A great contemporary and pragmatic approach to front-end web development standards…
This document outlines our de-facto code standards. The primary motivation is two- fold: 1 code consistency and 2 best practices. By maintaining consistency in coding styles and conventions, we can ease the burden of legacy code maintenance, and mitigate risk of breakage in the future. By adhering to best practices, we ensure optimized page loading, performance and maintainable code.
Microsoft’s Internet Explorer dropped to a historic market share low in April, according to Net Applications. The company estimated IE’s market share at 59.95% in April, which is about the range that was reached by Internet Explorer 4 more than 11 years ago in early 1999. The big winner was once again Google’s Chrome browser, which maintained a double-digit growth rate and is now more than 2 points ahead of Apple’s Safari browser, which it surpassed four months ago.

This was clearly a signal that m1.small was not performing well at that load for our application. We decided to switch to c1.mediums. We knew that c1.mediums have 5 EC2 compute units where as the m1.smalls have 1 EC2 compute unit. But we wanted to see how far m1.smalls can take us. The switch totally worked! Cpu bursts stopped. Autoscaling stopped kicking in. We can see the cpu going from 10% to 50% smoothly from non peak to peak hours. This is what we wanted!
Who, in his right mind, expects Steve Jobs to let Adobe (and other) cross-platform application development tools control his (I mean the iPhone OS) future? Cross-platform tools dangle the old “write once, run everywhere” promise. But, by being cross-platform, they don’t use, they erase “uncommon” features. To Apple, this is anathema as it wants apps developers to use, to promote its differentiation. It’s that simple. Losing differentiation is death by low margins. It’s that simple. It’s business. Apple is right to keep control of its platform’s future.
