The document discusses porting a mobile app to the desktop using Chrome Apps. Chrome Apps allow creating multi-platform apps using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that launch independently of the browser. While Chrome Apps provide functionality like local storage and system APIs, there are some limitations, such as no access to OS-level secure storage and interaction with the <webview> is restricted. Overall, Chrome Apps were found to be a promising option for creating multi-platform desktop apps but still have some stability and documentation issues to address.

Easy form creation and validation with Formjackslicejack
Dealing with HTML forms can prove to be a challaging task, especially when it comes to data binding, validation and error handling. That’s why we’ve open sourced Formjack, library that helps you build, render and validate custom forms with just few lines of code.
At the origin there was a monolith. Behind a successful startup often lies a single technology application (Java, Rails, etc.) that grows until it hardly scales with the number of customers and likewise its development process as developers increase. A consolidated strategy on the back-end is to progressively slice the monolith into micro-services. A dual solution on the front-end is to gradually extract HTML, CSS and JavaScript code into a Single Page Application, applying some techniques like the ones I've been maturing during my experience in Workshare.

10 Useful Front End Development Tools for Web Apps | 2020Claritus Consulting
Web development is evolving very quickly, with many libraries and frameworks appearing and replacing other, less efficient, tools. If you want to keep up-to-date with all the latest news and find out what best suits your web application project, keep up with the tools listed below. Check out our latest PPT about 10 Useful Frontend Development Tools for Web Apps 2020.
Here is the blog: http://www.aurorasolutions.io/architecture-workflow-of-modern-web-apps/
In the IT industry the biggest problem we regularly face is the abundance of choice. We have tons of frameworks, languages, tools, platforms, etc. Although for competition purposes; multiple choices are ultimately very good but we usually find ourselves in paralysis when we have to choose among them for our next project.
People usually still consider that (frontend) of web applications are created by mixing together HTML, CSS & JavaScript without giving any thoughts about the frontend architecture, workflow and testing; but things have definitely changed now since last couple of years and in this presentation I try to explain that how JavaScript and it’s related stuff has become first class citizen and how the new workflow looks like. And I will also explain that how the architecture of modern web applications is migrating from thick server-side applications to smart clients and services on their journey North to pure Microservices.
Here is the list of different tools and frameworks that have been discussed in this presentation:
* Yeoman: (http://yeoman.io/) Yeoman is the web’s scaffolding tool for modern webapps. Yeoman helps you to kickstart new projects, prescribing best practices and tools to help you stay productive.
* Bower: (http://bower.io/) Bower is used for dependency management, so that you no longer have to manually download and manage your scripts. Web sites are made of lots of things — frameworks, libraries, assets, utilities, and rainbows. Bower manages all these things for you.
* Grunt: (http://gruntjs.com/) Grunt is a task-based command line build tool for JavaScript projects. When you work on large projects you have couple of things that you do regularly and you would like them to be automated; Grunt is the tool to solve that problem!
* HTML5 Boilerplate: (https://html5boilerplate.com/) HTML5 Boilerplate is a professional front-end template for building fast, robust, and adaptable web apps or sites.
* Twitter Bootstrap: (http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/) Sleek, intuitive, and powerful front-end framework for faster and easier web development.
* Jasmine: (https://github.com/jasmine/jasmine) Jasmine is a behavior-driven development framework for testing JavaScript code. It does not depend on any other JavaScript frameworks. It does not require a DOM. And it has a clean, obvious syntax so that you can easily write tests.
* Karma: (https://github.com/karma-runner/karma/) A simple tool that allows you to execute JavaScript code in multiple real browsers.
* PhantomJS: (https://github.com/ariya/phantomjs/) PhantomJS is a headless WebKit scriptable with JavaScript.

Designing flexible apps deployable to App Engine, Cloud Functions, or Cloud Runwesley chun
Many people ask, "Which one is better for me: App Engine, Cloud Functions, or Cloud Run?" To help you learn more about them, understand their differences, appropriate use cases, etc., why not deploy the same app to all 3? With this "test drive," you only need to make minor config changes between platforms. You'll also learn one of Google Cloud's AI/ML "building block" APIs as a bonus as the sample app is a simple "mini" Google Translate "MVP". This is a 45- 60-minute talk that reviews the Google Cloud serverless compute platforms then walks through the same app and its deployments.

First Steps with Globus Compute Multi-User EndpointsGlobus
In this presentation we will share our experiences around getting started with the Globus Compute multi-user endpoint. Working with the Pharmacology group at the University of Auckland, we have previously written an application using Globus Compute that can offload computationally expensive steps in the researcher's workflows, which they wish to manage from their familiar Windows environments, onto the NeSI (New Zealand eScience Infrastructure) cluster. Some of the challenges we have encountered were that each researcher had to set up and manage their own single-user globus compute endpoint and that the workloads had varying resource requirements (CPUs, memory and wall time) between different runs. We hope that the multi-user endpoint will help to address these challenges and share an update on our progress here.

In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.

4. Requirements:
"Port our iOS/Android app to Windows"
"Just support Windows 7 and that's
enough"
But market demand changes very fast!
We should expect Macs, Chromebooks also in
future.
5. Our app to port from Android/iOS
● Native framework + webview
○ Popular architecture for smartphone apps
○ UIWebView (iOS), WebView (Android)
Native
Framework
webview
OS service,
Storage, etc.
Interact with event callbacks,
JavaScript injections, etc.
Needed something like this, which works on a
desktop client. Great if it works on multi-platform
6. Platforms we considered
● Full-native
● Full HTML5 on a browser
● JavaFX
● Native View + kind of a common backend
● Chromium Embedded Framework
● PhoneGap (Native WebView + common
backend)
● Titanium
● Chrome App
(formerly known as Chrome Packaged App)
7. Chrome Apps
https://developer.chrome.com/apps/about_apps
● HTML + JavaScript
(PNaCL, Dart also available)
● 90% normal HTML5 app
○ Additional chrome.* APIs are loaded in JavaScript
namespace
○ <webview> tag to have another browser in the app,
which runs in a separate context from its parent app
● Launches its own window
○ Not within any browser's tab
● Launcher is bundled with Chrome
○ The app runs on Windows/Mac/Linux/Chromebook
8. Chrome Apps User Experience
● User Installs an app via Chrome Web Store
● Update happens automatically
● User launches the app when it's needed
9. So, looks great…!
● Works on multi-platform
● Don't have to worry about how to
distribute/update
● Programmer can use popular web
technology. No need to learn any new
framework or language
● Has a webview
10. Let's take a look
https://github.com/GoogleChrome/chrome-app-samples
12. Interesting Features
● APIs same as chrome extensions
○ Local storage, etc.
● Low-level system services
○ USB
○ Serial
○ Network Communications (raw TCP/UDP sockets)
○ Bluetooth
14. Problems I faced (1)
● No interface to access OS-level secure
storage (like KeyChain)
● CSP (Content Security Policy)
○ No eval, no inline scripting.
○ AngularJS already has a csp-mode which doesn't
use evals
● No easy way to interact with webview
○ Can inject JavaScript but access limited to the DOM
tree only. No access to the page's namespace (can't
use jQuery for example)
● No WebDriver yet
○ Can't test it's automation… (still seeking how to do it,
help is welcomed!)
15. Problems I faced (2)
● Documents are not very much organized,
and it's sometimes not accurate
○ http://stackoverflow.
com/questions/25883534/chrome-apps-webview-find-
method-is-undefined
● Not stable very much yet
…But it's improving!
16. (Coming next, may be)
● Chrome Apps WebView pitfalls
● Testing Chrome Apps
● Wrapping Chrome APIs as an AngularJS
service
