Jasmine is like writing English. It is something easy to read and understand (which is waay cool). Jasmine spec files are normally wrapped on a describe block which receives a string to define what are we describing. They are used to group tests. We can see how we have another describe block which is nested in the previous one with the addition as parameter. See how are we grouping the tests?

Total.js follows the model-view-controller convention to much success. Simply place the relevant code in models/views/controllers folders and you’re good to go. There is also the option to build your own modules by writing custom code which can hook into different events in the web application lifecycle. There’s no lack of Javascript web frameworks, and like any technology toolbox it’s important to use the right tool for the job. While I’ve only just scratched the surface of the framework, I would highly recommend total.js to beginners and experts alike.

Last weekend, I decided to build a single page application to wisely split expenses between friends made during road trips, parties and so on. The frontend uses AngularJS and Gulp for compiling the Less sources. The backend is a Nodejs RESTful API associated to a MongoDB instance. Split.ly must be registration free, easy to use and kind of sexy for the end user.

It’s been over a year that I compiled a list of the best resources to learn the JavaScript framework Meteor.js and back then it was hard to come by any good reading material on the subject. Fortunately, this has changed quite a bit recently, which is why I decided to give this list a complete makeover. Since there has been a lot of change on the road to 1.0 some previously listed resources became outdated, so they were removed from this compilation. But you probably came here to get some inspiration on how to learn Meteor, so don’t let me waste any more of your precious time and get right to the point.

Sails.js is an up and coming Node.js framework, with a focus on freedom and smart defaults. In this article we'll take a look at some of the data features Sails provides out-of-the-box, for easily making complex apps. Sails was created for production, it's not trying to feed you a new syntax or platform, it's a solid base, meant for creating 'client-work' with speed. The contrast may be subtle, but there are a few distinct differences.

This talk is split in two parts: unit testing and E2E testing (we'll get to the difference between those in a minute). There will be drinks in between. Each part is roughly: an introduction with a simple test scenario, how to get the tools up and running and then a bunch of tips & tricks for when it gets difficult. You'll need to supply your own drinks if you're reading this at home.

As I continue to create more applications with Meteor, there are some details about the framework that I wanted to learn more about in order to become a better meteor developer. I went looking to have my questions answered and here is what I found...

You just wanted to add some nice interactive functionality to your Rails app. But then one jQuery plugin turns to three, add a dash of statefulness, some error handling, and suddenly you can’t sleep at night. We’ll walk through using Ember Components to test-drive a refactor until your front-end code is understandable, usable, and extensible. …

The goal of this project is to learn how to build an authentication and authorization mecanism with AngularJS and a RESTful api running on a Node.js server. We can’t use cookies or sessions like an ordinary web application. So, we will use a token mecanism to authenticate our users. When a user sends his credentials, the Node.js server checks that they are correct and answers with a unique token built with the user informations. The AngularJS application stores the token in the user’ SessionStorage and adds an Authorization header containing the token in every requests made after that. If the endpoint is restricted to authenticated users, the server checks the validity of the token and returns the data if the token is valid or a status code 401 otherwise. In addition to that, the AngularJS application checks if the user is logged in and if he can access the requested route. Otherwise, the user is redirected to the login page.

ki is a functional programming language that expands into JavaScript through a very thin layer of sweet.js macros. It is designed to complement JavaScript, enriching it with functional programming idioms and immutable data structures. ki can be used to write entire applications, individual components (e.g. state management) or just functional one-liners. ki syntax and semantics are heavily inspired by Clojure. Thanks to mori, ki incorporates ClojureScript’s persistent data structures and related API.

There are three keys to effective AJAX-driven websites: event delegation, History management, and effective app-wide communication with pub/sub. This blog employs of all of these techniques, and I thought I'd share the simplest of them: a tiny pub/sub module I use on this site. If you've not used pub/sub before, the gist is that you publish to a topic and anyone can subscribe, much like the way a radio works: a radio station broadcasts (publishes) and anyone can listen (subscribes). This is excellent for highly modular web applications; it's a license to globally communicate without attaching to any specific object.
