Ecommerce, shopping carts, and the Java classes and events implementation bug
Fun fact about the phrase shopping cart: it’s an American English term. In the United Kingdom, the thing you push around in a grocery store is a trolley. The smaller version you carry around is called a basket in both countries. Online in the UK, ecommerce sites tend to use shopping basket instead of shopping cart. For example, if you look at the Amazon.com site you’ll see “cart”. If you visit Amazon.co.uk, you’ll put items in a “basket”. Regardless of terminology, the functionality is the sa...
Solving auto-tab bugs with focus commands and valid input types
Whether it’s a web or native user interface, automatic tabbing has been the best invention since cooked food. Users can fill out an online form on desktop or phone, with the form guiding them conveniently through by automatically advancing to the next field. What happens if you don’t have focus functionality in place for auto-tabbing? What impact does do incorrect input field types have on the user experience?

Xcode, Android Studio, React js, Angular js, Xamarin, no matter your guilty pleasure for app building, you’ve utilized view controllers.

Transmitted transfer bug and the transport layer of the OSI model
In order to understand transmitted transfers you must first become familiar with the Open System Interconnection (OSI) model, one of the most useful things I learned while studying Information Science. Not only is the OSI model important for understanding network security, it’s important for understanding FTP technology. Developed by the International Standards Organization, the OSI model divides network communication into seven layers. Each layer takes care of a very specific job, and then p...
Email address bug and inline form validation
I felt a sense of nostalgia writing this, so much that I had to look up the history of webforms. In the early days, web forms were used mainly for search and submission tasks. The interface was very basic, HTML-based with no CSS styling. By 1994 we were able to order pizza online. Not long after this, Amazon and eBay launched, both using web forms. Web forms have constantly evolved over the years. What happens if a web form only uses basic validation and data validation?

Disappearing VAT ID bug and undefined prices
For an interview early in my career, I created a website showcasing my javascript scrolling marquee skills. Don’t laugh at me. I know now, that it wasn’t the best way to showcase my talents. Even today, Javascript is used to develop some pretty advanced things, such as storing and defining values for forms. What happens when the field of a form displays an undefined primitive data type or value, rather than the entered value? What happens if users can’t complete sign up because of this?

Confirm password bugs and the conversion rates that hate them
How many times have you registered or signed up on a site with your mobile device? Your big fingers clumsily typing away as you switch your keyboard from text to special characters. Wait, let’s not forget that you also need uppercase and lowercase characters. You’ve entered your password once and now you are being asked to enter it again. It probably made you just want to abandon the form and say, “forget this!” It turns out that you’re not alone.

Expanding on your online presence can include creating a subdomain or getting the right subdomain on another platform or website. What happens if there’s a bug preventing subdomain creation?

Credit card bug testing and the abandoned shopping cart
Online shopping is a way of life for most of us. We shop while in bed, in the car, at work, and even under the influence. That’s right, you read that correctly. Consumers are drunk shopping. According to BigCommerce, one out of ten shoppers admitted to buying something online after drinking alcohol. So why are some consumers still abandoning their carts?
Product sorting bug and data algorithms, a love story
Dear Computer Science majors, everything you learned in data structures class was for online shopping. Nowadays it’s pretty clear what arrays and sorting can be used for. Data algorithms have taken the Internet by storm for quite some time now. However, if you were a CS major in the late 90’s like I was, you probably wondered how they would fit into everyday life.
