If you go to a convention and ask if someone used Angular 1, you will find that less then 50 per cent will have had an experience with the framework. In comparison, if you ask Java or C# developers, you will find a lot more transitioning to Angular 2 due to its typed approach. Tooling is important and Angular 2 seems to be very attractive to transition to. Between Angular 1 and 2, the syntax…

What is Typescript? It is a superset of Javascript with type information. You can define interfaces and types, such as string, boolean. Why would you want to use Typescript? As of writing, decorators are still in a stage 1 proposal for the ES2016 specification. But thanks to transpilers like TypeScript and Babel projects can use them now to improve developer productivity. The Typescript compiler…

Meteor is a Javascript platform. The platform means it is not just a framework to focus on specific tasks. It enables you to build everything for backend and frontend and all other components, such as a database to build your application. Meteor can work with several view layers. You can choose React, Blaze, or Angular. And soon Blaze 2. Meteor is isomorphic, that means it is easy to reuse code…

Apollo is just space related enough so you can adopt other names related to other space projects. Meteor’s new ambition is so crazy and I think it is worth talking about. Being as transparent as possible is great. Meteor wants to build a reactive GraphQL data server layer and make it open source. Meteor Meteor is very tight into mongo and Meteor Development Group (MDG) wants to decouple a lot of…

React News and How to Start

I see a lot of hesitancy about React from designers. The tooling seems to be challenging with Javascript. Most of them don’t add they own Webpack.. but if you get them the data, like a large object.. they can do lots with that information. Same in Angular, they don’t want to deal with logic or ng-repeats to integrate their design. That means in order for designers to adapt it easier, the frontend…

I was almost about to name this header Angular 2 Redux Sagas NGRX and State Management. There is so much happening in the world of state management but keeping things simple is key. What is a state? What is state management? There are several type of states. Typical a local ui state which frankly no-one cares about. Those are property related in your UI. A ui-state. The second one is your…

MDG Insight about Meteor and its Development

A new show called Transmission just hit the iTunes store. It confirms our graving for Meteor Development Group (MDG) input. Its not that there was a lack of information about whats going on in the community. It just puts more human element to MDG. Things felt a bit more to corporate. Meteor doesn’t even consider Twitter for interactivity. Testing Testing is officially supported and new…

 Large software projects are better developed in modules. Those modules will not just have an impact on your software but on your team. In hopes of sustainable software development, Microservices seem to become the first choice for large teams. In comparison to small teams, large teams usually are harder to manage. They have a large appetite for communication and complex structures. This is a…

What is Deep (Machine) Learning?

(There are to many synonyms, indeed!) Deep machine learning in…

I’ve written, refactored, and re-written many components in that time, and I’ve seen some best practices and anti-patterns emerge. This resource contains a collection of React best practices and React tips provided by BrowserStudios. This is a community driven project, so you are encouraged to contribute as well, and we are counting on…

Why should I Consider React?

If you want to consider React as the best option to work on your web development then you should first know what react is and how it works. Maybe you already know that React is a JavaScript library for your user interface, and was created by collaboration between Facebook and Instagram.
