Setting up Maven to use Grunt/NodeJS
For one of our projects we wanted to automate javascript concatenation/minification/tests and incorporate it into our maven build. While there are a number of maven plugins for those tasks, I’ve found that depending on another technology offered so much more and basically ended up integrating Grunt into our maven build. Grunt is a task runner […]
HTML Canvas
During my holiday I start to read about the HTML5 canvas object which can be used for a variety of graphical presentations or animations. Honestly, I was quite surprised about the possibilities of the canvas element. At first I am going to give a short description about the canvas object. Which is followed by a […]
AngularJS directives for C3.js chart library
For one of our projects we wanted to create some nice charts. Feels like something you often want but do not do because it takes to much time. This time we really needed it. I had prior experience with Highcharts, which is also a nice library. But this time we wanted more control. We had […]

Angular Directives, a beginners guide – part 1
What are directives? To start with Angular Directives we must first know what Google’s Angular team defines as directives, so I copied a little piece form their website and I’ll comment on that. “At a high level, directives are markers on a DOM element (such as an attribute, element name, or CSS class) that tell […]
Internationalization with AngularJS
Many web applications need to support multiple languages. The process of building in this support in a piece of software can be split in two parts: Getting it technically ready to support multiple languages/regions, and getting it ready for a particular language/region. The first part is called internationalization, often abbreviated to i18n (18 being the […]
Dynamic web forms with AngularJS
When we’re building web applications containing data entry forms, it’s sometimes a requirement that (part of) the form is dynamic, in the sense that the fields to be included in the form need to be determined at runtime. For instance, this may be required if application managers need to be able to add new data […]
