To simplify handling of interactions between a mouse and UI component, I needed to find a well placed abstraction. Such abstraction must be pretty thin, not to overload the types which would derive from it. As initially I have only two changes to the state to handle (background and border change), I decided to introduce HoverableUIObject, which is going to be described in this post.

Working with CanvasRenderingContext2D is quite a fun, but sometimes requires diving deeper into specification to understand more advanced concepts. In this blog post (being the very first article of a series), I’m trying to present how setting a proper value for text baseline affects positioning of drawn UI components.

Just recently I started working with Azure VM Image Builder to find the optimal solution for a business case I’m working on. As always, when working with Azure, time needed to complete a task depends not on the technical complexity, but rather on how mean Azure Resource Manager will be for a particular scenario.
