The number of web development frameworks and libraries based on JavaScript continue increasing. The most popular client-side technologies are Angular and React, but you might ask - What should I use?

This is a support presentation used by Daniel Chivescu (@iamdanchiv) during a WebdriverIO demo at the 24th Edition of the BucharestJS meetup.

This document is a JavaScript digest from April 2018. It provides summaries and links for topics including the V8 release v6.6, what to expect in Node.js 10, using const and let, CSS Grid layouts, and libraries like Pico.js and filepond. It also explores differences between classes and factory functions, and links versus buttons.

The document discusses RSpec and Capybara, which are the most popular and stable tools for web UI automation testing in Ruby. RSpec is a BDD framework that serves as a testing and assertion tool. Capybara is a web driver wrapper that allows automating interactions like visiting pages, filling forms, and clicking elements. The document provides examples of setting up RSpec and Capybara and matching common interactions and selectors.

WebdriverIO allows controlling browsers using code and integrates with BDD frameworks like Cucumber and Mocha. It manages Selenium and supports various browsers. Tests are written with Gherkin feature files, step definitions convert these to code, and page objects represent page elements. The browser API allows interacting with pages by URL, waiting for elements, clicking, and more. Challenges include maintaining matching versions as browsers and drivers update.

This document outlines how to manage a local WordPress community, including both online and offline aspects. It discusses establishing an online presence through blogs, forums, documentation and translations. It also covers growing an offline community through meetups and conferences. Specific recommendations are provided for keeping translations up to date, managing plugin and theme translations through WordPress.org, moderating support forums politely, developing documentation, and organizing WordPress meetups. The overall goal is to build and nurture a thriving local WordPress community.

This document provides an overview of Gradle, an open-source build automation tool. It discusses why build systems are useful, common build options like Ant and Maven, and what makes Gradle unique. Key features of Gradle highlighted include its task-based build flow, robust dependency management, flexibility, and support for plugins. Examples are provided for basic Gradle usage and building Java, web, and Android projects with Gradle.

- Bolts is a library for asynchronous programming and tasks like JavaScript promises. It allows data changes to automatically propagate through a system using functional reactive programming (FRP). - A task represents an asynchronous operation that may complete at some point in the future. Properties allow tracking the last value of a data sequence. Tasks and properties are part of FRP. - Bolts provides features like chaining tasks together using continueWithBlock:, canceling tasks, and coordinating multiple dependent tasks. It aims to tame asynchronous programming beyond just promises.

The document discusses optimizing a frontend build process. It recommends using Webpack or Rollup as the module bundler and decomposing the build into separate steps like compiling assets, JavaScript, and styles. It also suggests using tools like Babel, TypeScript, and PostCSS loaders to optimize builds and provides examples of build processes for frameworks like Angular and React. Optimization techniques mentioned include using HappyPack, thread-loader, and hard-source-webpack-plugin to parallelize and cache work to speed up builds.

This document introduces React Native, which allows developers to build native mobile apps for iOS and Android from JavaScript. React Native uses React to construct mobile user interfaces and allows sharing of code across platforms. It renders native UI components rather than webviews, supports flexbox layout, and exposes platform APIs. Developers can build full-stack universal apps that share code between web and mobile using React Native and tools like Redux. It provides benefits like hot reloading, native performance, and the ability to add it incrementally to existing apps.

Discover what it takes to make an Angular, ASP.NET Core application in Visual Studio Code explaining the pieces on which to focus and those to initially ignore.

A look back at how JavaScript has evolved over the past 18 years - how it broke out of the browser and can now be found in the most unexpected places. Presented at Worthing Digital, 7th Nov 2013.

AngularJS is great for creating web and mobile apps with solutions like the Ionic Framework. We are starting the journey of covering Angular from the beginning. This presentation is a part of a series that explores AngularJS through talks and workshops. We will also extend this to Ionic, which leverages Angular and Cordova, to build Mobile Apps. Angular is the foundation to Ionic, a mobile platform development tool. Get familiar with Angular, to do more with Ionic, we will show you how.

Overview / extracts from presentations at JSConf.eu conference about topics that were more interesting to me.

The document provides an overview of 10 things to know about Django: 1. Django's history helps understand its focus on fast development, collaboration and maintainability. 2. It's recommended to start with Django's basics like its web framework capabilities and using Python packages. 3. Django includes common components like the database ORM but they can be replaced. 4. Everything in Django, including the framework itself and applications, are Python packages. 5. Performance is not a priority but can be improved through techniques like caching and optimized application servers. 6. Postgres is well supported through Django contributions and third party packages. 7. Django encourages rapid development over optimization for specific use cases. 8. Cho

The document discusses considerations for teaching Ruby on Rails. It notes that students come with a wide range of experience, from true beginners to veteran developers, and the content must be tailored accordingly. Managing student expectations is important, as the hype around Rails can raise expectations that are difficult to meet for beginners. Follow-through after initial lessons is also key to student retention, such as providing a roadmap for further learning.

This document provides advice for IT undergrads on things they should know but often don't. It emphasizes that the goal of an IT degree is to learn how to solve human problems using computers. It stresses that the most important language for undergrads to know is SQL. It also notes that employers hire programmers based on their problem-solving skills rather than specific languages. Undergrads should focus on learning fundamentals in college and exploring outside projects as soft skills and adaptability are crucial for success in the real world of constantly changing requirements and impossible deadlines.

This document provides an overview of spiritual mapping and the deployment of seers. It discusses a prophetic act over Negros Island covering it with prayer shawls, red cloth for protection, and blue cloth for open heavens. It encourages a word fast on 1 Corinthians 13 to focus on living in love. It analyzes the scripture in Numbers 13 about spying out the land of Canaan. Key places discussed include Egypt, the Negev desert, Hebron, and the Valley of Eshkol. The meanings of related words are explored. Uniting in love through Hebron is emphasized for experiencing the fruits of destiny like in Eshkol, though occupants like the Canaanites present opposition.

The document provides advice for preparing a career in IT. It recommends first asking yourself why you want to pursue IT, as having a passion for the field rather than just the money will lead to greater success and satisfaction. Second, it suggests building a portfolio of projects to demonstrate skills and experience to potential employers. Establishing an online presence through a personal website or contributing to local communities can help showcase abilities and get noticed.

The document discusses what future IT students should know about their field of study and career. It emphasizes that the goal of an IT degree is to learn how to solve human problems using computers. It stresses developing strong problem-solving, communication, and social skills which are more important than specific technical skills. Companies hire based on an individual's ability to solve problems rather than their particular degree. The document advises students to gain experience through projects, explore new technologies, and collaborate with others to prepare for an ever-changing career where adaptability is key.
