Why would we need intermodular analysis? How does the analyzer benefit from it? Normally, our tool is checking only one source file at a time. The analyzer doesn't know about the contents of other project files. Intermodular analysis allows us to provide the analyzer with information about the entire project structure. This way, the analysis becomes more accurate and qualitative. This approach is similar to Link Time Optimization (LTO). For example, the analyzer can learn about a function behavior from another project file and issue a warning. It may be, for instance, dereference of a null pointer that was passed as an argument to an external function. Implementation of intermodular analysis is a challenging task. Why? To find out the answer to this question, let's first dig into the structure of C++ projects.

The two animation tools that I would like to introduce you to today are not of the run-of-the-mill kind. They are not animation generalists, but rather specialists for small application areas. The JavaScript Granim.js allows you to create animations with color gradients, while Radiobox.css is all about the looks of your radio buttons. Granim.js: Simple Gradient Animations With a Large Impact Granim.js is a fresh JavaScript penned by the Parisian developer Benjamin Blonde. This tiny script lets you animate gradients in, on, and around anything that can be displayed in a canvas element. Using it is Simple: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 <!-- Create a <canvas> element --> <canvas id="granim-canvas"></canvas> <!-- Call the script --> <script src="granim.min.js"></script> <!-- Create a Granim instance --> <script> var granimInstance = new Granim({ element: '#granim-canvas', name: 'granim', opacity: [1, 1], states : { "default-state": { gradients: [ ['#834D9B', '#D04ED6'], ['#1CD8D2', '#93EDC7'] ] } } }); </script> As the JavaScript only weighs a meager 10kb, the overhead can be neglected. This also justifies the application in the smallest possible way, like animating a page logo with a […]

Due to the pandemic, 1000s of businesses went online to avoid closure and remain competitive on the market. This transition strengthened the contest between companies and tech solutions that include programming languages and frameworks. So, running a web project has become more difficult. CTOs and Product Owners can feel FOMO (fear of missing out), considering the number of existing tech trends. The high price for any mistake makes them feel a chill running up and down the spine, especially in the case of large projects.

How about trying a very different drawing technique or illustration style for your next project? Maybe a weird geometric shape? Or a more abstract form? Or a retro-futuristic color scheme? Not sure about you, but holiday or no holiday, my need for some fresh inspiration never stops. This month, I've continued my journey in search for some inspiring and beautiful artwork — and I've found some real treasures! As a designer, I feel that there is so much that I can learn from the techniques and color combinations in these little gems. Let's dive in, and get inspired to leave our comfort zones for our next designs! The post Breaking Out Of The Box: Design Inspiration (August 2016) appeared first on Smashing Magazine.

With the coming of October, what's become an annual event has started back up to encourage contributions to Open Source projects: Hacktoberfest. This is a joint venture between Digital Ocean, GitHub, and Twilio. If you make the contributions, you'll receive a special limited edition Hacktoberfest t-shirt [Here's the rules:] To get a shirt, you must make five pull requests (PRs) between October 1-31 in any timezone. PRs can be to any public repo on GitHub, not just the ones highlighted. The PR must contain commits you made yourself. PRs reported by maintainers as spam or that are automated will be marked as invalid and won't count towards the shirt. This year, the first 50,000 of you can earn a T-shirt (compared with 30,000 in 2017). The guiding principles of the event are to encourage everyone to contribute (make them feel welcome) and to shoot for quality, not quantity. If you're not sure where to start, check out the main page for the event near the bottom of the page for a listing of projects with open Hacktoberfest issues.

One of the most important concepts in JavaScript, as with most programming languages, is the ability to define variables. A variable is a container of a value or data. Some types of variables can later be changed, based on the logic we use in our code. Let's take a look at how variables work in Javascript. Defining Variables There are two main types:
