Tools Used
Node.js was launched in 2009, initially only supported by Linux. Now cross-platform, it is a runtime environment for developing server-side web applications, and many of its basic modules are written in JavaScript. Basically, it builds the server sides of websites (like PHP), but it's capable of much more. It's highly scalable and very efficient, and in short, it's going places.
Sometimes there's nothing more fun than sinking your teeth into a complex, challenging JavaScript build. Until you get so inundated with tiny, repetitive tasks that take up the majority of your coding time, that is. Enter Gulp; the toolkit that automates all the boring stuff, so you can build the cool stuff. It's going to make your builds so much better, and we're going to teach you how to use it...
Cut Out the Boring Bits!
- Install, program, and configure Gulp to work for you
- Manage JavaScript projects with Gulp
- Leverage Gulp as a JavaScript build system
- Create runnable 'builds' with a single command
- Use Gulp to minify SASS files and JavaScript
- Rewrite HTML files to reference concatenated, minified JavaScript and CSS
- Concatenate all your JavaScript into a single, downloadable file
- Automatically build a JavaScript project with the 'watch' feature
- Let Gulp do all of your mundane JavaScript tasks!
Use Gulp as a JavaScript Build System
This course was designed for developers who want to enhance their workflow. However if you work with JavaScript regularly, you need this course too. We'll show you how to use to this toolkit to eliminate the most time-consuming, monotonous and downright boring tasks... and you don't even need any Gulp experience to get started!
First we'll explore Gulp at a high level. You'll gain an understanding of what a build system is, what Gulp can do for you, and we'll install and configure gulp according to your own needs. Then, the course divides into two sections; Gulp for development and Gulp for production. In the former, you'll learn about pre-processing SASS, automating your builds, the much lauded 'watch' function and the live re-load function.
In the latter, we'll focus on production for JavaScript and CSS, and we'll teach you everything you need to know about generating sourcemaps. Once you've finished the last section, you'll know exactly how to use Gulp to get maximum efficiency and productivity from your builds. You'll also be ready to use this clever toolkit to manage your JavaScript projects, minify, rewrite and concatenate your code, and basically make your developing life a whole lot easier.
What is Gulp?
Gulp is a toolkit designed to automate time-consuming tasks in your development workflow, so you can stop focussing on the boring, repetitive 'to dos' and get back to building. It makes the development processes simple and efficient, with a quality ecosystem ensuring plugins stay simple and work as expected. It's intended use is for JavaScript builds and front end web development, and it uses a code-over-configuration approach.
By its nature, working on a web application usually involves a lot of JavaScript (duh). And as any developer will tell you, it often doesn't take long for your JS code start winding through a whole heap of other elements like HTML UI speed ramps, jQuery roundabouts, and who knows what else. For complex applications a more structured approach can make life easier for everyone. Enter Backbone.js, the JavaScript framework that does exactly that. Here's what this Backbone.js online course can show you...
The Backbone of Web App Development
- Get to know Backbone.js and how it can help you
- Code a Backbone app with an online IDE
- Compose functional components in Backbone's MVC paradigm
- Raise and handle Events
- Implement Views to control and app
- Use Models to manage application data
- And much more!
Understand Models, Events, Views and More
The core of Backbone.js is representing your data through Models which can be created, validated, destroyed and saved to the server, and Views that display the model's state and respond to changes. So after a quick introduction, this is what you'll learn first.
Having laid that foundation, you'll move onto the other important concepts of Backbone such as Events, namespacing, templating, routing, and much more. You'll then build a guestbook app and style it to perfection with Bootstrap. Additional resources and hands-on tutoring will help you every step of the way, no matter what your skills or experience level.
By the end of the course material, you'll be well equipped to use Backbone for developing your own web apps, and will have a greater understanding of how frameworks can elevate your developing skills (and make your life a whole lot less stressful, too).
Although intended for IT professionals, hobbyists are more than suitable for taking this course too. Some experience in creating web UIs with JavScript tools would be an advantage, as would programming with a common object-oriented or scripting language. However, you don't need any Backbone experience whatsoever. We'll teach you everything you need to know!
What is Backbone?
Backbone.js is a JavaScript framework designed for developing single page web applications and for synchronizing various elements of web apps. It was created by Jeremy Ashkenas (of CoffeeScript and Underscore.js fame) with the intention of giving developers the freedom to design the full experience of a web application. It helps keep business logic and user interface neatly separated. Backbone is praised for being lightweight and only depending on one JavaScript library.
Many new or intermediate developers struggle to see how React.js differs from other JavaScript frameworks and libraries, or how it fits into application architecture in general. Simply put, React allows you to develop user interfaces like the pros; and this course will show you exactly how it works.
Make Interactive UIs with Ease
- Understand and use React components
- Code a React app with an online IDE
- Learn how React can help you as a developer
- Style a React app with React CSS and Bootstrap
- Use Flux, State and Props, Routers and more
The Must Have JavaScript Library
This React online course was designed with web developers in mind. If you design UI/UX solutions for mobile or the web, learning React.js will vastly improve how you work. And if you want to design with React as easily as with other JavaScript frameworks, this course is a must.
This course focuses on building simple components and composing them to create complex, rich, functional component solutions. You'll get to grips with event handling, routing, implementing Flux architecture, and much more to master React fundamentals.
We start from the very beginning and stick with you every step of the way, kicking off with an introduction to React and getting progressively more challenging as the course continues. Don't worry – you'll soon be working on React projects with ease.
By the end of this course, you'll be productive and efficient in using this versatile library, and you'll be able to build great looking web apps faster than ever before.You'll walk away with a working knowledge of the framework, it's various facets, and you'll understand how it fits into your process. But most of all, you'll have a valuable and time-saving new skill in your developer toolbox.
What is React?
React.js is a JavaScript library that makes building user interfaces simple and painless. It is a view layer rather than a complete framework, so while it's not suitable for building a fully functional dynamic app, it adds the finishing touch to make your websites look flawless. React is maintained by Facebook, Instagram and a wider community of developers and can be used with React-based add-ons or in conjunction with other JS libraries and frameworks.
Ember isn't like other JavaScript frameworks. Instead of providing a solution to the 'view' part of the Model-View-Controller design process, it tackles the client-side application problem as a whole. Whether it's web, mobile, or service applications, Ember works it using the model-view-viewmodel approach and does it flawlessly. If you're a IT professional or just a hobbyist interested in web architecture, UI design, or even testing and administrating, Ember will make your life infinitely easier.
