Top 10 Front-End Development Frameworks

Top 10 Front-End Development Frameworks
(Editor’s note: purely for reasons of length and readability, this article is the first of two parts. This one focuses on the Bootstrap family, more will be profiled in the second part.) As the Web matures and the range of mobile devices we use to access it rapidly grows, our jobs as web designers and developers get considerably more complicated. A decade ago things were much simpler. Then, it was almost certain that most of our users were visiting our sites while sitting at their desk, looking at a large monitor. 960 pixels was more or less considered as a good width for a web page. Our main care was dealing with the dozen or so desktop browsers and jumping through a few extra browser hacks to support quirky old versions of Internet Explorer. Soon, more people will be accessing the Web on their mobile and alternate devices than on a desktop computer. One of the primary strategies we use when we deal with unknown viewport size is the so-called responsive web design. 1. 2. 3. 4.

Take Your HTML Tables to a New Level with JavaScript Frameworks Take Your HTML Tables to a New Level with JavaScript Frameworks With basic HTML tables, the structure and the way the table are presented inherits the native html style. And if you like to change it then you need to change the underlying HTML code or spend time in adding attributes to all tables tags, in order to style it with CSS . But what if you want to make the tables more interesting, more dynamic, more visual appealing without spending so much time. Yes you can certainly use JavaScript for this, but coding it from scratch will be time consuming and it’s not worth. But JS libraries/frameworks will allow you to add a range of dynamic behavior to your tables and manipulate it for better presentation on a webpage without spending much time.

That's because of their awesome Bootstrap UI framework. We've seen CSS frameworks before, but all of them were narrow enough to solve one problem at a time. Usually this meant a grid layout and resetting CSS. Twitter Bootstrap not only provides you with flexible responsive grids but adds many useful components. It's pretty easy to build a prototype site just by adding appropriate classes into your tags and see how beautiful CSS3 magic unfold on your pages. From another point of view, a site built with Bootstrap loses it's individuality. But how to make site look more unique? Let's try something different then.

Pure JavaScript HTML Parser Recently I was having a little bit of fun and decided to go about writing a pure JavaScript HTML parser. Some might remember my one project, env.js, which ported the native browser JavaScript features to the server-side (powered by Rhino). One thing that was lacking from that project was an HTML parser (it parsed strict XML only). I’ve been toying with the ability to port env.js to other platforms (Spidermonkey derivatives and the ECMAScript 4 Reference Implementation) and if I were to do so I would need an HTML parser. Because of this fact it became easiest to just write an HTML parser in pure JavaScript. I did some digging to see what people had previously built, but the landscape was pretty bleak. (I also contemplated porting the HTML 5 parser, wholesale, but that seemed like a herculean effort.) However, the result is one that I’m quite pleased with. htmlparser.js: 4 Libraries in One! There were four pieces of functionality that I wanted to implement with this library: A SAX-style API

16 Best HTML5 Frameworks for Rapid Development HTML5 is popular language amongst web designers because it is being supported by the most of the modern browsers like Firefox 6, Google Chrome, IE9 etc.. HTML5 provides numerous new features and capabilities that were things of fantasy with previous versions of HTML. Web pages will now be more semantic with the use of structure specific tags. Visual elements like rounded corners are now built in, and so is the ability to create drag and drop interactivity. In this article I have generated a list of best HTML5 frameworks that will simplify your development process and speed up your coding. Following HTML5 frameworks are best in my concern, If you are aware of any other useful HTML5 framework, please do let us know by posting comments.

Efficient Implementation of the Levenshtein-Algorithm, Fault-tolerant Search Technology, Error-tolerant Search Technologies A Look at Some of the Top Mobile UI Frameworks Deciding on a cross-platform tool (CPT) when developing mobile applications is really only the first step of a larger journey. When you choose a web-based CPT (PhoneGap, for example), you’re typically faced with the decision of what UI framework to choose as well. The good news is that there are number of powerful options available. There are SO many interesting options, it can feel overwhelming even if you’re a veteran of HTML5-based mobile development. jQuery Mobile jQuery Mobile is arguably the most widely used mobile framework – benefiting from association with the nearly ubiquitous jQuery project. High Level Overview Developers writing mobile and hybrid mobile apps using jQuery Mobile will encounter the following: Heavy use of HTML “data-*” attributes. Despite its popularity, jQuery Mobile has been criticized for performing poorly in mobile browsers. Widgets jQuery Mobile’s site currently lists 22 built-in widgets (though the number of custom/3rd party widgets is much higher).

Levenshtein distance Levenshtein distance You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know. In information theory and computer science, the Levenshtein distance is a metric for measuring the amount of difference between two sequences (i.e. an edit distance). The Levenshtein distance between two strings is defined as the minimum number of edits needed to transform one string into the other, with the allowable edit operations being insertion, deletion, or substitution of a single character. For example, the Levenshtein distance between "kitten" and "sitting" is 3, since the following three edits change one into the other, and there is no way to do it with fewer than three edits: kitten sitten (substitution of 'k' with 's') sitten sittin (substitution of 'e' with 'i') sittin sitting (insert 'g' at the end). The Levenshtein distance between "rosettacode", "raisethysword" is 8; The distance between two strings is same as that when both strings is reversed.

14 Amazing Web UI Frameworks Web UI is just a fancy term for any interface built with HTML5, JS, and CSS. Web UI or the front-end of the web application is basically HTML mixed with JavaScript forming into the application that you use to actually carry out tasks and jobs in the application and if you want to build a reliable and solid UI, you will need to extend that web UI you’ve created and you’re in luck, because you can find many amazing UI frameworks which are easily available online in various languages.
