Five UX Tips for Better Dashboards
2019 design uxDashboards are often the backbone of a good web app as they can be used to present large amounts of data in a condensed and visual form. In general, the more complex the app is, the more it can benefit from a well-structured, clear dashboard that helps users understand at a glance what the system and the underlying data is doing. We all use dashboards in our day-to-day lives, from the dashboard in our cars to the display on the thermostat that controls our air conditioner. In this case, I prefer to focus on the web ones.
So, how can we, as designers and developers, make sure that our web app dashboard is efficient?

2019 development railsI recently worked on a project for an Australian company who wanted to ensure they were GDPR compliant in how they handled personal data through their website and requests to delete user accounts.
If we want the user and all the associated data (blog posts, comments, etc) deleted, it is easy, we just need to add dependent: :destroy to the relations and Rails takes care of that for us.
The biggest JavaScript OOP gotcha: the 'this' keyword
2019 development javascriptObject Oriented programming is very straightforward for most OOP languages but JavaScript is a bit different.
Given a game creator function, we want to extend the game object so it has some additional methods to increment the score game.scorePoint().
