Front-End Checklist | Front-End-Checklist A Baseline for Front-End Developers 12 Apr 2012 edit I wrote a README the other day for a project that I'm hoping other developers will look at and learn from, and as I was writing it, I realized that it was the sort of thing that might have intimidated the hell out of me a couple of years ago, what with its casual mentions of Node, npm, Homebrew, git, tests, and development and production builds. Once upon a time, editing files, testing them locally (as best as we could, anyway), and then FTPing them to the server was the essential workflow of a front-end dev. Something has changed in the last couple of years. Whatever it is, I think we're seeing the emphasis shift from valuing trivia to valuing tools.

JavaScript This might go without saying, but simply knowing a JavaScript library isn't sufficient any more. Git (and a Github account) Skeptical of AMD? Testing
Learn to Build Modern Web Apps with the AngularJS Tutorial | Thinkster 10 Web Application Frameworks for Node.js Yes, this is the 2nd edition to my list of Node.js frameworks, the first one was where I had put together a list of seven minimal Node.js frameworks, which later turned into one of my most visited, shared and admired posts on this blog. If you were a part of the success, thank you and hopefully we can make this one just as good. I have since received a ton of emails, comments and social media queries with suggestions, and questions as to what else is out there. I’m gathering these up by paying attention to their usage / popularity on open-source websites like GitHub and Bitbucket, while also keeping an eye on sites like Hacker News, and Reddit. Hello World! Remember the silly ‘Hello World!’ You can either watch it to refresh your memory, introduce yourself to WebStorm (IDE), perhaps even begin learning about Node.js and the basics of it, or you can simply move on.

Draw.Chat - Collaborative Drawing Board Online cunning ramblings in codecraft – Pseudo-random Contributions to the Global Mind-meld Web Platform Blog | News on the Open Web Platform 7 Minimal Node.js Web Frameworks for 2014 and Beyond Node.js or most commonly know as Node, is a JavaScript platform that allows you to build large scale web applications. Node.js is a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast, scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices. Hello World in Node.js The following code will start a web server through Node and print out the text ‘Hello World’ when someone views localhost:8080 It’s quite amazing how far the technology has evolved. I do however understand that you most likely already know all this, and instead want to get straight to the list of frameworks. Why a Web Framework Generally, frameworks are created to save people a lot of unnecessary work. I’ve not discussed many programming matters here on CodeCondo, but I hope to start improving upon that very idea. 1. 2. 3. 6. 7. Finally, the last one!
