    To Navigate, Or Not To Navigate?

    Routers are powerful tools in Single Page Applications, and Kendo UI's router provides an API to wrap up this power. But the API hides a lot of potential complexity and performance issues if you're not careful. Calling the navigate method without regard for the current context of the application and whether or not that context is changing can result in unwanted re-rendering of the entire application. This can reduce the responsiveness of the app, waste time re-drawing content that isn't changing, and cause a lot of flickering on the screen - and none of this is desirable from a user's perspective.

    Is This Thing On? (Part 3)

    This is Part 3 of a four part series where we explore some of the tools available to detect and manage online/offline connectivity in web/mobile applications. In Part 1 we looked at the available APIs for detecting connectivity state (and the woes associated with them). In Part 2 we wrote a hand-rolled abstraction to manage using these APIs together and began to see elements of a state machine emerge from the chaos. In this post we're going to drive the state machine stake deeper by exploring how we can keep our FSMs from violating SRP, and set the stage for using multiple FSMs together to model more complex application behavior.

    Making A ListView Timeline

    The timeline has become a ubiquitous part of our user experience. It started with Facebook and Twitter, and now Pinterest and the Google+ interface have given us a new take on the same concept: display a list of items to the user. As they scroll down the page, add in the next batch of items. Sometimes those new items are added automatically (ala "endless scrolling"), and often there is a "push to load more" button, like in Instagram's new website.
