Welcome to the Bugfender winter newsletter! We hope you had a great Christmas and new year. This quarter we’re bringing you a lot of insightful information on our blog. Take a good cup of coffee and find our latest recommended articles below. But first, let’s kick-off with the latest updates as we do on every quarterly newsletter: We hope you find all these updates useful!
To kick off our series on debugging for software developers, we tell you how to build breakpoints step by step using Xcode and breakpoint Android Studio to isolate key information about your app’s performance, and save crucial time during the process.
There’s no doubt which programming language is winning the battle for global supremacy right now. JavaScript has powered past the 12 million developers mark, and 5 million of its loyal fans (some 40%) have come aboard within the last three years. Initially thought of as merely a Java spin-out, it is now used to power everything from machine learning libraries to space exploration robots. But to truly maximize the potential of JavaScript, developers have to implement an effective testing regime.
It’s no exaggeration to say that today’s internet is built on JavaScript. Around 95% of all websites have been built using the language, according to the latest figures. JavaScript has evolved beyond the client side and is now used to construct entire technology stacks, not to mention support databases like pouchdb and RethinkDB.
React Hooks is a new addition to React which enables you to use state and other features of the library without having to create a class. By ‘hooking into’ React’s existing features, you can significantly reduce the number of concepts you have to grapple with, and you can create custom hooks to share all kinds of non-visual logic, making your code much more reusable.
As developers, we’ve traditionally rooted out errors in our programs (we’ll call them bugs from now on if that’s ok) by using meaningful log statements. JavaScript has the famous console.log() method for that. But while log statements are good, they are less efficient than a tool that enables you to carry out step-by-step debugging. So in this article, we will learn how to use Google Chrome developer tools (also known as DevTools) to debug any JavaScript application effortlessly.
Kotlin Multiplatform apps are a great option for big projects. They allow us to unify the business logic under a Kotlin module while using the latest perks of each platform’s individual UI, significantly reducing development costs. Debugging in Kotlin Multiplatform is easy, as you can use typical tools like adding breakpoints and printing logs in the console – and in Bugfender. Continue reading for a full tutorial. KMM stands for Kotlin Multiplatform Mobile.
This quarter we’ve been working on many improvements that will make your life easier when catching those sneaky bugs, and expand Bugfender’s capabilities with some of the most requested features: We hope you find all these updates useful!
In this article, we explain how you can remotely debug and troubleshoot production errors in your React Native App. For this, we will use the Bugfender free integration to enable a real-time log and be able to follow what users are doing with your App.
Here we try to explain how to solve any bug or error that your App created with Angular may have and that may be affecting your users without them or yourself knowing it. For this we will use a remote debugger and logging for Angular using the Bugfender library.
