Less than two years later, Chrome browser extension requests opportunity to see other code. Ever wondered how to wrap a Chrome browser extension inside a React component to allow the extension to run as a SPA? The Expired To Be: SPA version does just that.  It is a React alarm component I wrote that wraps and queues alarms in conjunction with the Chrome browser API. Having React stand in as Chrome's storage, queue, and notification platform worked out really well. Although obviously there is the maintenance and understanding of the integral relationship between the two technologies, the same can be said for Redux or any technology that is tightly integrated. SPA History: The Marriage Visual Overview: A detailed schematic outlining the integration between the React 'Alarms' component and Chrome browser extension can be found on GitHub: Expired To Be Page Load Architecture Diagram . As noted in the Expired To Be: SPA article on Sunday, April 2018, "B

Start with a Solid Base Variables are the crux of most programming languages, and a good place to start. You have to be able to ask for, handle, save, and recall various tidbits of information. Q: Why would you want to create a variable?   A: Variables are a part of what allows us to control “app”lications—such as your web browser. Everyone reading this informational on a web browser has the ability to create a variable in less than 30 seconds. For instance, most browsers allow you to open th

After writing about 500 initial lines of code in designing a database schema for a web app, I realized I'd gone and added 150 lines of JavaScript code—for handling 30 lines of JSON data I'd written above that—all directly in my `.sql` file. I often create new 'untitled' documents for temporary storage, but was curious if others might find themselves writing something completely different smack in the middle of their source? Productive tangents? I subsequently relocated the code into its own private `HTML` file, where it can now actually be tested to see if the code runs and all... Keith D Commiskey https://keithdc.com --Update-- The code took a few adjustments, but was able to run as intended. I stripped it out six hours later and streamlined the entire approach, although I wouldn't have found that streamlined approach had I not gone through the pain of initially overthinking it. I will blog the resulting coding tool within a couple days (hint: it's o

The results of teaching my first tutoring course: Background: I took on teaching this class less than two weeks prior to the class starting. I had never taken the course before. I had never formerly taught a class before. The only thing that caught me up was the second week in my correcting some misleading coding standards. I believe the end results (and comments) sum up a lot about me. I start out good , I take a slump (a learning curve to thoroughness), and I come roaring back to finish out the last half of the project with zest, and a much better comprehension of the entire situation (... and accounting for curriculum adjustments ). All in all, I believe—and hope—the students learned something, and if they continue to pursue web development, I hope their learning experience has helped them in their efforts.
