Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/29

I totally agree with the first comment of [Wayback/Archive] Naming Files and Directories the Right Way – YouTube as it holds not just for file management, but for naming anything including software development:

I’ve watched many videos on file management, but this one explains naming very clearly.
  1. 0:31 Rule 1: No Spaces
  2. 2:40 Rule 2: Avoid Special Characters
  3. 3:43 Rule 3: Be Descriptively Concise
  4. 4:24 Rule 4: Case Sensitivity
  5. 5:00 Rule 5: Dates and Sorting
  6. 6:40 Rule 6: Be Consistent!

JavaScript unit testing in the browser without Node.js: Getting Started | QUnit

Posted by jpluimers on 2026/01/29

A cool way to unit-test JavaScript code on the browser side is [Wayback/Archive] Getting Started | QUnit:

To get started with QUnit in the browser, create a simple HTML file called test.html and include the following markup:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Test Suite</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.css">
<body>
  <div id="qunit"></div>
  <div id="qunit-fixture"></div>
  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/qunit/qunit-2.19.4.js"></script>
</body>

That’s all the markup you need to start writing tests. Note that this loads the library from the jQuery CDN.

I was so glad to find QUnit via the below links as I unconsciously wanted such a thing for a very very long time.

You can either run it locally or remotely or from the jQuery CDN as both it

  • is a Node.js module so the source files are all available on the jQuery CDN
  • it does not require the Node.js to load so it can run from any location you want (that CDN, locally or another on-line location)
