JavaScript for Line of Business Applications

Developers creating JavaScript applications these days usually use a combination of MVC, modules, widgets and plugins for their architecture. They also use a DOM manipulation library like jQuery.

Whilst this works great for apps that are built at a smaller-scale, what happens when your project really starts to grow?

In this talk, I present an effective set of design patterns for large-scale JavaScript (and jQuery) application architecture that have previously been used at both AOL and Yahoo amongst others.

You'll learn how to keep your application logic truly decoupled, build modules that can exist on their own or be dropped into other projects and future-proof your code in case you need to switch to a different DOM library in the future.

Glue is a deliberately simple JavaScript application framework, built on top of Liquid.js and jQuery. The library lets you build an application from modules. Each module is stylable with Liquid Markup. And modules communicate with the rest of the aplication through events and through shared getter and setter properties.

The philosophy behind Glue is simplicity and it’s right there in the name: It’s about building modular apps with HTML, CSS, Liquid – and glueing them together with as little JavaScript logic as possible.

RaptorJS is an open-source toolkit for building JavaScript modules and UI components that function on the server and in the browser. RaptorJS promotes modularity, which is crucial to building reasonably complex HTML web applications that are maintainable, easily testable, and optimized. The central goal of RaptorJS is to enable applications to provide the best user experience.

As an eBay project, RaptorJS was designed to be extremely efficient and lightweight. Rather than being a monolithic framework, RaptorJS embraces a modular design; it is intended to work alongside existing JavaScript libraries—not replace them.

Flight is distinct from existing frameworks in that it doesn't prescribe or provide any particular approach to rendering or providing data to a web application. It's agnostic on how requests are routed, which templating language you use, or even if you render your HTML on the client or the server. While some web frameworks encourage developers to arrange their code around a prescribed model layer, Flight is organized around the existing DOM model with functionality mapped directly to DOM nodes.

Not only does this obviate the need for additional data structures that will inevitably influence the broader architecture, but by mapping our functionality directly onto the native web we get to take advantage of native features. For example, we get custom event propagation for free by piggybacking off DOM event bubbling, and our event handling infrastructure works equally well with both native and custom events.

The-M-Project is a Mobile HTML5 JavaScript Framework that helps you build great mobile apps, easy and            fast.

The-M-Project is Open Source Software published under the MIT License. This gives you total flexibility for            your development.            Build great free and commercial apps with it.

When writing a web application from scratch, it’s easy to feel like we can get by simply by relying on a DOM manipulation library (like jQuery) and a handful of utility plugins.

One of the killer features of KidoZen is the mobile line of business(LOB) APIs. This capability extends our mobile backend as a service (mBaaS) layer by enabling the integration with corporate system whether those are hosted on-premise or using a SaaS models. Using our line of business APIs developers can build enterprise-ready mobile apps that seamlessly integrate with corporate systems without having to figure out the intricacies using a super simple and mobile-first model.

pager.js is a JavaScript library based on KnockoutJS and jQuery that provides the possibility of creating single page applications in a declarative fashion - nesting subpages inside subpages where each subpage can be developed standalone but still communicate between each other.

This makes it easier to design very large scale single page web sites.
