Agile user stories are deceptively simple things. In agile software development approaches, they've become the most popular practice for describing software we'd like to build. The idea is simple: write on an index card or sticky note a single thing your software could do from the user's perspective. Use this card, along with all the others you write, as "tokens for conversation" to work through all the details we'll need to understand to plan, construct and test software. But, this is where thi...

Written by two leading developer...

How often do you hear people say things like this? "Our JavaScript is a mess, but we're thinking about using [framework of the month]." Like it or not, JavaScript is not going away. No matter what framework or "compiles-to-js" language or library you use, bugs and performance concerns will always be an issue if the underlying quality of your JavaScript is poor. Rewrites, including porting to the framework of the month, are terribly expensive and unpredictable. The bugs won't magically go away, a...
