Digital Experience

The holiday season and the looming new year have many of us trying to get our personal priorities in order. But priorities are also essential when strategizing how to improve your digital experience. When it comes to designing, building and implementing top-notch customer experiences it’s vital to have your priorities in order. A great deal […]

In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), Granite UI is the foundation UI framework to build touch-enabled UI consoles and component dialogs. It provides a set of out-of-the-box (OOTB) components that you can use to build consoles or component dialogs. In this blog, I want to talk about a small tech gem that a lot of AEM […]

Most websites have a large number of redirects which they need to manage. Perficient/Digital just contributed a feature to ACS AEM Commons, the Redirect Map Manager, which makes managing these redirects a breeze. First, though why do websites need so many redirects? Redirects can come from: Legacy or Moved Pages / Assets Landing Page Vanities […]

Concurrency issues are both disastrous and difficult to detect in non-production loads. They are more difficult to reproduce than most bugs because they specifically rely on multiple operations happening at/around the same time, which is difficult to reproduce in a development or local environment. Since concurrency bugs are hard to find and diagnose, we should […]

Making a list and checking it twice…  ‘Tis the season for lists. Our children are making lists, and we too are staying organized with lists – both personally and while at work. Whether its all the people you have to buy presents for in your eight-sibling family, or a slightly larger (okay – much, much […]

Use case: pass dynamic values in i18n and get them translated using Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) translator. Let’s say you want to show a pop-up message to end users with their name and the product’s name. You will need to use i18n so that the message gets translated based on the internationalization. The steps below […]

Whenever you write JavaScript, you’re risking creating bugs. The risk of bugs increases proportionally as the amount of code and code complexity increases. There are ways to avoid bugs; I recommend ESLint, JSHint, or a language extension such as TypeScript to help reduce the introduction of bugs into your codebase. This post isn’t meant to […]

Thanksgiving is here again, complete with family, food, and football. With the festive holiday season not far behind, this is the time of year to count blessings and be grateful for all the things that we have. It’s been a great year for digital transformation and experience, with more organizations than ever discovering the need […]

Before we get started, I recommend reading about the revealing module pattern and closure, if you’re not already familiar with them. When you are building components for use in a CMS, it’s important to understand that you have less control over the use of these components than you may initially think. Programming these blocks in such […]

I’m posting a little-known fact to save anyone else the frustration of banging their head against why this doesn’t work for a couple hours: Except for a few specific conditions, you cannot use TouchUI to edit any components under the /etc directory. There you have it! That’s really the crux of the blog post! Of […]

Modular component styles are becoming significantly important in modern UI trends. Handling scalability while decreasing naming convention differences is a necessary step towards code cohesion. Disclaimer: I use a slightly modified flavor of BEM syntax, feel free to use traditional BEM, or some other flavor of your own. When developing UI components, specifically for use […]

I always appreciate a visually appealing site or app. You know how it works: you’re clicking around and come to a website that makes you sit back and think, “Ahh, this is where I want to be.” You might even share the link with a few friends or colleagues. You assume when you dig into […]
