The Mediterranean Sea in the Era of Global Change 1: 30 Years of Multidisciplinary Study of the Ligurian Sea


 

Due to its particular characteristics, the Mediterranean Sea is often viewed as a microcosm of the World Ocean. Its proportionally-reduced dimensions and peculiar hydrological circulation render it susceptible to environmental and climatic constraints, which are rapidly evolving. The Mediterranean is therefore an ideal site to examine, in order to better understand a number of key oceanographic phenomena. This is especially true of the Ligurian Sea

Why you should learn Mobile Web Development

When I've decided to define 3 courses and levels, I had to include the Mobile Web Development one.
When I tell developers or random folks about such course, they ask me:
"why? come on, I know Web, how different could that be? what's the point?"

Yet Most Websites Still Fail

For instance, I've tried to book a flight yesterday from my Android 5 daily phone which is not even in developer mode and I use the default Chrome browser (I know, shocking, but you gotta test what real world users will see!).
You can see I couldn't do it via this video:

Not That Site Only!

I'm pretty sure they will fix this problem at speed light, and while same operation worked on an iOS based device, it's shocking even most popular or famous websites can fail that bad at very most basic tasks like scrolling!

Few developers still believe Mobile Web is about bringing in some Mobile library and that's it. The amount of different things happening there, different surfing paradigms, and different, really, everything, is the most under-estimated problem we have these days.

And the best part everyone is missing is that you don't need to add libraries on Mobile Web, most likely you need to drop them!

Do You Trust The App?

Every business is apparently laughing at HTML5 and Mobile, offering an App for something they cannot even make it work on a browser.
Apps, are privileged pieces of software so I ask you one thing: why do you trust apps when the easier to develop Web counterpart doesn't even work?

As Summary

You don't have to come to my courses if you think you don't need it, but if you don't test on mobile, you can also stop right now offering poor alternatives nobody cares 'cause nothing works there anyway.
But please, stop saying that HTML5 or the Mobile Web platform is the problem ... it's simply NOT!

Meanwhile ...

I know most followers still have this RSS feed subscription, and they might have missed some of the later updates so here a recap:

  • I've brough Markdown easiness to JS console, it lets you write better logs such console.log('this *is* #green(awesome)!')
  • I've explained how to manage states and diff them, or perform other common operations, through prototypal inheritance. This concept works so well, Netflix reduced its merging performance from 500ms to 60ms.
  • I've talked about my new VR ready, game-centric PC that made me very happy in on a budget as low (for a gaming PC) as £600
  • I've also used latest archibold.io installer to bring Arch Linux from scratch on such PC, and on VirtualBox too for a spin
  • I've finally uninstalled Here Maps from my phone, and discovered the same day the awesome maps.me which is already a great replacement
  • last, but not least, I've created a 100 LOC utility that lets you opt out Babel class transformation, using object literals to define actually native ES2015 classes. The reason is here, while the utility is on GitHub.
Am I forgetting anything? Oh yes, I've soldered together a Raspberry Pi Zero and a WaveShare 3.5" Touch Screen LCD, booting Web Kiosk in seconds, for a device that could be sold with the size of an i-clip and with battery and wifi included for like $35, but nobody gave a damn heck about it so my Kickstarter won't even be proposed.
P.S. I am using Medium more and more, follow me there too (at least until Medium lasts)
