Lean Mean Vue Machine

Chris Berry Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript, Vue.js Leave a Comment

The year is 2019 and Command Line Interfaces abound for many of the big name JavaScript frameworks such as Angular CLI, Create React App, and the Vue CLI.

But wouldn’t it be nice to go back to the days when you could just drop a simple script tag on a page and be able to run an application? Well, here is my attempt in trying to accomplish just that.

In this post, we create a working Vue.js web application with standard CRUD functionality and deploy it without any extra dependencies other than the actual application itself.

Creating A Blockchain In JavaScript

Vince Pendergrass Articles, Blockchain, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript Leave a Comment

Blockchain is all the buzz now. And for good reason! A distributed public ledger that is extremely secure through encryption?! Imagine the millions of applicable use cases. A blockchain can be created and maintained using any modern language.

For the purpose of this blog, let’s dive into a blockchain written in JavaScript. Hopefully, this doesn’t just serve as a simple code example but also gives a very basic understanding of how a blockchain actually works.

Do keep in mind this will be very simplist…

React Native With Expo

Lou Mauget Articles, Development Technologies & Tools, JavaScript, Mobile, React, React Native 1 Comment

The React Native framework supports an installable mobile application created from JavaScript source code. It is not a React-based web app wrapper. It isn’t a code generator. There is no required application source code in Java, Objective-C, Swift, or Kotlin. Moreover, a single React Native application targets both iOS and Android devices.

In this blog, we show a quick-start that results in an executing application on a phone, within five minutes. That application is live-reloadable, native cross-platform, and written in JavaScript. It is not a web application.

Java-Based UI Frameworks

Rik Scarborough Articles, Java, Programming 1 Comment

In today’s development environment, there is an abundance of frameworks that we can choose from for front-end or user interface (UI) work.

I was recently talking with a friend about UI development. He has also been a programmer since programming was considered an arcane art (when those of us that did it were considered like Gandalf the Grey facing the Balrog). Or maybe we just saw ourselves that way. Regardless, both of us have been Java programmers for a great deal of that time.

We both lamented the fact that it was a context switch to go from coding most of our projects in Java, then needing to switch to JavaScript for the front end.

Based on conversations I’ve seen online, several readers are warming up their keyboards to chide me for complaining about having to code in JavaScript. Keep your keys cool, both of us and our co-workers are experienced in, and happy to write in, JavaScript and any of its frameworks for our clients. But using JavaScript isn’t always the best approach.

 In this post, we introduce two frameworks that allow you to code your user interface in Java: GWT & Vaadin…
