#LibraryOfTheDay : Modernizr

Modernizr is a small piece of JavaScript code that automatically detects the availability of next-generation web technologies in your user's browsers. Rather than blacklisting entire ranges of browsers based on “UA sniffing,” Modernizr uses feature detection to allow you to easily tailor your user's experiences based on the actual capabilities of their browser.

With this knowledge that Modernizr gives you, you can take advantage of these new features in the browsers that can render or utilize them, and still have easy and reliable means of controlling the situation for the browsers that cannot.

Static Types Are Overrated and Static Types Give You a False Sense of Security


There is no known empirical evidence that static types have a strong impact on bug density.

So in spite of the cool developer tooling they enable, static types don’t actually help reduce over-all bug density by very much. Why?

If you haven’t exercised the code, you really have no idea whether or not it works. Sure, you can know whether or not a variable has been defined, or whether or not a function is passing an array instead of an object, but as it turns out:

- A lot of other ways to catch type related bugs.
