JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

Isomorphic means that it's designed to run a lot of the same code on both the client and the server. Typically that includes a lot of rendering and domain logic. (Not to be confused with isomorphisms from category theory / functional programming. That's a totally different thing.)

There are many advantages to building apps this way, but the primary advantages are:

• Cross-functional teams. Since everything is written in JavaScript, it's easier to build teams who know how to work on both the client and server sides of the app.
• Write once, run everywhere. With the exception of a few library substitutions and browser polyfills, the code is shared, which means you have to write about half the code you'd write working on a non-isomorphic app.
• More productive developers. Since the app is more consistent across the stack, there's no context switching when you need to maintain application behavior on both sides of the stack. Write the behavior once, and you're done. Context switching slows developers down significantly.

LoopBack is an open source Node.js framework built on top of Express optimized for mobile, web, and other devices. Connect to multiple data sources, write business logic in Node.js, glue on top of your existing services and data, connect using JS, iOS & Android SDKs.

In this blog post I’m going to show you how to build a VNC client using AngularJS and Yeoman.

We should have a VNC server on the machine we want to control. This machine provides interface accessible through the RFB protocol. The proxy in the middle has RFB client, which knows how to talk to the RFB server. The proxy also provides HTTP server, which is responsible for serving static files to the client and also allows communication through socket.io. The last component in our diagram is the “AngularJS VNC client”, which consists few HTML and JavaScript files provided to the browser by the proxy. This is what actually the user of our VNC client sees. He or she use the form provided in the “AngularJS VNC client” in order to enter connection details and connect to the machine he or she wants to control
