Javascript Shorthand Coding Techniques

My (@pongstr) opinion about shorthand coding techniques

Shorthand code is not really a replacement for normal coding but it is very handy and useful in some cases. There are tons of opinions and debates around this but, again it all comes down what is necessary for your codebase and using it responsibly.

JavaScript Templates Engines

A quick comparison/ benchmark between Hogan, Dust, doT and underscore

Presentation and Readability

Hogan.js

Developed by Twitter (same team as Bootstrap), use exactly the same syntax as Mustache, but more performant and more stuff available server side.

How to set up stress-free SSL on an OS X development machine

One of the best ways to reduce complexity (read: stress) in web development is to minimize the differences between your development and production environments. After being frustrated by attempts to unify the approach to SSL on my local machine and in production, I searched for a workflow that would make the protocol invisible to me between all environments.

Most workflows make the following compromises:

• Use HTTPS in production but HTTP locally. This is annoying because it makes the environments inconsistent, and the protocol choices leak up into the stack. For example, your web application needs to understand the underlying protocol when using the secure flag for cookies. If you don't get this right, your HTTP development server won't be able to read the cookies it writes, or worse, your HTTPS production server could pass sensitive cookies over an insecure connection.

• Use production SSL certificates locally. This is annoying

JS FUNdamentals

If it's not fun, it's not JavaScript.

Expressiveness

Programming languages like BASIC, Python, C has boring machine-like nature which requires developers to write extra code that's not directly related to the solution itself. Think about line numbers in BASIC or interfaces, classes and patterns in Java.

On the other hand JavaScript inherits the best traits of pure mathematics, LISP, C# which lead to a great deal of expressiveness (and fun!).
