JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

A collection of awesome browser-side JavaScript libraries, resources and shiny things.

We all know the major players in JavaScript projects. MV* frameworks like AngularJS, Backbone, and Ember.js are inspiring a whole new breed of client applications. Utility libraries like underscore and lodash simplify constructs once reserved for academic exercise. And of course, the monolithic namespace jQuery is everywhere. The large teams and growing communities behind these projects (a little corporate backing never hurts) are moving forward and providing very solid platforms for developers to build upon. However, they are merely a precursor for the renaissance that is happening in the world of JavaScript right now.

This week is Computer Science Education Week and even President Obama is helping out with the Hour of Code initiative. We know that a lot of people are thinking about trying to learn how to code (which is totally awesome). It is definitely not too late for anyone to learn, but most people have no idea where to even start. If this sounds familiar, this is the post for you. Since everyone needs a website or has an app idea, the focus of this post is on programming languages that can be used for web or mobile app development

First, what is front-end vs. back-end development? Front-end web development describes the visual, user-friendly layer of the website that the user interacts with and is used to collect inputs. Back-end web development uses the inputs that come from the front-end and is composed of servers, applications, and databases. Information is stored by the application in the database, which lives on the server. Mobile development incorporates both front- and back-end development components, but is mostly front-end.

A great analogy from a General Assembly front-end developer explains that if a website is a car, then the internal components of the car that you can’t see, but that make it run would be the back-end and the things you can touch/use/hear to make the car move or that make it cool/fun are the front-end.

Let’s dive in to the fun part, what are the best tutorials to use to learn how to code?

JavaScript is the third pillar of front-end web development. Of those pillars, it is both the most powerful and the most complex, so it’s understandable that when 24 ways asked, “What one thing do you wish you had more time to learn about?”, a number of you answered “JavaScript!”

This article aims to help you feel happy writing JavaScript, and maybe even without libraries like jQuery. I can’t comprehensively explain JavaScript itself without writing a book, but I hope this serves as a springboard from which you can jump to other great resources.

Developing Ember.js apps for production is nothing like what you see on the tutorials or guides around the interwebs. Most guides just throw some code on an HTML file and maybe two or three extra JavaScript files. That’s not how it works in a real world scenario.If you are working with any of these client side JavaScript frameworks you need to deal with modules, pre-compiling templates, source maps, css pre-processors, linting and minification of files. It’s a lot of stuff.Lucky for us in the Ember.js camp there’s a lot of stuff going on.

This is a list of must-watch videos devoted to JavaScript

Having worked on various enterprise Angular projects our teams have been faced with myriad challenges to overcome and has quite a bit of “in the trenches” experience. I share what I can with other developers through my various blog posts, by answering questions on StackOverflow and through a large collection of JavaScript fiddles. I also realized early on that Angular is a very important library and began recording a video course to help others Master Angular JS. The course has grown to well over 8 hours of content (yes, a full DAY of Angular!) and there are still several lessons left to record. In this post I organize some of the content and resources I’ve created as a guide to help you link into information, code snippets, and other information that may help you build your Angular apps.

No other site has gathered all these slides. We bugged every speaker to get them and we are still fighting to get the 3 missing ones. Hope you enjoy this!

Here we have gathered a mashup of all videos and slides for all sessions at the conference.

A quick reference to best practices for writing JavaScript -- links to code patterns and tutorials from around the web

This is a JavaScript guide intended to introduce new developers and help experienced ones to the JavaScript's best practices.

Despite the name, this guide doesn't mean exactly "the right way" to do JavaScript.

We just gather all the stuff from top developers and put here. Since it come from exceptional folks, we could say that it is "the right way", or the best way to do so.
