JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

This book will get you over the initial bump of comprehending Ember and give specific advice on how typical tasks should be carried out to work with the framework and not against it. The main concepts and building blocks of Ember are going to be introduced by way of building an actual application. The application will get shinier (and/or more robust) with each chapter helped by the Ember concept introduced in the same chapter. This way, not only will you learn about the Ember concept, you will also see how it can be used in a real application.

I like React. But React can't do everything, and there are things that make no sense to do as a React component, like plain JS functionality. For instance, if you want an image manipulation component, then by all means write it, but you're not going to also include all the code for the under-the-hood image processing library. You want to keep that separate.

What's still missing?

That post didn't cover everything, and hopefully it left some questions on the table, so let's address those: what's still missing?

I wanted to go over some of the common security holes I have found recently, why they happen, and how you avoid them!

Autopublish serves up all the data in your database to the client. This actually has both security implications, through too much exposed data, and potential performance issues because publishing everything could overload the server and pushing too many records to the client side at once will cause it to lock up for a few seconds while it all loads.

It’s an important service for WebRTC applications as it removes the overhead of deploying your own network ofSTUN and TURN servers.

Throughout this post I will share how I got started with it building out a video chat application with WebRTC. Then you can spend fewer late nights wondering which callback you missed or which message you haven’t implemented yet and more time waving at your friends and thinking of cool applications for this technology.

In this post, I explore various object oriented JavaScript design patterns. An intermediate level of JavaScript knowledge is required to get value from this post. Before we get started exploring the various patterns below, it’s worth reviewing a couple key things about JavaScript objects.

Free web application framework for building Web sites and Web applications using JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

Total.js is the free web application framework for node.js and contains all modern features for creating rich web applications. Its core contains own web server for serving static and dynamic content. It supports streaming, uploading, image resizing, automatic content compression and many more. The framework is fast and flexible.

The framework does not contain any dependencies.

WebDriver is great, but since a lot of javascript events are happening in the background it’s very difficult to write a easily usable DSL to manipulate the UI. One has to wait for ajax calls to finish, for DOM elements to appear or disappear, and so on. Tests became instable and failed sometimes, even sometimes on the CI build but never on your development environment. It takes more and more time to find & fix those things.

Siesta is a product from Bryntum especially written to unit test Extjs applications, focussing on the UI. Sounds nice, so we decided to check it out as a possible alternative to WebDriver

LumX will help you to design beautiful applications, faster and easier. We’ve built it based on google guidelines, respecting metrics in a pixel perfect way.

It provides a full CSS Framework built with Sass and a bunch of AngularJS components.

A quick look at some of the efforts the Chrome team are doing to helps developers get started with Web Development and iterate on their sites.

These are some of the efforts from the Chrome team to help developers get up to speed with web development.

This article introduces the capabilities of these tools and how to use them, and even provides some code examples.

The first thing we need to do is install Ionic. Follow the installation instructions provided on the Ionic Getting Started page. (Note that Ionic has a dependency on NodeJS, so the instructions will require you to install that as well if you don’t already have it on your machine).

The AngularFire 5 minute tutorial is a great place to begin getting familiar with Firebase. And if you’re a “tinkerer” or a tactile learner like me you may want to pull my implementation from GitHub and start playing with the code.

Peter looks at how to call a JavaScript function from your TypeScript code and do it in a type-safe way. Along the way, he dramatically simplifies a Backbone application by integrating Knockout.

In this post we'll be comparing node.js and javascript application flow using callbacks, the async library and highlands streams.

I wrote a book called If Hemingway Wrote JavaScript in which I imagine 25 famous novelists, poets and playwrights solving simple problems in JavaScript. It’s part homage to my favorite writers and part love letter to JavaScript, the only language I know with enough freedom, creative potential and downright quirkiness to pique the interest of the literary greats.

This post contains original material that’s not in the book (think of it as one of those “behind the scenes” bonus features). It’s the first in a series of deep technical dives into each author’s solution. Some solutions require more explanation than others.

Enjoy!
