Selling a side project Today I feel a bit dirty, I just sold WeddingDeck after putting more than 100 hours in it for a couple of hundred dollars. Would I recap WeddingDeck’s life, I think I would describe a lot of side projects out there. A great coding burst getting slower & slower until it gets forgotten & frozen […] Cedric Dugas 3 responses November 13, 2013
  • Gluing together Jasmine, Grunt, Travis CI & Github, testing front-end code has never been easier Battle testing api’s, that’s a pretty common task in the testing world. Now testing the front-end code of an application, or website, that’s a bit newer. Go back 3 years ago and there wasn’t a whole lot of frameworks to do that, you had qUnit, and it was not all that sexy. But the more […] Cedric Dugas No responses July 8, 2013
  • The weird state of mobile web apps There are countless of articles debating going native or HTML5 for your next mobile app. But with Linkedin recently deciding to going back to native I am really starting to ask myself if HTML5 is still part of the equation for mobile apps at the current moment. Let’s look at a small retrospective & see […] Cedric Dugas 8 responses May 12, 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
