Testing Polymer Web Components

For the first time in a long time, I find myself working with something completely new. Web Components will change the way we build applications. But the browser support and completed specs will take time to implement. In the meanwhile, we can use various projects, like polymer, to shim the functionality of web components into today’s latest browsers.

Going Native

Functional composition leads to code maintainability. Also, if I can achieve the same process with native code as with hand-written code, I will always prefer native code (unless I face a performance barrier and hand-written code can help). part was the first library I wrote which I felt got me really close to reusing native code in a pattern which supports functional composition.

Api Testing With Cucumberjs And Promises

CucumberJS helps JavaScript programmers by providing a test harness for the analyst-friendly, BDD language, Gherkin. One of the most recent additions to the project, Scenario Outlines and Examples, gives you even more power to cover derivatives of the “happy path.”
