    Single Page Apps, Progressive Web Apps and classic Server side rendered websites are often seen as orthogonal approaches to building web apps where only one is best suited for a particular project and one has to make a choice to go with one of them. In this post we'll explore why that doesn't have to be the case, since all 3 approaches can actually be combined in order to achieve the best result.

  12. Factories best practices

    by  Andy Brown

    Writing tests is like drinking beer 🍻. When you first try it, the taste is really quite unpalatable, but everyone else around you is doing it and they seem to be enjoying it. You've heard about all the benefits of it, people won't stop telling you how great it is, how it changed their lives for the better. Also there is a lot of peer pressure and judgement involved, don't be that dev... so you conceal your grimace and keep trying it, on a daily basis here at simplabs. And just like beer, in no time at all, on a long hot day, when you feel yourself tiring of writing all those features and tweaking all that CSS, you realise that what you need to relax is to write a good, concise, logical, cool and refreshing test. At least that's been my experience and I want to share a few tips for factories so that your tests are easy for your friends, colleagues, the next developer to read.
