With frontend development moving as fast as it does at Bitly, things can get pretty messy. We found ourselves with piles of unmanaged script tags and little indication of what was still being used in the app’s current iteration. There had to be a better way! Enter Browserify!

Taunus focuses on delivering a progressively enhanced experience to the end-user, while providing a reasonable development experience as well. Taunus prioritizes content. It uses server-side rendering to get content to your humans as fast as possible, and it uses client-side rendering to improve their experience. While it focuses on progressive enhancement, usability and performance are both core concerns for Taunus. Incidentally, focusing on progressive enhancement also improves both of these. Usability is improved because the experience is gradually improved, meaning that if somewhere along the line a feature is missing, the component is still expected to work.

Catberry was developed to help in creating "isomorphic" Web applications. Isomorphic applications are apps that use the same codebase to run from both server and client-side environments. This means you write the code only once, and deploy it the way you want. Catberry handles all the differences between these two environments, and will make sure the normal JavaScript modules that would need a server-side environment to run will execute without errors inside a browser. The application fits best when developing single-page applications (SPAs) and is also very well documented, helping developers new to the platform easily get acquainted to all of its features. Catberry uses modern technologies like HTML 5, Browserify, Connect, and Express, works on most modern browsers, and can also be extended via dedicated packages. Main features:

I decided to write this article since I couldn't find any source that clearly stated how to integrate both projects. I recommend reading it completely (including references) before coding but then again, that’s your call. Before we start I’m assuming that you have some previous node-webkit and SailsJS knowledge so I’ll focus in the basic integration rather than explaining how to work with them.

In this tutorial I will show you how to use React and Node.js to create isomorphic apps. So, let's start. We are going to emulate a blogging website. Our app should display a list of post titles on the homepage. Clicking on a title will take us to another page where we can see the content of the post. Remember when you request any page (either homepage or detailed post view) you will a get server rendered version. Subsequent interactions will use client side rendering.

For most of the 2000’s my goto strategy for application persistence was to use some sort of object relational mapping to persist and read the object structures that I wanted to work with in my code. Sometimes I used hand rolled code to do the mapping, and other times my teams used NHibernate. In the past couple years I’ve been on projects that used the RavenDb document database with mixed success. I’ve also worked on a couple codebases that used an event sourcing strategy to persist meaningful business events, sometimes with RavenDb as the underlying storage engine and another project that uses an older version of NEventStore with Sql Server as the storage mechanism. For various reasons, we’ve chosen to use a Node.js based stack to rewrite an old WPF application that is a suitable candidate for event sourcing on the backend.

Skipping collaborative apps, these days even a single user needs to sync his/her devices. The device landscape is getting predominantly mobile, so an average user has multiple powerful devices with unreliable internet connections. Popular solutions suck for one simple reason: common sense fails us in distributed systems. Proper sync needs some math like a GPS device needs some relativity formulas. Yes, that is just a box that says your x and y. No, it can’t work by common sense alone; it needs math.

It’s very hard to predict the success of something, and probably even harder when it comes to development, and software engineering. Technology changes every day, but not everyone is capable of following the latest trends. I was pleased to see companies likeNodeGear open up to the public, giving more access to both developers and the curious to explore and learn.

If you’re building things for the web, love JavaScript and haven’t yet discovered hapi.js, you’re missing out. Billed as “a rich framework for building applications and services”, what you’ll find is a feature-rich, battle-tested and rapidly evolving foundation upon which to build your web application.

In this article I’m going to show you that by using the MEAN stack, building create, read, update and delete (CRUD)-heavy applications can be fast and easy. I’m going to assume you have a basic conceptual understanding of AngularJS (angularjs.org), Node.js (nodejs.org), MongoDB (mongodb.org) and Express (expressjs.com).

Last month I noted my opinions on why we should stop using Grunt, Gulp et al. I suggested we should start uing npm instead. npm's scripts directive can do everything that these build tools can, more succinctly, more elegantly, with less package dependencies and less maintainence overhead.

Nemo is a framework and set of conventions for automated testing of web and even native applications. How you use it is only limited by your imagination. A common starting point is to pair Nemo with a task runner (e.g. Grunt) and a test runner (e.g. Mocha). But if you have a different task and test runner, Nemo will work with that as well.

I will teach you how to take advantage of the MEAN stack in becoming a full-stack JavaScript developer. Node.js was created by Ryan Dahl and it’s basically a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime called V8, whose greatest advantage over other JavaScript engines is the compiling of JavaScript code to native machine code before executing it. It uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.

In this week’s post we’ll dive into the fundamentals of garbage collection (GC) in V8 and how it holds the “keys to the kingdom” in the optimization of Node applications. We will also look at some tools to triage GC and memory management issues in V8.

Our application will be split in two — a front-end web client written with EmberJS, and a JSON API powered by ExpressJS — each within their own self-contained project.

Developer Michael Perrenoud describes what it's like for .NET developers who want to explore the MEAN stack -- MongoDB, Expressjs, AngularJS, and Node.js I was standing in the middle of a matrix I'd avoided for a very long time: Microsoft vs. The World. It was a decision I thought I'd never have to make. Here I was, 33 years old and feeling like a dinosaur. Don't get me wrong, the skill set I had wasn't so out of date that it was already dead, but I could feel the market shifting. I knew that if I didn't make a change, in 10 years, I'd be staring down that same barrel those COBOL friends of mine were right now.

End-to-end JavaScript web applications? Thanks to Node.js, this has become a reality, with the added benefit of massive scalability. Despite approaching server-side web applications differently than traditional MVC platforms (like ASP .Net MVC), frameworks have emerged to bridge the knowledge to Node.js. Using one of these frameworks, Sails.js, we demonstrate how the tried and true MVC pattern is applied in Node.js.
