Hot module replacement comes to StealJS
StealJS 0.10.0 just landed with a new feature that could change the way you develop: live-reload. Live-reload is an extension for Steal that speeds up development by eliminating the need to ever refresh your browser. It does this by intelligently reloading modules that become stale as you change your code. This technique is also known as "hot swapping" of modules. Steal doesn't refresh the page, but only re-imports modules that are marked as dirty. The result is a blazing fast development experience. See live-reload in action:

Using CanJS 2.2 with StealJS and NPM
CanJS has always been fully modular and can be used with different module formats like AMD or CommonJS and installed via Bower or NPM or the direct download. When using a module loader - unlike many other frameworks that simply provide a UMD wrapper for the entire library - CanJS will only load the dependencies it really needs.

Combining Documentation with Prototypes
UX designers have long used documentation as a means of communicating functionality and interaction for digital products. It has been successful for a long time and thousands of digital goods have been delivered using this process. However, as our industry evolves, so do our processes and tools. Documentation alone is no longer enough. And prototypes on their own, do not provide enough detail. Bitovi combines documentation with prototypes to deliver a comprehensive handoff experience and project archive.

How a UX Designer Saves You Time and Money in Development
Make sure you’re building the right user interface before you build it. The old adage, "Measure twice, cut once" applies to digital projects, as well.
In this post, I'll explain the value of having a user experience designer from the perspective of our own process at Bitovi.
