Is coding on your phone worth it?

hunzombi — Fri, 08 Nov 2024 15:14:33 +0000

Im away from home for a couple of days and I don't have my laptop with me. So I asked myself the question "Can you write code on your phone?". So I searched for an answer. I found out that you can, but IT'S NOT WORTH IT, unless you have something really urgent.
As you would expect typing on your phone is really slow and annoying.
The answer to the question is that you should plan and take notes if you only have your phone and implement it when you have access to a computer.

Today I learnt how to Implement SEO-Friendly Pagination with JavaScript

hunzombi — Wed, 06 Nov 2024 20:53:00 +0000

To make your pagination SEO-Friendly you need to use the rel="prev" and rel="next" tags in the <head> section like so

<link rel="prev" href="#page=1">
<link rel="next" href="#page=3">

These tags tell the search engine that a sequence of pages are connected, which can improve the SEO by helping search engines understand the the content flow and avoid indexing pages as duplicates.

I made a quick demo. Use the inspect tool to see the tags in the <head> section change as you change pages.

Vue's Virtual DOM

hunzombi — Tue, 05 Nov 2024 18:38:37 +0000

Vue's Virtual DOM enables you applications to be scaled easily. It enables efficient communication with the DOM. It simplifies UI state management by serving as a predictable intermediary.
The Virtual DOM minimizes direct DOM interactions. The VDOM calculates the difference between UI states before applying them, due to this only parts that need change are updated. The VDOM can also batch chages to prevent performance bottlenecks where if the changes were uploaded in succession as each of the chages can force a reflow or repaint.
The VDOM also optimizes re-rendering by removing lag or stuttering.

I keep learning everyday :)

Just learnt about Vue.js

I learnt about Vue.js an amazing framework to make development much easier and faster. You can create Components that you can add to the DOM.

Vue.js is amazing for making Single Page Applications. It make integrating logic much easier.
I made a quick incremental game while learning Vue.js, note that the game is only for showing what I made with Vue.js to explore it.
Here is the github repo of the game:
