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:

Full screen web app in iPhone 5 (save to home screen)
<!-- standard viewport tag to set the viewport to the device's width
, Android 2.3 devices need this so 100% width works properly and
doesn't allow children to blow up the viewport width-->
<meta name="viewport" id="vp" content="initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no,maximum-scale=1,width=device-width" />
<!-- width=device-width causes the iPhone 5 to letterbox the app, so
we want to exclude it for iPhone 5 to allow full screen apps -->
<meta name="viewport" id="vp" content="initial-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no,maximum-scale=1" media="(device-height: 568px)" />
<!-- provide the splash screens for iPhone 5 and previous -->
<link href="assets/splashs/splash_1096.png" rel="apple-touch-startup-image" media="(device-height: 568px)">
<link href="assets/splashs/splash_iphone_2x.png" rel="apple-touch-startup-image" sizes="640x960" media="(device-height: 480px)">

Using amplifyjs as with RequireJS 2.0

Using AmplifyJS with RequireJS 2.0

With the lastest version of Require, a new config object was introduced, the shim.

http://requirejs.org/docs/api.html#config-shim

That allows Amplify to now be used within AMD projects.

Have Fun!

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Launch Sublime Text 2 from the Mac OS X Terminal

Sublime Text 2 ships with a CLI called subl (why not "sublime", go figure). This utility is hidden in the following folder (assuming you installed Sublime in /Applications like normal folk. If this following line opens Sublime Text for you, then bingo, you're ready.

open /Applications/Sublime\ Text\ 2.app/Contents/SharedSupport/bin/subl

You can find more (official) details about subl here: http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/2/osx_command_line.html
