JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

Finch helps web designers and developers test their development sites on multiple devices without the need for lengthy deployments or public staging servers.

Before we get in too deep let’s evaluate why we felt a desktop (as opposed to a command-line) app was needed:

1. Simplicity: Finch should ‘just work’ for as many people as possible; the rich interface offered by a desktop versus command-line app gives us a better crack at making this happen
2. Compatibility: Although Node.js and npm (both required to install the command-line app) are free, open-source and widely compatible, installation often proved troublesome for users less experienced with terminal interfaces
3. Reach: A by-product of the previous factors; by making the entrypoint simpler and more accessible we’d hope to attract, and interest, a far broader audience.

The definitive guide to TypeScript. Dive into all the details that a JavaScript developer needs to know to be a great TypeScript developer

Now that we’ve discussed how AngularJS fits into Web development as a framework for building rich client side Web applications, we’ll move on to the Model-View-Controller (MVC). So, let’s dive right in by examining how the MVC pattern is implemented in AngularJS and how that drives your application development.

Take a look at competing DOM manipulation libraries and find out which one is faster with a performance benchmark!

In this post we will explore three technologies to build dynamic DOMs. We will also run benchmarks and find out which one is faster. At the end we will share with you why we choose one of them for our projects. Read on!

Want to learn Webpack or React? Get started for free and build a Kanban board by following the example project.

SurviveJS - Webpack and React shows you how to build a simple Kanban application based on these technologies. During the process you will learn to:

1. Set up a Webpack based development and production environment. You will learn to get most out of react-hot-loader and Babel for development.
2. Improve the quality of your code by using ESLint and friends to spot possible mistakes earlier.
3. Get into the React mindset while learning the basics of Alt, an implementation of Flux Application Architecture.
4. Style your React application in various emerging ways.
5. Implement drag and drop for your application using React DnD.

In this post, I’m going to walk you through building your own Speech Recognition web app that uses many of the same technologies and techniques that my team did in building Ayni’s speech recognition tool. We’re going to work through:

• Downloading & installing Meteor
• Adding the necessary packages
• Recording speech from your laptop microphone
• Getting a transcript of the recording using the Haven OnDemand API

We’re going to focus on the most interesting aspect of the project: Getting a text transcript of you speaking to your microphone.

Vue.js makes everything easy. Creating seemingly complex applications becomes super simple and is something that can be done in much less time than previously. We will demonstrate this by creating a Github file explorer that will allow us to explore files in public Github repos. All the code for this post can be found on […]

CSS layout is historically notable as the foremost cause of countries going to war, mental health issues, and countless physical confrontations between humans and technological devices. Angular Material has redeemed the sins of our CSS patriarchs by making layout simple. At some point or another, we have all Googled “How to layout two divs side by side” and eventually “How to center element vertically in CSS”.
