In deze presentatie legt Hans Kuijpers tijdens Joomladagen 2015 #jd15nl uit hoe je Bootstrap 3 framework verwerkt in Joomla en waar je op moet letten.
The document discusses the evolution of the web from progressive web apps to native mobile apps and back again to progressive web apps. It notes that early mobile web faced issues like small screens, poor connectivity and unreliable browsers, leading to the rise of native apps. However, app distribution issues like slow updates and the "walled garden" approach of app stores have led to a renewed interest in progressive web apps that work offline but do not require app stores, allowing for more open distribution like the original web.
It is extremely common that parts of pages within a Joomla! website are replicated across several views, or even across several extensions. So what does Joomla! contain that could potentially make our lives easier to manage these repeating entities?
JLayouts enters the room...
Joomla's superb JLayout structure was added to Joomla! v3 to help solve this very problem. Having the ability to use different layout's and associated data across views and extensions is such an awesome addition to Joomla!, but have you used it?
Philip will be explaining JLayouts, what it is, how it works & where you could possibly be missing a trick in your front-end development of Joomla! websites.
Building a PWA - For Everyone Who Is Scared ToRaymond Camden
This document provides an overview of building progressive web apps (PWAs). It discusses the key technologies needed for PWAs including manifest files, service workers, and app shells. It provides examples of how to add a manifest to enable installable web apps, how to cache assets using service workers, and how to send push notifications. While Safari and iOS do not fully support these technologies yet, the document notes they are being developed for future releases.
1. The document discusses the debate around relying on JavaScript for web applications and progressive enhancement.
2. It argues that while JavaScript can break, the web has evolved to focus more on capable client-side devices rather than availability of JavaScript.
3. It suggests embracing new paradigms like components and functional programming to build high quality, error-handling code rather than avoiding JavaScript.

Tools that help speed up responsive web development include HTML5 boilerplates to avoid duplicating code, frameworks like Bootstrap and Foundation that provide grid systems and styles, and tools for testing designs across screen sizes like browser plugins and emulators for simulating mobile devices. Common responsive design testing tools include browser plugins that allow resizing the viewport, online services that emulate different devices, and emulators for iOS, Android and other mobile platforms provided by their respective developers. Frameworks aid development through grid systems and prototyping, while testing tools help ensure responsive designs work well on varied screen sizes.
Using a Joostrap template, Philip will be explaining & demoing how you wire frame a website right in your browser and why it will save you load's of time.
There are no fancy plugins here! This is wire framing for your client, built directly in your browser & saving you untold hours messing around in other software.
It is so hard sometimes, trying to get across to a client with a few drawings how the functionality of something could work. Wire framing directly in the browser gives your client a working wireframe/prototype where they can interact with links, pages & concepts. Not only that, but after client approval, you just have to style your working wireframe/prototype or switch to the template that is using the same module positions... It's a win win situation!
HTML5 is hot right now and a lot is being said about it. It is time to take a look at what it means to apply it on the web and see how things work out. Turns out we still have a lot to fix and we need your help.

Accessible Javascript with and without WAI ARIADirk Ginader
The document discusses making JavaScript accessible. It states that JavaScript content should be at least as accessible without JavaScript, nothing should be withheld from non-JavaScript users, and assistive technologies should be able to use the page. It emphasizes that websites must work without JavaScript first, and that CSS should not be used for interaction or hiding content. The document then introduces WAI-ARIA as a way to add semantics and meaning to elements for screen readers through roles, properties, and live regions. It encourages using WAI-ARIA but also not relying on it exclusively.
The document discusses optimizing websites for mobile by taking a responsive design with server-side components approach. Some key points include:
- Mobile websites are often slower than desktop due to network latency, bandwidth constraints and device processing power.
- Responsive design helps but does not fully optimize sites for mobile as it does not reduce unnecessary downloading.
- A responsive design with server-side components (RESS) approach can reduce downloading by serving optimized content tailored for each device from the server.
- RESS utilizes device detection to identify the requesting device and serve the most efficient content and styles for that device from the server.
The document discusses the challenges facing the progressive web and introduces progressive web apps (PWAs) as a solution. PWAs are built using modern web standards to provide native app-like experiences through features like push notifications, offline support, and app installation. They address issues with native apps like high installation friction, lack of control for publishers, and app store policies. PWAs are gaining adoption from companies like Alibaba and Housing.com who saw increases in user engagement metrics after implementing PWAs. The document outlines the core components of PWAs and provides an overview of browser and platform support.
Chris Heilmann gave a talk celebrating beautiful web sites but noted that many sites could be more optimized. He highlighted that the average site is over 2 MB in size, with images making up over 1 MB of that. Many sites use unnecessary libraries, send high resolution images to all devices, and include autoplay videos without checking connection speed. However, newer browser capabilities like Flexbox, Service Workers, and camera/microphone access provide opportunities. Sites should cut unnecessary code, optimize images, and leverage new technologies to create accessible experiences for all types of users on today's capable browsers.

It provides code examples and encourages further reading on mobile web best practices.
The document discusses retrofitting an existing web interface called Prism to be mobile-friendly. It describes adapting the interface with an adaptive layer using CSS media queries and JavaScript to adjust layout for small screens. When building for mobile, only essential elements are kept visible, with non-essential elements hidden but revealed as needed. Specific lessons learned include using specificity in CSS, avoiding hacks, and only including necessary functionality for mobile to cope with smaller screens and stubby fingers.
Web Apps and Responsive Design for LibrariesMatt Machell
This document discusses responsive web design for libraries. It argues that responsive web design, which creates a single website that adapts to different screen sizes through flexible grids and media queries, is the best approach for libraries to take for their mobile presence. Native apps, separate mobile sites, and other approaches each have drawbacks, as they require more maintenance and do not allow for a unified experience across all devices. The document advocates for a responsive design that can provide a quality experience on any device using existing web skills.

Progressive Enhancement 2.0 (jQuery Conference SF Bay Area 2011)Nicholas Zakas
In the beginning, progressive enhancement was simple: HTML layered with CSS layered with JavaScript. That worked fine when there were two browsers, but in today's world of multiple devices and multiple browsers, it's time for a progressive enhancement reboot. At the core is the understanding that the web is not print - the same rules don't apply. As developers and consumers we've been fooled into thinking about print paradigms for too long. In this talk, you'll learn just how different the web is and how the evolution of progressive enhancement can lead to better user experiences as well as happier developers and users.

User Interface Library (YUI), Pipes for visually combining web data sources, design patterns, and access to Yahoo! experts. It highlights several examples of mashups built using these resources and encourages developers to build their own mashups using the "ingredients" Yahoo! provides.
Stefan Judis "Did we(b development) lose the right direction?"Fwdays
Keeping up with the state of web technology is one of the biggest challenges for us developers today. We invent new tools; we define new best practices, everything’s new, always... And we do all that for good user experience! We do all that to build the best possible web – it’s all about our users.
But is it, really? Or do developers like to play with technology secretly loving the new and shiny? Or do we only pretend that it’s about users, and behind closed doors, it’s developer experience that matters to us? Did we lose direction? Is it time for a critical look at the state of the web and the role JavaScript plays in it?
Now you see me... Adaptive Web Design and DevelopmentJonas Päckos
Progressive enhancement is still an important approach for building responsive websites and web applications. While JavaScript can now be assumed to be widely available, progressive enhancement avoids single points of failure and improves performance by loading critical content first before non-essential enhancements. The distinction between websites and applications is also blurred, so progressive techniques remain applicable to most digital experiences on the web.
The document discusses different approaches to using JavaScript libraries, including plug-and-play widgets, libraries that require some coding, and writing raw JavaScript from scratch. It then examines popular open-source JavaScript libraries like Prototype, jQuery, Yahoo UI, and Dojo, comparing their features, functionality, and widgets. The ideal library should have a robust core feature set along with user interface widgets, active development and support, and good documentation.
Hacking the Mid-End (Great Lakes Ruby Bash Edition)Michael Bleigh
The document discusses hacking the "mid-end" of web applications, which is defined as the layer between the front-end and back-end that focuses on abstraction. It provides examples of solving "mid-end" problems by building functionality without JavaScript first, then adding an interactive JavaScript layer. Specific techniques mentioned include helpers, partials, jQuery, and making the user interface faster, more accessible, intuitive and responsive.
This document discusses using jQuery with Drupal. It provides an overview of jQuery and its benefits over JavaScript. It then discusses guidelines for using jQuery in Drupal modules and themes, such as adding JavaScript files with drupal_add_js() and defining behaviors. Examples are given of simple DOM manipulation with JavaScript, jQuery, and best practices for jQuery in Drupal.
Performance is important for user experience. While some myths exist around performance, such as XML being much slower than JSON, tests show they are essentially identical. Easy techniques can improve performance, such as using content delivery networks and image compression. Emerging standards like HTTP 2.0, server-side push, and WebSockets allow pushing data to clients. Frameworks like MessagePack provide smaller binary serialization. Proper use of threading, reusing elements, preloading, and prioritizing content can also boost performance. The perception of speed matters - even 100ms delays impact user behavior.
The document discusses various JavaScript libraries including Prototype, jQuery, Yahoo UI, and Dojo. It compares the libraries across categories like core functionality, widgets, architecture, licensing, browser support, development, and documentation. The core functionality discussed includes DOM manipulation, events, AJAX, and animations. Popular widgets provided by the libraries include drag and drop, trees, grids, modal dialogs, tabbed panes, menus/toolbars, datepickers and sliders. The document also covers considerations for the libraries like licensing, browser support, ongoing development, and quality of documentation and tutorials.
The document discusses mashups and widgets. It defines mashups as combinations of content from multiple sources and describes different types of mashups, including music, videos, and web applications. It then introduces the concept of the "mashup pyramid" which categorizes tools for creating mashups from high-level graphical tools to low-level platforms and APIs. The document also defines widgets as single-function applications and discusses different types of desktop, web, mobile, and physical widgets. It provides steps for creating a basic RSS widget and discusses widget packaging formats.
The document discusses JavaScript libraries and compares several popular options. It covers the core functionality that libraries should provide, including DOM manipulation, events, AJAX, and animations. It also discusses user interface widgets and components commonly included in libraries.
