/* This is a small sampling of the various approaches to media queries. The
point is: they're all over the board. Part of the "issue" (if you can call
it that) may be due to the intended audience of each site/framework. Another
may be that it's really difficult to test for a lot of different devices.
Regardless, it would be really nice if there was standard baseline that
could be used as a starting point for maximum compatibility and coverage. */

Developer Cheat Sheets

This are my cheat sheets that I have compiled over the years. Tired of searching Google for the same things, I started adding the information here. As time went on, this list has grown. I use this almost everyday and this Gist is the first bookmark on my list for quick and easy access.

I recommend that you compile your own list of cheat sheets as typing out the commands has been super helpful in allowing me to retain the information longer.

  1. General Background and Overview

Brief notes on Meteor for CS 294-101. Many of the key architectural ideas in Meteor are described at https://www.meteor.com/projects.

  1. BSD as example of great system design. Application primitives: processes run by a scheduler, sockets, sys calls, virtual memory, mbufs. What makes something a platform. Unix vs Multics.

  2. History of application architectures. Mainframes (e.g. IBM 360 / 3270), client-server (e.g. Win32), web (e.g. LAMP), cloud-client. Oscillation of where the software runs. Thin vs thick clients, data vs presentation on the wire. Changes driven by massive forces (cheap CPUs, ubiquitous internet, mobile). New architecture for each era.

  3. What it takes to make modern UI/UX. Mobile. Live updating. Collaboration. No refresh button. All drive the need for “realtime” or “reactive” system. Very different from HTTP era.

  4. Four questions: 1 — how do we move data around; 2 — where does it come from; 3 — where do we put it; 4 — how do we use it?
