SlickGrid Touch: Making complex JavaScript widgets work on mobile devicesreebalazs
The document discusses making the SlickGrid JavaScript table widget compatible with touch devices. It describes adding touch support by using the Hammer.js library to translate desktop events to touch events, and styling changes using Bootstrap to improve responsiveness. A demo application called "fastbreak" was modified to use these techniques, allowing complex data grids to work on mobile. While progress was made, the touch version of SlickGrid is still a work in progress with bugs remaining to be addressed.
The document discusses plans to merge jQuery UI and jQuery Mobile to create code that works across all devices and environments. Key points include:
1) Creating a shared CSS framework and responsive widgets for layouts and user interfaces.
2) Developing techniques like SVG icons with PNG fallbacks to optimize performance across different platforms and devices.
3) Building a common widget factory and APIs to create reusable and customizable interface elements that work with or without JavaScript.
4) Continuing to improve form controls and other widgets to provide consistent styling and interactions across all form factors.
Transforming Front-End Disaster Code™ Into A Maintainable MasterpieceDan Gribbin
This document summarizes strategies for transforming unmaintainable front-end code ("Disaster CodeTM") into organized, high-quality code through proper planning, separation of concerns, performance optimization, and stakeholder communication. It outlines how the author's team improved their codebase ("Neptune") by adopting modular patterns like MVC, optimizing page load times, and collaborating on standards. The document stresses that upfront planning, separation of functionality, and ongoing maintenance are crucial to developing software that is sustainable, performant, and a pleasure to work with.
JavaScript MV* Framework - Making the Right ChoiceDmitry Sheiko
This document discusses JavaScript MV* frameworks and recommends Exoskeleton as a lightweight alternative to popular frameworks like AngularJS and Backbone. It compares the frameworks based on code size, community support and complexity. While frameworks provide structure, Exoskeleton extends Backbone to be faster and more customizable. The document argues Exoskeleton allows more control over code and fewer dependencies than larger frameworks. An example TODO app demonstrates how to use Exoskeleton.
Flexible UI Components for a Multi-Framework WorldKevin Ball
Slides from Flexible UI Components talk given at Web Unleashed 2017
Build UI components that work seamlessly in every JavaScript Framework.
Your core UI elements shouldn’t have to be different for your marketing site than they are in your application just because the former uses jQuery while the latter is built using Angular or React.
Lessons learned from work on ZURB Foundation 7.
This document discusses improving website performance. It outlines three pillars of performance: visibility, interactivity, and responsiveness. For each pillar, it recommends books and techniques. Tips include using tools like Firebug and YSlow, delaying initialization, throttling and debouncing events, and profiling code. While optimizations can improve performance, they also increase costs. The document emphasizes establishing a baseline and focusing first on low-hanging fruit before more complex optimizations. It concludes by thanking the sponsors and providing contact information.
Unit testing involves writing small tests for individual units or functions of an application to ensure they work as expected. Tests should be written from the start of a project to prevent bugs and regressions. Unit tests allow for collaborative work by different contributors, help automate catching errors, and produce more reliable code by testing features as they are developed. While unit testing requires upfront effort, it saves work in the long run by reducing unexpected bugs that would otherwise be found by users. The testing framework QUnit can be used to write unit tests in separate .js files and run them from an index.html page.

This document appears to be a presentation about using Node.js at Netflix. It discusses how Netflix uses Node.js to build lightweight, modular applications with a RESTful API and JavaScript everywhere in order to reduce complexity. It also covers why Netflix chose Node.js, how everything is built as modules, asset management, templating, build processes, leveraging existing infrastructure, embracing the JavaScript ecosystem, automating processes, and failing fast to move quickly.
jQuery Mobile presentation by Todd Parker of Filament Group. Most of the talk was in the demos so this is pretty short:
http://jquerymobile.com/demos/1.0a1/
This document discusses strategies for adding features to jQuery plugins without causing bloat. It suggests using metaplugins that handle cross-browser compatibility issues and provide core functionality. Wrapper plugins are also proposed to extend existing plugins through extension points like callbacks. The document uses the Treeview plugin as an example, explaining how an AsyncTreeview wrapper plugin was created to add Ajax support by wrapping the Treeview plugin instead of modifying it directly. This allows features to be added modularly without changing the original plugins.
The document summarizes the state of the jQuery project in Fall 2010. It discusses how project funds have been and will be spent, including on server infrastructure, developer time, design work, and conferences. Governance rules and a contribution path for new developers are being formalized. The copyright for a book is being transferred to the project. A CLA process and store selling t-shirts have launched. jQuery 1.4.3 and related plugins improved performance, modularity, CSS, and the development process. Finally, jQuery Mobile is a new framework to build sites for all mobile browsers and platforms.

Azure functions and container instancesJohn Staveley
This document discusses using Azure Functions and Container Instances to interact with a website without using virtual machines. It presents the Page Object Model pattern for maintaining a representation of web pages. Selenium is used to drive a browser within a Docker container to interact with the website. Azure Container Instances host the Docker container in Azure. Polly provides reliability by implementing retry and circuit breaker policies. The solution achieves the goals of interacting with a website daily without additional cost by using serverless Azure Functions and container-based hosting with on-demand billing.
Choosing the best JavaScript framework/library/toolkitHristo Chakarov
This document compares several major JavaScript libraries, frameworks, and toolkits to help determine which is best for a given project. It defines the differences between libraries, frameworks, and toolkits. Features like modularity, code structure, utilities, and user interface capabilities are compared for libraries like jQuery, MooTools, AngularJS, BackboneJS, Dojo and YUI. Considerations around when to use MV* patterns and support, community, and usage statistics are also discussed.
AngularJS is a client-side JavaScript framework that allows developers to create single page applications. It provides two-way data binding, MVC architecture, templates and custom directives to help build testable web apps that can scale. Some key features include data binding, controllers, expressions to dynamically display data, modules to organize code, and services to handle back-end communication. Overall, AngularJS streamlines web development by handling many common tasks like DOM manipulation, data binding and communication with backend services.

Web, Native iOS and Native Android with One Ember.js App
with Alexander Blom
OVERVIEW
Many companies maintain a separate repo for web and native mobile applications, and sometimes yet another for mobile web. Historically you may hear that ‘wrapped applications’ are slower and choppy. This is no longer the case – if your application is structured correctly.
By using Ember.js with Cordova, it is possible to have a single code base powering all four (desktop web, mobile web, native iOS and native Android). Outside of the immediate cost/programming time savings, this technique enables you to build future iterations faster and stop the out of sync issues plaguing many code bases (e.g. the Android app has different features to iOS).
OBJECTIVE
Learn how to write a single code base which works on all platforms without the presumed drawbacks.
TARGET AUDIENCE
Developers/managers working on one of the three mentioned platforms, and who wish to no longer maintain separate code bases for each platform.
ASSUMED AUDIENCE KNOWLEDGE
A general knowledge of how either backend, front-end or mobile applications are developed is helpful.
FIVE THINGS AUDIENCE MEMBERS WILL LEARN
How to build a single code base working on all platforms
What changes (if any) are required in the code base to achieve this
How to avoid common draw-backs of wrapped applications, such as perceived slowness
How to access native phone functions without muddling up the code base
How such applications are packaged and deployed
EmberJS is a JavaScript framework for building rich front-end web applications. It uses conventions over configuration, data binding, and Handlebars templating. The architecture of EmberJS includes a router, controllers, views, templates, and models that follow specific naming conventions. An example application is provided that demonstrates how to build a company list with employees using EmberJS, Ember Data, and LocalStorageAdapter to manage relationships between models.
Building Apps with React Native - Lessons LearnedAlexandra Anghel
React Native allows developers to build real mobile apps using React. It uses the same fundamental UI building blocks as regular iOS and Android apps. Some key lessons include:
1. Navigation libraries like React Navigation are powerful but have learning curves and limitations.
2. Native UI components and APIs like the camera require extra configuration for cross-platform support.
3. Offline support requires careful handling of caching, storage, and networking.
4. App publishing involves platform-specific processes for both iOS and Android like certificates, permissions, and approval times.
This document provides an introduction and overview of single page applications (SPAs) using AngularJS as an example framework. It discusses what SPAs are and why they are used, including how they allow a more native-like user experience. It then walks through setting up a sample SPA project for managing todo lists and categories using AngularJS, including creating routes, controllers, services and templates to support basic CRUD operations. The goal is to help understand the key concepts and setup needed to build a basic SPA.
Sails.js makes it easy to build custom, enterprise-grade Node.js apps. It is designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails, but with support for the more modern, data-oriented style of web app development. It's especially good for building realtime features like chat.
This document discusses integrating Browserify and CommonJS dependency management into Rails' asset pipeline Sprockets. It describes:
1) Limitations of Sprockets for managing JavaScript dependencies and the benefits of using Browserify and CommonJS.
2) How to integrate Browserify into Sprockets using a custom Tilt template that runs Browserify to bundle dependencies.
3) Enhancing the build pipeline to transpile ES6 code using a Browserify transform.
The document discusses using generators to automate common tasks in Rails applications. It recommends modularizing and gemifying reusable code to create generators. The benefits of generators include consistency across projects, reduced copying/pasting of code, and time savings. The document provides examples of generating gems, updating applications to Rails 3, and customizing generator templates. It also discusses best practices like keeping Gemfile.lock up to date and using files instead of git branches.

The document provides an overview of the history and evolution of the Rails web framework from 2006 to 2013. It discusses how Rails initially aimed to make web development "easy" but this led to issues with code quality. It then outlines how conventions and best practices developed over time to structure Rails applications according to the MVC pattern and provide guidance on testing, deployment and other aspects of developing with Rails. The document also notes that many advanced Rails topics were not covered.
This document provides an overview and agenda for a presentation on TorqueBox, which allows running Ruby on Rails applications with enterprise capabilities by running them on the JBoss application server. The presentation covers how Rails applications can be deployed on TorqueBox to gain access to services like the web container, message bus, and databases. It also discusses how additional features like scheduled jobs, asynchronous task queues, and SOAP endpoints can be integrated by following Rails-like conventions.
This document summarizes and compares several popular web application frameworks: Ruby on Rails, Grails, Flex, and Google Web Toolkit (GWT). It discusses the REST support and one-to-many capabilities of each framework. It also compares performance and supported platforms. The document concludes that the choice of framework depends on the specific application requirements and recommends prototyping with each framework before selecting one.
Over the last few years, Airbnb’s frontend architecture has evolved to keep pace with the rapid advancement happening the JavaScript world. Starting as a humble Rails 2 + Prototype.js app in 2008, the frontend stack powering airbnb.com has gone through a few revisions, including a push towards single-page app architecture with Backbone.js and Handlebars.js, an adventure into isomorphic JavaScript with Rendr (our library for using Node.js to server-render Backbone SPAs), and most recently, a move toward React.js and a re-envisioning of our build pipeline to take advantage of CommonJS, ES6, and a Node.js-based transform system. Spike Brehm, software engineer on the @AirbnbNerds team, will walk through how we approached and executed on these changes. Plus, get excited to see a preview of our new approach to isomorphic JavaScript, allowing us to server-render React components from our Rails app.
Spike Brehm is a software engineer at Airbnb who specializes in building rich web experiences. As a JavaScript nerd, he has spent the last few years shipping web apps and prototyping Airbnb’s front-end stack, experimenting with “isomorphic JavaScript” — apps that have the flexibility to run on both the client and sever using the same codebase.
1) Polyglot or hybrid programming uses multiple programming languages on the client side, with JavaScript as the target platform. This allows leveraging the strengths of different languages while avoiding JavaScript's weaknesses like weak typing.
2) Frameworks like GWT and Dart compile other languages like Java and Dart respectively to JavaScript, allowing their use in web apps while preserving features like static typing. They interface with JavaScript via APIs.
3) An event bridge pattern allows different language parts to communicate asynchronously by publishing and subscribing to messages, avoiding direct interop and enabling clean separation of concerns.
The document discusses various JavaScript tools and techniques for developing mobile HTML5 applications. It lists Node, Backbone, Underscore, Handlebars and Redis as popular frameworks. It also provides tips on debugging mobile apps, optimizing for battery usage, addressing HTML5 limits on mobile, and using features like web workers, offline storage and geolocation.
This document discusses how to create mobile apps that feel native using only web technologies. It covers supporting features in Mobile Safari like local storage, CSS3 features, and geolocation. It recommends using web technologies over native due to quicker iteration times. Specific techniques covered include detecting browser type, adding home screen icons, startup images, going full screen, and viewport settings. The document also discusses frameworks like jQuery Mobile but notes native DOM APIs may be sufficient. It covers input features, touch vs click, animations, locking orientation, and performance tips. It acknowledges limitations of Android and webOS and recommends testing on actual devices. Finally, it discusses hybrid mobile frameworks like PhoneGap and Titanium that allow developing for multiple platforms using one code
The document discusses how a shared codebase approach can be used to develop apps for multiple platforms like iOS, Android and Windows Phone. It proposes using portable JavaScript and SQL for the shared application logic layer. Platform-specific UI layers would be built using the respective native technologies like Core Animation on iOS and Qt on Android. Data and events can be shared between the native and JavaScript layers through platform-specific APIs. This allows halving the porting effort while building a more robust cross-platform product by focusing on the UI instead of duplicating the application logic on each platform.

From Backbone to Ember and Back(bone) Againjonknapp
As a software consultant, I get to see a lot of interesting code. In this particular instance a client was in the process of transforming their web application to a rich, interactive interface with the help of another company.
The project kicked off using Backbone and things were great. Until they were not great. Pages starting getting more and more involved and blame started being thrown at the technology choice.
A move to Ember.js ensued and the app was rewritten. But architecturally bad decisions don't hide long, and soon the rewrite was preforming even worse. That's when I stepped in, with the help of another consultant, to solve the performance issues once and for all. Our solution used Backbone.js and it was fast. This is that journey.
The document discusses Ruby on Rails, an open-source web application framework. It is optimized for programmer happiness and productivity by favoring convention over configuration, allowing developers to write code more quickly. Ruby on Rails uses a model-view-controller (MVC) architecture and is widely adopted by companies like Twitter.

Modular JavaScript in an OSGi World - S Makmfrancis
What percentage of your web-app is written in JavaScript? Don’t be surprised if it’s more than half of your codebase. With the advent of HTML5 and single-page-applications driven by RESTful backends, the amount of JavaScript keeps growing. On the Java side, OSGi allows us to create modular, flexible applications. But how does this translate to the client-side? Isn’t a ‘single-page-application’ fundamentally at odds with modularity?
In this session we take a look at the currently available tools for modularity in JavaScript. There are several ways you can combine existing JavaScript module systems with OSGi-based development on the backend. We discuss tradeoffs between these different approaches based on real-world experience with large JavaScript front-ends and OSGi back-ends. In particular an example combining OSGi, RequireJS and AngularJS is presented. Along with practical advice based on current technology, we also look forward at relevant upcoming standards such as Web Components. After this session you’ll have a solid grasp of modular JavaScript development in an OSGi world.

LF Energy Webinar: Carbon Data Specifications: Mechanisms to Improve Data Acc...DanBrown980551
This LF Energy webinar took place June 20, 2024. It featured:
-Alex Thornton, LF Energy
-Hallie Cramer, Google
-Daniel Roesler, UtilityAPI
-Henry Richardson, WattTime
In response to the urgency and scale required to effectively address climate change, open source solutions offer significant potential for driving innovation and progress. Currently, there is a growing demand for standardization and interoperability in energy data and modeling. Open source standards and specifications within the energy sector can also alleviate challenges associated with data fragmentation, transparency, and accessibility. At the same time, it is crucial to consider privacy and security concerns throughout the development of open source platforms.
This webinar will delve into the motivations behind establishing LF Energy’s Carbon Data Specification Consortium. It will provide an overview of the draft specifications and the ongoing progress made by the respective working groups.
Three primary specifications will be discussed:
-Discovery and client registration, emphasizing transparent processes and secure and private access
-Customer data, centering around customer tariffs, bills, energy usage, and full consumption disclosure
-Power systems data, focusing on grid data, inclusive of transmission and distribution networks, generation, intergrid power flows, and market settlement data
From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMsSease
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation ParametersSafe Software
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.
You’ll leave this webinar with a better understanding of how to maximize the potential of automations by making use of attributes & automation parameters, with the ultimate goal of setting your enterprise integration workflows up on autopilot.
