Documentation

  • Read the Docs hosts documentation, making it fully searchable and easy to find. You can import your docs using any major version control system, including Mercurial, Git, Subversion, and Bazaar. We support webhooks so your docs get built when you commit code. There's also support for versioning so you can build docs from tags and branches of your code in your repository.

Coding

  • Bookmarklet Crunchinator - Based on the Javascript Crunchinator Demo, you can use this to quickly create a bookmarklet from some javascript code. Enter your javascript code in the text area below Input. Enter a name for the bookmarklet in the Name field. Click crunch, and the code will be compressed, and turned into a link under output. You can then drag this to your bookmarks toolbar as a bookmarklet, or right click and bookmark it, or just click it to try it out. Note that your code will automatically be wrapped in a function to make it bookmarklet-friendly.
  • EightPack consists of the following tools: JSLint, JSHint, JS Beautifier, JSMin, CSS Beautify, and cssmin.js. Uses V8 engine.
  • JShrink is a php class that minifies javascript so that it can be delivered to the client quicker. This code can be used by any product looking to minify their javascript on the fly (although caching the results is suggested for performance reasons). Unlike many other products this is not a port into php but a native application, resulting in better performance.
  • CSSO (CSS Optimizer) is a CSS minimizer unlike others. In addition to usual minification techniques it can perform structural optimization of CSS files, resulting in smaller file size compared to other minifiers. Node.js.
  • Collide is an open-source "collaborative IDE" demonstration. Pick a folder you want to edit on your local file system. Run Collide from the command line in that folder. You and your amigos browse to http://your_host_name:8080. Collaboratively edit :). Java.
  • CSSLint is a tool to help point out problems with your CSS code. It does basic syntax checking as well as applying a set of rules to the code that look for problematic patterns or signs of inefficiency. The rules are all pluggable, so you can easily write your own or omit ones you don't want.
  • Initializr is an HTML5 templates generator to help you getting started with a new project based on HTML5 Boilerplate. It generates for you a clean customizable template with just what you need to start!


Validation

  • HTML Inspector is a highly-customizable, code quality JavaScript tool to help you (and your team) write better markup. It aims to find a balance between the uncompromisingly strict W3C validator and having absolutely no rules at all (the unfortunate reality for most of us).

Web API

Webhooks

  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Webhook - a method of augmenting or altering the behaviour of a web page, or web application, with custom callbacks. These callbacks may be maintained, modified, and managed by third-party users and developers who may not necessarily be affiliated with the originating website or application. The term "webhook" was coined by Jeff Lindsay in 2007 from the computer programming term hook.


  • RequestBin - gives you a URL that will collect requests made to it and let you inspect them in a human-friendly way.Use RequestBin to see what your HTTP client is sending or to inspect and debug webhook requests.

Web workers

  • HTML Standard: Web workers - an API for running scripts in the background independently of any user interface scripts.This allows for long-running scripts that are not interrupted by scripts that respond to clicks or other user interactions, and allows long tasks to be executed without yielding to keep the page responsive.Workers (as these background scripts are called herein) are relatively heavy-weight, and are not intended to be used in large numbers. For example, it would be inappropriate to launch one worker for each pixel of a four megapixel image. The examples below show some appropriate uses of workers.Generally, workers are expected to be long-lived, have a high start-up performance cost, and a high per-instance memory cost.


Service Workers

  • Service Workers - This specification describes a method that enables applications to take advantage of persistent background processing, including hooks to enable bootstrapping of web applications while offline.The core of this system is an event-driven Web Worker, which responds to events dispatched from documents and other sources. A system for managing installation, versions, and upgrades is provided.

Web Audio API

See also JS libs#Media

  • w3.org: Web Audio API - specification describes a high-level JavaScript API for processing and synthesizing audio in web applications. The primary paradigm is of an audio routing graph, where a number of AudioNode objects are connected together to define the overall audio rendering. The actual processing will primarily take place in the underlying implementation (typically optimized Assembly / C / C++ code), but direct JavaScript processing and synthesis is also supported.

REST


  • https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS - Hypermedia As The Engine Of Application State (HATEOAS) is a constraint of the REST application architecture that distinguishes it from other network application architectures. With HATEOAS, a client interacts with a network application that application servers provide dynamically entirely through hypermedia. A REST client needs no prior knowledge about how to interact with an application or server beyond a generic understanding of hypermedia. By contrast, clients and servers in some service-oriented architectures (SOA) interact through a fixed interface shared through documentation or an interface description language (IDL). The way that the HATEOAS constraint decouples client and server enables the server functionality to evolve independently.

Web Apps


  • WebAPKs on Android | Web Fundamentals | Google Developers - Add to Home Screen on Android does more than just add the Progressive Web App to the users Home Screen. Chrome automatically generates and installs a special APK of your app. We sometimes refer to this as a WebAPK. Being installed via an APK makes it possible for your app to show up in the app launcher, in Android's app settings and to register a set of intent filters.


  • Web App Manifest - This specification defines a JSON-based manifest file that provides developers with a centralized place to put metadata associated with a web application. This metadata includes, but is not limited to, the web application's name, links to icons, as well as the preferred URL to open when a user launches the web application. The manifest also allows developers to declare a default orientation for their web application, as well as providing the ability to set the display mode for the application (e.g., in fullscreen). Additionally, the manifest allows a developer to "scope" a web application to a URL. This restricts the URLs to which the manifest is applied and provides a means to "deep link" into a web application from other applications.Using this metadata, user agents can provide developers with means to create user experiences that are more comparable to that of a native application.
