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.

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. En todo caso, se sirve un “bootstrapper” inicial, que contiene el código javascript que realiza la petición inicial y luego todo es modificar el DOM en cliente a partir de datos recibidos por servicios REST, usando javascript. Como siempre no soy el primero en hablar de Knockout en geeks. ¡Espero que esta sea una larga serie de posts, porque realmente hay mucho que contar! Introducción a Knockout Hello Knockout
Mongoose TodoMVC Rocking Out With CoffeeScript Even though CoffeeScript is a new language, you'll learn it very quickly. You should, since it's only JavaScript flaunting with some flashy clothes, after all. It reads like Ruby or Python, but compiles down to pure, non-fluffy JavaScript. A Word From the Author With the advent of powerful JavaScript engines, like V8, JavaScript has shed its stigma of a gimped tool for juvenile interactions and morphed into quite a powerhouse. But I've always felt the syntax itself to be a bit kludgy. What is CoffeeScript? CoffeeScript compiles down to raw JS. CoffeeScript is essentially just a syntactic rewrite of JavaScript. Remember that the CoffeeScript compiler outputs clean JavaScript that not only follows best practices and is eminently readable but also passes JSLint. This may seem like an alien concept but under the web development umbrella, we've already seen our fair share of this ideology. Some Quick Code You're probably wondering how the code itself looks so here is a quick peek: Pros and Cons
