Learn JavaScript concepts with recent DevTools features

Learn JavaScript concepts with the Chrome DevTools

Authored by Peter Rybin , Chrome DevTools team

In this short guide we'll review some new Chrome DevTools features for "function scope" and "internal properties" by exploring some base JavaScript language concepts.

Closures

Let's start with closures – one of the most famous things in JS. A closure is a function, that uses variables from outside. See an example:

# Usage: redis-cli publish message.achannel hello
require 'sinatra'
require 'redis'
conns = Hash.new {|h, k| h[k] = [] }
Thread.abort_on_exception = true
get '/' do

Highcharts tracker now don't prevent default behavior (like scrolling on touch devices).
Highcharts.Chart.prototype.callbacks.push(function(chart) {
var hasTouch = document.documentElement.ontouchstart !== undefined,
mouseTracker = chart.tracker,
container = chart.container,
mouseMove;
mouseMove = function (e) {
// let the system handle multitouch operations like two finger scroll
// and pinching
if (e && e.touches && e.touches.length > 1) {

This is my backup script which syncs my server to my dropbox every day.

The script below is triggered every day from my Mac. I use Hazel to move the tar.gz to an external hard disk once it's finished. This happens every day without me noticing. You can exclude folders if you want to. You probably want to exclude giant cache folders.

You should have a similar script.

If you have a module with placeholder selectors, this pattern will help you avoid outputting them twice if imported twice.
$module-placeholders-defined: false !default;
@mixin module-placeholders {
@if not $module-placeholders-defined {
$module-placeholders-defined: true;
%module-object { color: red; }
%module-object:hover { color: blue; }
}
}
@include module-placeholders;
if environment == :production
on_stylesheet_saved do |file|
# pretty logging output when making a gzipp'ed file
gz_file = Pathname.new("#{file}.gz").relative_path_from(Pathname.new(project_path))
Compass::Logger.new.record(:create, gz_file)
# This generates a file of the same name but ending in .gz
`gzip -f #{file}`
end
end

Static Site Generators

Backstory: I decided to crowdsource static site generator recommendations, so the following are actual real world suggested-to-me results. I then took those and sorted them by language/server and, just for a decent relative metric, their Github Watcher count. If you want a heap of other projects (including other languages like Haskell and Python) Nanoc has the mother of all site generator lists. If you recommend another one, by all means add a comment.
