來用 Sketch 畫你的 UI 吧 | VISIONCAN 在之前就聽說過這個黃黃的鑽石 Sketch 來畫 UI 相當好用，就趁當時 Sketch 3 推出時入手了，再親身體驗過後，我推薦用 Sketch 來畫你的 UI，以下跟大家簡單分享幾個我回不去 Photoshop 的特點: 超方便的圖片匯出 因應 Retina 的螢幕，Sketch 可以很方便的一次輸出多個倍數匯出，傳統用 Photoshop 可能得先輸出 2x 再去縮 1x，另一個好處是 Sketch 是向量的，可以先畫 1x 再輸出 2x 甚至更大 3x，若要支援甫推出的 iPhone 6 Plus 可說是無痛升級 3x!註: 其實 Photoshop 也是可以向量，只是用起來不那麼方便! 我之前的作法給大家參考一下，由於我是使用 Macbook Retina 螢幕，所以我是先畫 2x，再去縮放 0.5 倍及 1.5 倍: 另一個亮點就是不用特地隱藏其它圖層可以直接輸出我要的圖層，過往使用 Photoshop 得先隱藏某些圖層才能再輸出(Save to Web)，但若是用 Sketch 的 slice 切片功能還是得隱藏部份圖層就是。 輸出還有一個很方便的功能，就是在預覽區裡就可以直接使用拖拉輸出圖片了，一個動作就將檔案加到寄件附件裡! 相對間距顯示 按下 option 再移動可以方便的知道物件間距是多少，透過不同物件中移動可以很快速的知道相對的座標及間距或是否有置中。 多層的填色、外框、陰影 元素可以有很多層的填色、外框等，效果可以疊加，另一方面在單一元素的 A/B test 很好用啊~ 建立可重用 symbols、text styles 這也是我覺得 Sketch 很大的一個亮點，把元素轉成 symbols，像是一個模組一樣可以重複使用，要修改是同步的，假如以一個 iOS App 來說，我有個畫面都各有一個褐色的 Navigation Bar，萬一要改成白色底、字體，在 Photoshop 要怎麼作? 背景模糊 我覺得這是針對 iOS7 來的吧!! Artboard 也算是一個 Sketch 的特色，一個檔裡可分很多 Page，而 Page 裡可以放很多 Artboard，可以想像 Artboard 是 App 中某個 Tab 裡每個流程畫面，而用 Page 來區分不同 Tab，另一個也是不錯用法就是利用不同的 Artboard 來作 app 的各種 size 的 icon。 結論:
13 Essential Tools to Check Cross-Browser Compatibility With an endless combination of modern and legacy browsers for users to choose from (depending on their system capabilities), it's our responsibility as designers and developers to ensure the websites we build perform adequately. Testing multiple browsers on multiple platforms isn't just difficult — it can be virtually impossible without the correct resources. However there are tools that let you comprehensively test your website, and check if it successfully displays across various browsers, platforms and resolutions. That way, your users will receive a positive, user-friendly experience no matter what their setups are. Below is a curated list of both free and premium cross-browser testing tools, ranging from cloud platforms to desktop applications. These tools will help you easily test everything from versions of Internet Explorer versions to more than 300 modern browser combinations. Show As Gallery Have something to add to this story?
Dos and Don’ts in JavaScript A few best practices for when you’re learning the language With every programming language, there’s a list of do’s and don’ts and JavaScript is no exception. Some of these best practices are there for your protection (like always always always using semi-colons!), some to make your code more readable and less error-prone, and some to increase the efficiency of your code. If you search for “best practices JavaScript” you’ll find lots of great information on the topic. In this installment of Head First JavaScript Programming Teasers, we take a look at a few common best practices that will help make your code more readable, make the best use of the language, and make your code a bit more efficient.
Schepp/CSS-Filters-Polyfill Become a Professional JavaScript Developer with Tuts+ Courses A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, JavaScript was a hated language. In fact, “hated” is an understatement; JavaScript was a despised language. As a result, developers generally treated it as such, only tipping their toes into the JavaScript waters when they needed to sprinkle a bit of flair into their applications. Ironically, it turns out that much of what the development community hated had very little to do with the JavaScript language itself. Luckily, the community has matured immensely since those days. The Basics As a first step into these waters, an understanding of the fundamentals will prove essential. JavaScript FundamentalsWithout a doubt, JavaScript is the most popular programming language in the world. Advanced JS FundamentalsThis follow-up course will focus on DOM scripting and events. Object-Oriented JavaScriptJavaScript is not a strict object-oriented language, but it does have the features of one. The Wonder of jQuery jQuery on the Go Modern Frameworks Tools
HTML5 Cross Browser Polyfills · Modernizr/Modernizr Wiki The No-Nonsense Guide to HTML5 Fallbacks So here we're collecting all the shims, fallbacks, and polyfills in order to implant HTML5 functionality in browsers that don't natively support them. The general idea is that: We, as developers, should be able to develop with the HTML5 APIs, and scripts can create the methods and objects that should exist. Developing in this future-proof way means as users upgrade, your code doesn't have to change but users will move to the better, native experience cleanly.

Mozilla JavaScript JavaScript (JS) is a lightweight interpreted (or just-in-time compiled) programming language with first-class functions. While it is most well-known as the scripting language for Web pages, many non-browser environments also use it, such as Node.js, Apache CouchDB and Adobe Acrobat. JavaScript is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm, single-threaded, dynamic language, supporting object-oriented, imperative, and declarative (e.g. functional programming) styles. JavaScript's dynamic capabilities include runtime object construction, variable parameter lists, function variables, dynamic script creation (via eval), object introspection (via for...in and Object utilities), and source-code recovery (JavaScript functions store their source text and can be retrieved through toString()). This section is dedicated to the JavaScript language itself, and not the parts that are specific to Web pages or other host environments. Looking to become a front-end web developer? Get started
3 Solutions for Supporting Internet Explorer In the beginning, Internet Explorer was the progressive browser. After a period of inactivity, Internet Explorer became the bane of our existence. Microsoft has since recommitted to their browser but the fact remains that sometimes modern Internet Explorer is lagging just a bit behind WebKit-based browsers and Firefox. We also need to accommodate for earlier versions of IE. htmlshiv.js Remy's HTML5shiv creates HTML5 elements like main, header, footer, etc. via JavaScript. selectivizr.js Selectivizr.js is an incredible resource, polyfilling loads of unsupported CSS selectors and properties, including the all-important last-child.

This snippet doesn't require or wait on JavaScript, and isn't near the weight of a JavaScript library.
TodoMVC JSON The JSON object contains methods for parsing JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) and converting values to JSON. It can't be called or constructed, and aside from its two method properties it has no interesting functionality of its own. DescriptionEdit JavaScript Object Notation JSON is a syntax for serializing objects, arrays, numbers, strings, booleans, and null. It is based upon JavaScript syntax but is distinct from it: some JavaScript is not JSON, and some JSON is not JavaScript. The full JSON syntax is as follows: JSON = null or true or false or JSONNumber or JSONString or JSONObject or JSONArray JSONNumber = - PositiveNumber or PositiveNumber PositiveNumber = DecimalNumber or DecimalNumber . Insignificant whitespace may be present anywhere except within a (numbers must contain no whitespace) or (where it is interpreted as the corresponding character in the string, or would cause an error).

Basic JavaScript for the impatient programmer This blog post enables you to get started with JavaScript as quickly as possible – if you already know how to program. It describes the smallest subset of the language that allows you to be productive. I call that subset “Basic JavaScript” and recommend to program in it for a while, before moving on to more details and advanced topics. Learning everything at once is too confusing. The post concludes with tips for what to learn next. Warning: Below, I’m describing rules of thumbs and best practices. Table of contents Conventions used in this blog post Command line interaction Whenever I introduce a new concept, I also try to illustrate it via an interaction in a JavaScript command line.
