Sails is a Javascript framework designed to resemble the MVC architecture from frameworks like Ruby on Rails. It makes the process of building Node.js apps easier, especially APIs, single page apps and realtime features, like chat.
Our goal is to simplify this process as much as possible. The idea is to use your code repository as a source for every deployment. The deployment tool, in our case capistrano, will automatically log into your server and build your system right out of your repository.
Welcome to the second part of my IndexedDB article. I strongly recommend reading the first article in this series, as I’ll be assuming you are familiar with all the concepts covered so far. In this article, we’re going to wrap up the CRUD aspects we didn’t finish before (specifically updating and deleting content), and then demonstrate a real world application that we will use to demonstrate other concepts in the final article.
The Date/Time PHP extension is a set of classes that allow you to work with almost all of the date and time related tasks. It’s been available since the release of PHP 5.2 and the extension introduced several new classes, all of which are mapped to real life scenarios:
Setting up a new machine can often be an exciting prospect. However, as developers, there are a lot of tools we need that don’t come as standard.
Browser testing is the bane of our existence. Well, that’s a bit of an exaggeration, but not by much. Multiple browser versions and browser fragmentation can make it difficult to get good test coverage for your sites especially when you factor in the different operating systems developers use to build with.
The Money Pattern, defined by Martin Fowler and published in Patterns of Enterprise Application Architecture, is a great way to represent value-unit pairs. It is called Money Pattern because it emerged in a financial context and we will illustrate its use mainly in this context using PHP.
Nearly one year ago, Jeffrey Way reviewed the open source Brackets project. In the time since that review Brackets has come quite far, recently celebrating it’s 33rd Sprint release. In this article I’ll talk about many of the updates as well as demonstrate why Brackets is my favorite editor.
Authentication is required for virtually any type of web application. In this tutorial, I’d like to show you how you can go about creating a small authentication application using Laravel 4. We’ll start from the very beginning by creating our Laravel app using composer, creating the database, loading in the Twitter Bootstrap, creating a main layout, registering users, logging in and out, and protecting routes using filters. We’ve got a lot of code to cover, so let’s get started!
In today’s world of Javascript Application frameworks, design philosophy is the key differentiating factor. If you compare the popular JS frameworks, such as EmberJS, AngularJS, Backbone, Knockout, etc. you are sure to find differences in their abstractions, thinking models, and of course the terminology. This is a direct consequence of the underlying design philosophy. But, in principle, they all do one thing, which is to abstract out the DOM in such a way that you don’t deal directly with HTML Elements.
