Stylus. Twitter Bootstrap 101: Introduction. Twitter's Bootstrap is an excellent set of carefully crafted user interface elements, layouts, and javascript tools, freely available to use in your next web design project. This video series aims to introduce you to Bootstrap; taking you all the way from downloading the resources, to building a complete Bootstrap-based website. When Mark Otto (@mdo) and Jacob Thornton (@fat) released Twitter Bootstrap to the world in August 2011, their announcement explained what its value would be: empowering front-end developers to kickstart projects more efficiently and effectively.
The Bootstrap stylesheet provides an easy-to-implement 960 grid for efficient layout, as well as expertly crafted styles for typography, navigation, tables, forms, buttons, and more. To take care of everyday JavaScript touches, Bootstrap provides a well built set of jQuery plugins for drop-down menus, tabs, modal boxes, tooltips, alert messages, and more. And yet none of it gets in the way of further customization. Bootstrap 01: Intro & Grid | Web Design 2011-12. Y el combate se decidió por KO (i) - Burbujas en. Hace algunas semanas salió un post de Shaun Walker titulado “Microsoft Declares the future of ASP.NET is Web API”. La verdad es que el post es interesante. Yo no sé cuales serán las intenciones de Microsoft (creo que ni ellos las saben realmente) pero lo que si es cierto es que las aplicaciones web están realmente cambiando a un modelo donde cada vez se procesa más en cliente y menos en servidor.
Es un modelo que deja totalmente obsoleto no solo a Webforms si no incluso a ASP.NET MVC. En este modelo las páginas o vistas de una aplicación web, ya no son servidas desde el servidor. A nivel tecnológico, salvando quizá cuestiones de rendimiento (que no son en absoluto despreciables, ahí está la experiencia de Twitter) estamos ya bastante preparados para dar este salto. Como siempre no soy el primero en hablar de Knockout en geeks. También está Marc Rubiño que tiene una presentación en slideshare: Hello Knockout. TodoMVC. Developing Backbone.js Applications - By Addy Osmani (@addyosmani) Available free for open-source reading below or for purchase via the O'Reilly store. Pull requests and comments always welcome. Prelude Not so long ago, “data-rich web application” was an oxymoron. Today, these applications are everywhere and you need to know how to build them.
Traditionally, web applications left the heavy-lifting of data to servers that pushed HTML to the browser in complete page loads. The use of client-side JavaScript was limited to improving the user experience. Think of the Ajax shopping cart which doesn’t require a refresh on the page when adding an item to your basket. The rise of arbitrary code on the client-side which can talk to the server however it sees fit has meant an increase in client-side complexity. Thankfully, there are a growing number of JavaScript libraries that can help improve the structure and maintainability of your code, making it easier to build ambitious interfaces without a great deal of effort.

Introduction to Backbone.js Part 5: AJAX – Video Tutorial. Upgrading to RequireJS 2.0 · jrburke/requirejs Wiki. Why There has been a good deal real world usage of requirejs, and there were some features around configuration that have come up that would be nice to add. At the same time, there were some configuration options and internal features that have not held their weight, and it would be good to remove them. Support for the AMD APIs has not changed. If anything, I am hoping that the AMD loader implementers are starting to agree on higher level APIs, like common config.
The changes were more around the configuration and internal operation of requirejs. The hope is that most projects will not see any difference over requirejs 1.0.x, and it should just be a drop-in upgrade. However, since some configuration options have been removed, and some things about how modules are loaded and executed were changed, semantic versioning dictates that these changes warrant a 2.0 version. Primary Changes These are the primary changes: Delayed module evaluation shim config It gets bad if order!
Require errbacks. Part 1: Backbone.js + Require.js. This article provides a brief introduction to JavaScript AMD and MVC technologies. It then details a working example of modularizing the Backbone.js 101 tutorial, “Todos” by Jérôme Gravel-Niquet, using Require.js. The article assumes basic familiarity with the aforementioned libraries, concepts, and example. This will be part one of a four part series. If you already know the basics or would like to dispense with the pleasantries then skip ahead to Let’s Get Started. Introduction If you have ever created a large JavaScript application then you know that over time, despite the best of intentions, that it can become quite unmanageable.
Code needs to be sectioned off into the standard model, view, and controller pieces. I have used many homegrown solutions over the years to address these issues, but as of date these libraries are my favorite. MVC: Backbone.js If you do not think MVC (Model View Controller) is a good idea then this article is not for you. AMD: Require.js Let’s Get Started. Handlebars.js: Minimal Templating on Steroids.

Well, for the last 2 months I have been using Mutt as my primary email client, and I have not missed gmail at all!!
I spend the majority of my day inside a shell based environment, and a large majority of my workflow/tooling has been heavily modded to allow me to do the majority of my computer related activities from a shell. I edit all my code in vimI manage keychain entries using the command line clientsI have a easy to customize automation/expansion library that allows me to add new shell automation tasks easilyFor the rare times that I use twitter, I use a vim plugin for that! I compose blog entries in vim You get the point! I have occassionally messed around with using links as a browser client. In reality, between chrome+vimium or firefox+vimperator, I have my mouseless browsing covered. The only scenario this setup does not work well for me is when I am ssh’d into a machine and want to browse the web (hence the use of links in those scenarios). Getting Started Installing Mutt Conclusion.
Backbone.js Screencast - Introduction and Views - joey beninghove. Resources For, And How I Learned Backbone.js. I received an email from Mark Muskardin, today, asking me some questions centered around how I ramped up and learned backbone, and looking for some good resources, too. I’ve had similar questions a number of times in recent weeks, so with Mark’s permission, I’m posting his questions and my answers here. Update: I’ve put together a more complete list of resources on my BackboneTraining.net site, and will keep that page up to date. Be sure to check that list for more links and additional resources. 1) How did you ramp up on Backbone? Mostly trial and error, honestly. I would try something to see if it worked or not and dig into the Backbone source code to find out why it didn’t in most cases. I also spent a lot of time looking at the example backbone code I could find in blog posts, in the documentation, etc.
In the end, though, it was really the throw-away applications I built that had the most impact for me. 2) Are they are any tutorials you’d recommend?

As web browsers have become more capable, developers have started to write more complex client-side applications. Yet as applications become more complex, they become more difficult to write, debug, and maintain. Backbone.js is a lightweight model/view/controller framework for writing complex JavaScript client applications in a simple way. Backbone works well as a client for almost any server-side web language or framework, including Rails, Django, PHP, .Net, or Java. In the Backbone.js Basics tutorial (Part I), we introduce the basic objects in Backbone: Model, View, Collection, Router.
We’ve been writing Backbone.js applications for internal use over the last 9 months and have learned a lot about how to do it well. Includes a typed transcript full code samples. Skills. CoffeeScript. Backbone.js + CoffeeScript Book. Building a single page app with Backbone.js, underscore.js and jQuery | &yet | the blog. Overview We've been finding ourselves building more and more JS heavy apps here at &yet. Until recently, we've pretty much invented a custom app architecture for each one. Not surprisingly, we're finding ourselves solving similar problems repeatedly.
On the server side, we use django to give us an MVC structure to follow. But there's no obvious structure to your client-side code. But for those of us who want to lovingly craft the UI exactly how we want them in the JavaScript we know and love, and yet crave quick lightweight solutions, those toolkits feel like overkill. Recently something called Backbone.js hit my "three tweet threshold" I decided to take a look. The Problem There are definitely some challenges that come with building complex, single-page apps, not the least of which is managing an ever increasing amount of code running in the same page. The Goals So, how do we want our app to behave? Enter Backbone.js The Model object var Movie = Backbone.Model.extend({}); Collections Views.
