Flutter has a lot of amazing plugins that make it easy to develop cross-platform apps. Recently, I had the opportunity to work with a theater chain that made use of a map view to show nearby theaters. We used Flutter in conjunction with Google Maps.
In this blog post, we will take a look at the Google Maps Flutter plugin, which allows you to add an interactive map to your iOS or Android app and customize it in many different ways!
So far in this multi-part series, we’ve used Svelte to make the frontend of a Word Puzzle Game, but it does not receive user input, yet. That doesn’t make for a very fun game!
In Part 2 of this series, we’re going to make our game a little more functional. We’ll accomplish the following tasks: (1) allow users to guess a word, (2) manage state for the guesses, and (3) track the correctness of each letter in each guess.
By the end of this post, we will be one step closer to having a Svelte-based, fully functional Word Puzzle Game! Without further ado, let’s get started.
Svelte is a growing JavaScript component framework compiler delivered in a developer-friendly package. Usage of Svelte has been growing – IBM and even Apple (in its newest beta of Apple Music) have been using it for their frontend needs.
For a number of reasons, I think it’s a tool we developers need to get on board with. So, let’s embark on an active learning assignment: making a word puzzle with Svelte!
Recently, I was involved with a project that required the client to collect payments from their customers. This brought up many questions on the best approach to process orders to accomplish this.
We wondered, is a Stripe Elements integration the answer, or can we avoid fees and process payments ourselves? For the vast majority of companies, ourselves included, yes, Stripe is the answer. The complexity of Payment Card Industry (PCI) Compliance alone makes this a no-brainer. In addition, the development of payment infrastructure is very time-consuming and costly.
In this blog, I will discuss Stripe Elements and its integration and the best way to implement them with React. I will cover basic Stripe information, how to set up a Stripe account, and a brief code overview to help you get on your way to incorporating Stripe…
You love frontend JavaScript frameworks, but your client wants a WordPress website… Don’t worry, you can do both! Let’s build a custom backend and API with WordPress!
WordPress provides an out-of-the-box CMS solution that can be customized very easily to fit many different types of projects. You’re not just stuck with blog posts and web pages, either.
In this post, I’m going to show you how you can use a very popular plugin called Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) plus some custom code to create your own content and API endpoints for your fancy new frontend to consume while allowing your client to keep using what they love.
