Other Experiences

Maintenance and development of the JavaScript library dollardom

Since 2011
I used this library in a project at Orange. Because it was unmaintained, I decided to maintain it on my free time. This library is interesting because it abstracts only the minimal set of the browser functions that show compatibility problems.
  • Corrected bugs
  • Developed some unit tests
  • Set up a build system based on GNU make
  • Added functionalities: event abstraction, chaining "like jQuery" API
Environment: JavaScript, Jasmine, GNU make

I enjoyed transforming the one file that was sent to me into "a real project", with all the functionalities I want.
