Nice simple addon to add a loading animation to your Bootstrap buttons, when doing Ajax requests. Always better to let users know, that your system is doing something ;)
„The picture element, srcset and sizes attributes, and associated features allow web developers to deliver an appropriate image to every user depending on a variety of conditions like screen size, viewport size, screen resolution, and more. Picturefill enables support for the picture element and associated features in browsers that do not yet support them, so you can start using them today!“

Angular reaches BETA status. Time to start playing with it … Perfect for the holidays :)
With NativeScript und React Native you will be able to build native Android- und iOS-Apps as well.
Just a couple of links that deal with the usage or testing of structured data.
Structured data is not yet relevant for content rankings, but that might change in the future (Hangout).
„Structured data markup“ is a standard way to annotate your content so machines can understand and categorize it. Proper usage elevates the way data is displayed on Google Search, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and many others, when one of your content links is posted there.
Really looking forward to the JSON-LD integration :)

Some time ago I said: „My perfect framework, is a set of solid singular solutions that have proven themselves over the years. Working solo or together in harmony“.
Here is a list of some of my core components, that I use in combination or standalone.

define('jquery', [], function() { return jQuery; }); |
NOW you can live happily ever after :)
This is basically the core stack that I use to build out ideas :) While Angular is always an option, the above satisfies most of all needs and is often far slimmer. The rest depends on how you organize your code yourself, but at least you are not forced into fixed structures ;)
Flarum is new elegant next-generation forum software. It provides a touch optimized two pane layout with floating composer.
The backend runs on PHP/MySQL.
„The tracking.js library brings different computer vision algorithms and techniques into the browser environment. By using modern HTML5 specifications, we enable you to do real-time color tracking, face detection and much more“
„This repository is a community-curated list of flexbox issues and cross-browser workarounds for them. The goal is that if you’re building a website using flexbox and something isn’t working as you’d expect, you can find the solution here.“
With inline content being loaded via ajax, you are loosing a lot of interesting usage data. These can be tracked using Google Analytics Events or by sending a Pageview.

(function($) { track = { config:{ pageName : "Your Page", eventSelector : ".trackEvent a, .trackEvent", pageviewSelector : ".trackPage a, .trackPage", }, init : function(){ $("body").delegate(this.config.eventSelector ,"click", function(){ // Navigation / Readmore / Apply / FAQ / Contact / Share var cat = $(this).attr("data-track-cat") || "Navigation"; var action = $(this).attr("data-track-action") || "Click"; var label = $(this).attr("data-track-label") || $(this).text() ; this.sendEvent(cat, action, label); }); $("body").delegate(this.config.pageviewSelector, "click", function(){ var label = $(this).text() +" - "+ this.config.pageName var page = "/"+label.split(' ').join('-').toLowerCase()+"/"; this.sendPageview(page,label); }); }, sendEvent: function(cat, action, label){ ga('send', 'event', { 'eventCategory' : cat , 'eventAction' : action, 'eventLabel' : label, 'eventValue' : 1 }); }, sendPageview : function(page,label){ ga('send', { 'hitType': 'pageview', 'page' : page , 'title' : label }); } }; /* INIT */ track.init(); })(jQuery); |
The above allows to automate tracking by attaching simple classes and use HTML5 data attributes to assign category, action and label. Direct tracking is also possible. Lets split it up :)

$("body").delegate(".trackEvent a, .trackEvent","click", function(){ // Navigation / Readmore / Apply / FAQ / Contact / Share var cat = $(this).attr("data-track-cat") || "Navigation"; var action = $(this).attr("data-track-action") || "Click"; var label = $(this).attr("data-track-label") || $(this).text() ; this.sendEvent(cat, action, label); }); |
This monitors links with the class .trackEVENT attached and fills the event data using HTML5 data attributes. All attributes have default values assigned.
A possible link would look like this:
|
1 |
<a href="#" class=".trackEvent" data-track-cat="Subscribe" data-track-action="View" data-track-label="All my news!">Subscribe to my news!</a> |
The sendEvent function than sends this to Google Analytics.

$("body").delegate(".trackPage a, .trackPage", "click", function(){ var label = $(this).text() +" - "+ this.pageName var page = "/"+label.split(' ').join('-').toLowerCase()+"/"; this.sendPageview(page,label); }); |
Much simpler, this just gets the element text and submits the click as a new Pageview. The label gets the pagename attached and the actual page url is constructed from the label. The sendPageview function than sends this to Google Analytics.

track.sendEvent(cat, action, label); track.sendPageview(page, label); |
Really simple and effective way within a simple OnePager or a bigger web application. BTW I am using delegation to make sure that also links within AJAX content can be tracked.
We are getting closer to Boostrap 4 and I really love what we are getting with the first alpha version.
