Intro to Web Development from Bloc.io

The document discusses the rise of post-modern web applications (PMWAs), which resemble desktop applications more than traditional web pages. PMWAs have asynchronous communication with backends, complex client-side logic, and must scale to large numbers of users. While new technologies like HTML5 enable PMWAs, traditional techniques may not apply, and new paradigms are needed. However, not everything requires new approaches. The talk outlines features of PMWAs and examples like Google apps, then discusses enabling technologies like JavaScript improvements, component frameworks, and local storage.

HTML5 is awesome. Well, it will be awesome when it\'s finally ready. Probably. The bad news is that by the time the W3C have finished monkeying with HTML5, I\'ll probably have given up on the web as a whole and taken up meat goat farming. The good news (for you, me and the goats) is that there\'s no need to wait for a lot of the functionality that HTML5 promises; we can start using them right now. In this session I\'m going to show you how you can steal these features from the Flash Player and use them in your standards-based sites or applications, without even a sniff of Flash on the page.

An overview of web development essentials that will help you as a user experience designer to not only understand how to integrate designs with development components, but also to learn some tips on interacting effectively with developers.

The document is a syllabus for a 12-week, $18,000 full stack web development bootcamp taught by Dr. Angela Yu. The syllabus outlines the curriculum which includes front-end topics like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, jQuery, and Bootstrap. It also covers back-end topics such as Node.js, Express, APIs, databases like MongoDB and SQL, authentication, and deployment. The final section teaches modern front-end frameworks like React.js.

A front-end developer is responsible for the client-side development of websites, including writing HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. Their main responsibilities include determining website structure and design, ensuring a good user experience, and optimizing websites for different devices like smartphones. Front-end developers also work on features to enhance the user experience, balance functional and aesthetic design, and maintain brand consistency throughout a website.

The document discusses emerging web component standards that aim to address common issues in web development by allowing encapsulation of reusable UI elements. It outlines problems like undescriptive markup, style conflicts, lack of templates and bundling, and no standards. It then introduces web components features like templates, custom elements, shadow DOM, and HTML imports that provide solutions through native browser APIs and demos how each feature works.

Over the past several years, as the role of the browser has grown, rich desktop-like apps have emerged built entirely in the browser. To enable this movement, a new generation of powerful JavaScript frameworks have emerged including EmberJS, AngularJS, BackboneJS, and React. In this 30 minute crash course on front end frameworks, Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola will cover the history of front end web development, the recent emergence of these new Javascript frameworks, and go over some of the pros and cons for learning them. We'll hear from Bloc co-founder and CTO Dave Paola and Bloc Developer Christian Schlensker. Prior to Bloc, Dave was a developer at Kontagent, has over 15 years of software development experience, and has founded numerous other companies. Christian comes to Bloc from Pinchit and TAG where he was a developer. Prior to that, Christian was also a graphic designer. In our experience, beginners are often overwhelmed by buzz words like "HTML5," "JavaScript," and "Ruby." Without an experienced guide, they can spend months going down rabbit-holes drilling into specific languages, and emerge frustrated that they can't build a real website. Dave will start by helping you visualize the front end web development landscape. Comparing Angular, Ember, Backbone, and React 2 Once you understand the landscape, Dave will introduce the four major front end frameworks that have emerged over the past two years. He'll discuss the pros and cons of learning each one, from the point of view of a beginner. These four frameworks are: AngularJS, EmberJS, BackboneJS, and ReactJS.

This document discusses strategies for improving JavaScript development in 2013 and beyond. It recommends: 1) Knowing your language thoroughly by reading documentation 2) Learning to use developer tools like Firebug and DevTools effectively 3) Building applications with future-proofing in mind through techniques like feature detection instead of browser detection.

Web sites can be fast and responsive once you understand the process web browsers use to load and run web pages. We'll look at using tools like WebPageTest to analyze and optimize web pages.

The document discusses issues with code compilation and building JavaScript files for web pages. Combining all JavaScript into one large file or grouping files based on pages leads to unused code being loaded. A better approach is to load only necessary JavaScript on page load and then asynchronously load additional JavaScript files on demand when features are used.

This document summarizes Matt Raible's presentation on the future of web frameworks. It discusses how web frameworks have evolved from early technologies like CGI and PHP to modern frameworks like Ruby on Rails and Grails. It also explores emerging trends like HTML5, mobile development, APIs, and the growing importance of speed. Raible believes future frameworks will focus on performance, support plugins and mobile/desktop, and encourage innovation while building on past successes. The most important factors will be hiring smart developers and focusing on APIs and applications over meetings.

The document summarizes the state of jQuery in 2013. It discusses the creation of the jQuery Foundation in 2012 to coordinate work on jQuery and related projects. It outlines major changes between jQuery 1.9 and 2.0, including dropping support for older browsers and APIs. It emphasizes that jQuery 1.9 remains suitable for most public websites, while 2.0 is better suited for newer environments. The document encourages developers to test alpha and beta versions to help improve jQuery.

A great idea can be built with almost any technology. The success or failure of your project has more to do with vision, leadership, execution, and market than technological choices. Besides the vision, a lot of startups focus on culture. what isn’t often mentioned is that the technical decisions will have a direct effect on the company culture. Great things have been built with each of the technologies. But they do come with a culture. The purpose of this presentation is to help developers, managers, founders, etc. to make an insightful decision about the framework they want to use to create their product.

This document discusses jQuery and web performance. It begins by noting that Internet Explorer 6 is now dead, and Internet Explorer 7 and 8 are the new baselines for older applications. It then discusses various aspects of web performance, including how browsers load pages, techniques for improving performance like prefetching and avoiding forced layouts, and tools for profiling performance like developer tools and webpagetest.org. It provides an example of optimizing infinite scrolling by having JavaScript only handle new items rather than doing full page layouts. The document advocates measuring performance before optimizing and using developer tools to find hot spots in JavaScript.

This document discusses bringing 3D to the web using technologies like WebGL, THREE.js, and Autodesk Forge. It provides examples of using 3D on the web for creative, commercial, and industrial purposes. Autodesk Forge and its Model Derivative API and Viewer are presented as easier options for adding 3D to the web compared to lower-level APIs like WebGL. Considerations for mobile and VR/AR are also mentioned.

We are born collaborators. As children we’re taught to share our toys, take turns on the playground, and, perhaps most powerful, use our imagination. These fundamental skills transcend from the playground to the classroom, and later into the workplace. Overtime, though, we lose the spark once had on the playground. Innovation comes at the cost of time and frustration, and workplace collaboration becomes unproductive. It doesn’t have to, and shouldn’t, be this way. Within this workshop we’ll cover collaboration in detail, outlining practices to help strengthen communication, establish understood roles, self-selected leaders, and work together. Collaboration shouldn’t be futile and a few simple practices can make all the difference in increasing team productivity and happiness.

Ruby on Rails is a web application framework that is designed to make programming web applications easier and more enjoyable. It includes features like an object-relational mapper called Active Record that allows database rows to be represented as objects, conventions that reduce configuration, and support for test-driven development. Rails is built on Ruby, an interpreted object-oriented programming language, and aims to be programmer friendly and allow powerful applications to be built quickly. Several experts praise Rails for lowering the barriers to entry for programming and being a well-thought-out framework.
