System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

1. Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

• User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
  • Who is going to use it?
  • How are they going to use it?

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Moving to ES6 from CoffeeScript

I fell in love with CoffeeScript a couple of years ago. Javascript has always seemed something of an interesting curiosity to me and I was happy to see the meteoric rise of Node.js, but coming from a background of Python I really preferred a cleaner syntax.

In any fast moving community it is inevitable that things will change, and so today we see a big shift toward ES6, the new version of Javascript. It incorporates a handful of the nicer features from CoffeeScript and is usable today through tools like Babel. Here are some of my thoughts and issues on moving away from CoffeeScript in favor of ES6.

While reading I suggest keeping open a tab to Babel's learning ES6 page. The examples there are great.

Punctuation

Holy punctuation, Batman! Say goodbye to your whitespace and hello to parenthesis, curly braces, and semicolons again. Even with the advanced ES6 syntax you'll find yourself writing a lot more punctuatio

Fundamentals: why state machines?

States. The final frontier. These are the voyages of an enterprising developer. Her eternal mission: to explore strange new techniques, to seek out better ways to engineer for mental models and new design patterns. To boldly go where a few awesome devs have gone before.

So you’ve found our poignant guide to SCXML and surely you’re wondering “Why should I want to go out of my way to use formal state machines?” or something like that. Hopefully this introduction addresses that kind of question.

An example: Nancy’s RPG

git cheat-sheet

The git command-line utility has plenty of inconsistencies http://steveko.wordpress.com/2012/02/24/10-things-i-hate-about-git/

A GUI like http://sourcetreeapp.com is often helpful, but staying on the command line usually quicker. This is a list of the commands I use most frequently, listed by functional category:
