Top MVC Frameworks by Dio Synodinos on Feb 05, 2013 | As more and more logic ends up being executed in the browser, JavaScript front-end codebases grow larger and more difficult to maintain. As a way to solve this issue developers have been turning to MVC frameworks which promise increased productivity and maintainable code. Backbone.js: Provides models with key-value binding and custom events, collections, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface. Please rank the following frameworks, from YOUR experience working with them, according to the value they can potentially bring (“Value Proposition”) vs. how ready they are to be used in the real world (“Adoption Readiness”). You can drag and drop the option on the radar and click “Submit Now!” AdoptAssessTrialHype AdoptAssessTrialHype About Through software, readers like you are rapidly changing the world.

Agility.js Javascript MVC library Best JavaScript MVC Frameworks 2013-2014 - JonathanMH JavaScript MVC Frameworks are a big topic nowadays that we use JS to bind data, send it back and forth between server and client and actually implement lots of logic, so we want to structure our code after the MVC or similar patterns, decoupling the logic or data handling from the views. In this article I want to share what frameworks I’ve tried out and which ones I find interesting. Why JavaScript MVC Framworks? I do Web Development, I’ve started building things with node.js on the backend, so obviously I have a strong tendency towards environments where JavaScript is available. Which JavaScript MVC Frameworks? Now let’s finally look at the list I’ve compiled, which includes a short introduction, my experience with them, if there is any, further reading and a list about their dependencies, license and their examples at TodoMVC.com.

jQuery Maria - The MVC Framework for JavaScript Application The real MVC. The Smalltalk MVC. The Gang of Four MVC. Model - View - Controller A model contains domain data. The three core design patterns of MVC (observer, composite, and strategy) are embedded in Maria's Model, View, and Controller objects. Plugins Plugins Maria is designed to be flexible so that plugins can modify virtually any of the framework’s functionality. Example Applications TodoMVC Yeoman Stapes.js - the little Javascript framework that does just enough Introduction For a quick introduction to Stapes, follow the tutorial, and write a todo app in less than 100 lines of code. Write your Stapes modules like this Then, use it like this. var module = new Module('Emmylou'); module.sayName(); Examples There are three examples available to get a taste on how to write a Stapes.js application. Code for these examples is available in the development download. Note that the two todo examples are also available from TodoMVC. Creation methods These methods aid in the creation and extension of classes, or modules. subclass Module.subclass( [object] ) Stapes.subclass( [object, classOnly] ) Create a new Stapes class that you can instantiate later on with new. Note that until Stapes 0.6.0 the preferred way of creating new modules was by using Stapes.create. You can add a constructor (the function that is run when you instantiate the class) property to the object. Note that it's perfectly valid to call subclass without any arguments at all. extend proto Event methods

How to Learn JavaScript Properly Learn JavaScript Properly (For Beginners and Experienced Programmers) This study guide, which I also refer to as a course outline and a road map, gives you a structured and instructive outline for learning JavaScript properly. In fact, you will find two study guides below, one for absolute beginners and the other for experienced programmers and web developers. You do want to learn JavaScript. I presume you are here for that reason, and you have made a wise decision. For if you want to develop modern websites and web applications (including an internet startup), or if you want a high-paying developer job ($75K to $250K+), JavaScript is undoubtedly the best web-development language to learn today, unless you want to develop native iOS or Android apps exclusively. Table of Contents Study Groups People have started study groups for this study guide. What You will Learn How Will Your Life Change After You Learn JavaScript Properly?

BOWER jide.js Guide: jide.js Developer Guide Function Declarations vs. Function Expressions Lets start with a short quiz. What is alerted in each case?: Question 1: Question 2: Question 3: Question 4: If you didn’t answer 8, 3, 3 and [Type Error: bar is not a function] respectively, read on… (actually read on anyway ;-) ) What is a Function Declaration? A Function Declaration defines a named function variable without requiring variable assignment. e.g. ECMA 5 (13.0) defines the syntax asfunction Identifier ( FormalParameterListopt ) { FunctionBody } The function name is visible within it’s scope and the scope of it’s parent (which is good because otherwise it would be unreachable) What is a Function Expression? A Function Expression defines a function as a part of a larger expression syntax (typically a variable assignment ). ECMA 5 (13.0) defines the syntax asfunction Identifieropt ( FormalParameterListopt ) { FunctionBody } (though this feels incomplete since it omits the requirement that the containing syntax be an expression and not start with “function”) Wait, what’s Hoisting?
