When deploying anything other than a simple POC or personal website, a reliable application will need Environments. What is the right pattern for implementing environments for local developers as well as shared ones like staging and production?
Let’s look at how Uniform separates your configuration and content. Then look at how we can migrate both to new higher environments as a feature progresses through it’s software development workflow.
Uniform Project
Within Uniform the “Project” is the recommended way to separate configuration and content between environments. The screenshot below shows three projects used for my demo website.
Deploying JAMstack within an enterprise company comes with many
complications due to it’s scale. There is not only the large
number of pages to contend with, there are often restrictions
imposed on how we can deliver the solution.
This was the case at
Nationwide Building Society
where we delivered a new platform and a new JAMstack website. It
was great to be able to talk about our experience at
Uniform’s JAMstack for Sitecore virtual
conference. Rich James and I went
through our experience on Nationwide’s journey to Enterprise
JAMstack.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Bath Digital Festival lunchtime events.
It was really nice to be given the opportunity to speak and then to be able
to talk with so many of you afterwards.

It was great to give a swift tour of Progressive Web Apps for the lovely people at BathCamp last thursday. Here are the slides and an outline of what we went through.
A few things have changed
We now know …
Most people only install apps when they buy their phone
Most people only use common apps and no other
The web platform has now got APIs for previously native-only features
Let’s consider a few situations
The train journey
Content doesn’t know about network service
Speed
Intermittent
Offline
I use this every day
Home screen visibility and easy access is important
It was great meeting everyone last night at the Bristech meetup. It was my first attempt at doing a live coding session. It was a steep learning curve but I was encouraged to chat to a few people who have been inspired to build a game themselves.
What do you get when you mix a few Leap Motion devices, a few eager developers and space invaders?
We found out at the recent Southville JS Workshop in Bristol. I have been excited about getting involved and I think we had a great workshop to finish the weekend off with some light-hearted fun.
Here are some of the key aspects we went through to program a simple Space Invaders controller using the Leap Motion.
It was great to be able to present at Bristol Skillswap last week. I’m new to the west and am really excited about getting involved in the community here.
I took a flight through my recent journey with United Studios Live and the 3d Audio Visualizer built in to their new website.
A whole new world of sound
The Web Audio API has given us loads of great new toys to play with inside the browser.
I had the pleasure of presenting at AKQA Anoraks in London on thursday. It was a great packed evening. I gave a talk on my adventure over the last few months of building my simple Space Invaders game. Even though it’s a pretty simple game I have learnt enough to talk about it or half an hour.
