Today, I am going to take you through the journey of creating an HTML component that mimics a momentary pushbutton component that is commonly used with Arduino and in electronic projects. We will use technologies such as SVG, Web Components and lit-element, and learn how to make the button accessible through some JavaScript-CSS trickery. Let's start! From Arduino To HTML: The Need For A Pushbutton Component Before we embark on the journey, let's explore what we are going to create, and more importantly, why.

Every morning, designers wake up to happily work on their products, be they digital or physical, with an inner belief that people will want to use their products and will have a blast doing so. Perhaps that is a slight generalization; however, as designers, we tend to have a natural desire for each project we work on to be the best it can be, to be innovative and, most importantly, to make a difference.The post Nobody Wants To Use Your Product appeared first on Smashing Magazine.

Tomas Votruba has a post to his site sharing some background on a migration he recently helped perform migrating an application from Nette to Symfony. On the break of January/February 2019, we migrated whole Entrydo project from Nette to Symfony. It was API backend with no templates, but still, it wasn't as easy as I expected. Many coffees and beers were drunk during this migration. 0 programmers were too frustrated to give up. Yet, you'd laugh if you knew what took us the most time. He starts with some of the reasoning why they wanted to make the move and walks through the steps they took to get there: getting ready making a commitment automated migrations > manual changes He also talks about some "WTF moments" they had along the way where code that should have worked wasn't (and the simple issue that caused them).

Welcome back to “how to accelerate WordPress websites.” In the first part of our series, we’ve addressed the importance of the correct web-hosting solution. While doing so, we’ve answered questions on what advantages come with the hosting on SSDs, and why it’s important that HTTP/2 is activated on the server. In this part, we’ll deal with Prefetch and Preconnect, as well as with the effective optimization of images and graphics. Especially images make up a performance optimization’s bottleneck, and at this point, most users fail and quit optimizing, as they simply don’t know how to continue. We’ll also talk about the proper use of Google Adsense ads. 1 – Prefetch and Preconnect Using both techniques is advantageous as soon as many external files and scripts need to be loaded. This includes Google Adsense ad blocks, as well as all other files that need to be loaded from external servers. They are easy to use and come with measurable advantages. The decisive factor is, that the DNS resolution and the so-called handshake are already executed in the initial loading stages of the website, and not at the latest point when the file is requested. DNS – Prefetch <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="//fonts.googleapis.com" /> This […]

Creating a stunning work of art or a visually stimulating web site is not a cakewalk exactly. While creativity plays a big role in the success of any design, there is some amount of mathematics and science involved too. When people see the artwork of iconic artists and maestros like Da Vinci or Salvador Dali, they think of creative genius.

The ace designers and website creators still rely on this time tested … Continue reading →Visit us at InstantShift.com
