As much as I enjoyed Ember’s ambition, I’ll admit that I was bearish on the future of the framework. Angular was the next obvious step beyond Backbone and I worried that Ember had bit off more than it could chew. Today Ember may not be as popular as Angular or Backbone, but I am bullish about its future. We’ve seen a growing number of companies using Ember, but to me, it’s all about the benefits for developers.

This screencast shows how you can build an Ember.js application without using Ember Data. It starts off simple and then shows how to build advanced stuff like an identity map yourself.

There is one abstraction that can be used to implement such apparently diverse concepts as exceptions, generators, coroutines and even the backtracking mechanism present in Prolog. This article demonstrates how to use continuations to implement these constructs in a custom, small programming language. Then the implementation of an interpreter for that language is presented. Finally a Java servlet is demonstrated. It uses continuations with server-side JavaScript to simplify writing complex workflows that hide the request/response cycle of HTTP.

By extensively relying on components in your application architecture, you will be able to create an application with parts that are decoupled, reusable and highly maintanable. In this post I will go through how you can create custom components by embedding a third party jQuery plugin, the popular select-2 library.

It was then I realized that most Angular articles and presentations I see tend to walk through the Angular API. Did you know Angular has a factory? What about a service? It does dependency injection, and oh, let me tell you about the data-binding! Even before looking at features I’d probably want to know about real world use cases. How many times have you read a question posted that went something like, “Show me the money!” (Err, I know, it’s not really a question). In other words, what real world apps have been implemented with Angular? It’s one thing to point to a set of websites and say, “Look, that’s Angular.” It’s quite another to talk to someone on a team who built out an enterprise production app.

I was working on refactoring some of my Javascript code for an Angular app when I decided that I would convert most of my client side code to ES6 so that I am ahead of the curve come AngularJS 2.0. I have begun taking baby steps in this direction but information is hard to come by at the moment on using ES6 with AngularJS. I ran into a major hurdle before I could get my rudimentary HelloWorld app running and that is what instigated me to write this post (finally a post after 3 years). Hopefully it will help someone out.

Our application will be split in two — a front-end web client written with EmberJS, and a JSON API powered by ExpressJS — each within their own self-contained project. If you want to use JWT in your Ember Apps today there is a new extension by the team behind Blimp (Jose Padilla and Giovanni Colazzo) for the popular Simple Auth Add-on by Simple Labs.

For most of the 2000’s my goto strategy for application persistence was to use some sort of object relational mapping to persist and read the object structures that I wanted to work with in my code. Sometimes I used hand rolled code to do the mapping, and other times my teams used NHibernate. In the past couple years I’ve been on projects that used the RavenDb document database with mixed success. I’ve also worked on a couple codebases that used an event sourcing strategy to persist meaningful business events, sometimes with RavenDb as the underlying storage engine and another project that uses an older version of NEventStore with Sql Server as the storage mechanism. For various reasons, we’ve chosen to use a Node.js based stack to rewrite an old WPF application that is a suitable candidate for event sourcing on the backend.

While these individual libraries and the resulting custom stack have the potential to do some things very well, the unfortunate reality is that a great deal of the functionality must be gathered together from disparate sources, written in-house and require a dedicated team of maintainers in order to meet the demands of enterprise software development.

We will be using a slush generator named slush-wean to scaffold a basic node webkit, Express.js and Angular.js app. And then we will build our application on top of it. Our application logic is very simple. When the app loads, we will show all the folders right from the root on the left hand side of the app in a tree view. And when a user clicks on the resource, we play that file. Play here refers to viewing an image, displaying a md/log/json/txt file and playing media. A simple app that is more than a “media center”.

I’ve been struggling with understanding when and how to use jQuery inside an AngularJS directive and have the data binding work as expected. I’ve got a good example I put together that shows how to do this as well as shows when you need to use the scope.$apply(). You can see from the below example that in the directive, I am using AngularJS. Because our DOM is being modified outside of what AngularJS can see, it does not have a watch assigned to it and therefore in the AngularJS digest loop, the scope.cntjQuery does not get updated. As we know, the $scope contains the “truth” of this application but if the digest loop is not run then the truth never makes it to the browser. Calling scope.$apply() causes the digest loop to be run.

This is an interactive learning course with exercises you fill out right in the browser. Functional programming provides developers with the tools to abstract common collection operations into reusable, composable building blocks. You'll be surprised to learn that most of the operations you perform on collections can be accomplished with five simple functions:
Here's my promise to you: if you learn these 5 functions your code will become shorter, more self-descriptive, and more durable.

If you’ve been a web programmer for some time, some of the anatomical units are probably pretty familiar to you. Actually most of them probably are, which is one of Ember’s best qualities. If its core architecture is familiar and comfortable to you, you can move around Ember projects simply because they’re all likely to use these same core units. But whether you’re new to each and every unit we’ll quickly summarize here, or an old hand at these concepts but new to Ember, I’m pretty sure you’ll learn something.

The AngularJs $http object returns custom promises which can be surprising when you try to work with them. You can use either .then() or the easier .success() and .error() methods - at the cost of some inconsistency in Promise usage as these extension are specific to the $http functions. In this post I review a few different ways you can use promises and more importantly what the various $http methods return.
