Just the other day I was finally fed up with managing a website with FTP and switched to website hosting with Git. In hindsight I don’t understand why haven’t done this transition a long time ago. It is so much more convenient and setting it up is really just a matter of minutes. This article […]

Sencha Touch native packaging for iOS done right

20th October, 201320th October, 2014 Marcel Stör7 Comments

Intro There are a number of tutorials out there on the Internet that tell you how to do Sencha Touch native packaging for iOS. The subject is also covered pretty well in the Sencha Touch docs.

Techniques how to use ellipsis in table columns

23rd March, 201326th October, 2013 Marcel StörNo Comments

The CSS3 text-oveflow property allows to have content not exceed a certain limit. Browsers can be asked to place ellipsis, the … “character”, after the last visible character rather than just cutting content off. It’s a nice visual indication for readers that there’s actually more content than what is shown. Later you’ll learn techniques how […]
