Aug. 30, 2013 » Anže’s Blog » [Archived Version]

It was just a matter of time until my game development hobby started creeping into my serious work.

The Chrome Javascript editor can do hot swapping

Feb. 10, 2013 » Anže’s Blog » [Archived Version]

Hot swapping is the process of replacing code while the application is running. It allows a developer to see changes immediately - no recompiling, no waiting on page reloads, and no clicking to get to the application state where the code was changed. Just save the file and you’ll see the changes.
