Chat Architecture Everywhere

Till now Supertext is working on popular chat apps like Facebook Messenger, WhatsApp etc. Now we want to make our on hat app in which we will be having many customized experience.

But on first glance I was swirled with number of awailber options to make the chat app. The only thing came to my mind was:

Real time web - base technologies

In a standard HTTP request-response scenario a client opens a connection, sends a HTTP request to the server (for example a HTTP GET request), then receives a HTTP response back and the server closes the connection once the response is fully sent/received. The initiative always comes from a client when the client requests all the data.

Understanding SOP & CORS

I was doing FreeCodeCamp and in one of the task I ahve to use an API to pull in some quotes. While working on it I was getting Cross origin request are not allowed error. After spending about an hour or so I was able to make it work using jsonp but haven’t understood anything under the hood. So I decided to dig a bit deeper and this post covers that. Also I was shocked while researching about this as there is no resource on the web which is covering the complete story on cross origin. Hope I cover it completely.

Organization github pages and ember

Today we planned to host our website on github-pages as a static website. We decided to used ember web framework to develop this website. In case of organisation/user github pages, github reads the website source from the master branch not the gh-pages branch. This causes an issue: where to keep the ember specific code. As in ember the output code is in dist/ directory. Github needs the code inside the dist directory to be present in the root directory of the project. So the solution is:

Writing cli tools in python

Its been long that I want to automate many things but the creepy and complex syntax of shell scripts doesn’t let me do it. Somedays before while writing a script to monitor the memory usage of any process I decided to learn line scripts in python but never actually did it. Yesterday I saw an article from Vincent about the same topic. So finally I am doing it :)

FreeCodeCamp

I started doing FreeCodeCamp 4-5 days back. Its a really great resource. I think every programming community should provide such training opportunity.

npm Introduction

Today I started with a tutorial to get a brief introduction about MEAN stack. The first thing you need with MEAN stack is node.js. With node.js you get npm node package manager. You might have used it in the past to install some other tools which you might be using. I have used it many times before. Still till now I only knew it’s a package manager. Also I knew that it has capability to install global and local modules. Local is something like you can do with python env. But nothing was clear. So as I read Anna Debenham said in her github-pages article it I also vowed to myself that I will figure it out and will write a blog post.

Garbage Collection

The Java virtual machine’s heap stores all objects created by a running Java application. Garbage collection is the process of automatically freeing objects that are no longer referenced by the program. Many people think garbage collection collects and discards dead objects. In reality, Java garbage collection is doing the opposite! Live objects are tracked and everything else designated garbage.
