Wrangling Large Scale Frontend Web ApplicationsRyan Roemer
Web applications are massively shifting to the frontend, thanks to exciting new JavaScript / CSS technologies, expanding browser capabilities (visualizations, real-time apps, etc.) and faster perceived user experiences. However, client web applications can be a nightmare to maintain at scale, even for seasoned software architects and operations engineers. Deployment and production infrastructures are complex and rapidly changing. And, frontend JavaScript / CSS code ships to browsers worldwide, where errors and issues are notoriously difficult to systematically detect and diagnose.
In this talk, we will tackle the wild west of the frontend with pragmatic steps and seasoned advice from helping organizations from startups to Fortune 500 companies create some of the largest frontend web applications on the Internet. In particular, we will examine the many hard lessons gleaned from leading frontend application development and education for a team of 50+ engineers rearchitecting a top-five e-commerce site. Some of the topics we will cover include:
* Managing and building very large (500K+ line) frontend application / test code bases.
* Surviving production traffic and errors on the frontend and handling spikes like Black Friday / Cyber Monday for one of the highest traffic e-commerce websites in existence.
* How, where, and why your frontend application is likely to fail.
* Monitoring, logging, and debugging frontend web applications out in the wild.
* Automating checks, tests, and code introspection to protect your code in production.
* Creating an effective, fast, and engineer-friendly development-test-deployment frontend pipeline.
Whether your frontend application already supports millions of transactions a day or you are about to launch your first single-page-application, our aim is to prepare teams of all sizes for the most critical challenges and solutions facing modern frontend web applications.
A modern front end development workflow for Magnolia at AtlassianMagnolia
This talk was given by Nicolas Barbé, Magnolia, and William Paoli, Atlassian, at Magnolia Conference 2015 in Foster City, California.
The recommended development process for Magnolia is based on a Java stack and its ecosystem. It provides the best foundations to customize the back-end or create new content applications. However, implementing a new template or modifying an existing theme with standard front-end practices can be a challenging task.
In this talk, William and Nicolas describe how Atlassian, the creator of JIRA and Confluence, has built a modern front-end development workflow with Magnolia. How they decouple the back-end and front-end release process to deliver incremental changes to the user.
This document discusses different aspects of JavaScript including backend frameworks like MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS and NodeJS. It also covers bundling tools like Browserify and Webpack for ES6 JavaScript as well as transpiling with Babel. Finally, it mentions frontend component libraries like ReactJS, Polymer and Web Components for building user interfaces with nested and reusable components.
How to Build Front-End Web Apps that Scale - FutureJSPhil Leggetter
Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that code is consistent, well structured, tested, maintainable and has an architecture that encourages enhancement is essential. When it comes to large server-focused apps, solutions to this problem have been tried and tested. But, with the ongoing dramatic shift of functionality into the browser, how do you achieve this when building Front-End Web Apps?
In this talk we’ll cover the signs to watch out for as your HTML5 SPA grows and provide examples of some of the tooling types that can contribute-to - as well as ease - the growing pains. Finally, we’ll demonstrate how tooling can be used to support a set of conventions, practices and principles that enable a productive developer workflow where the first line of code is feature code, features can be developed in isolation, code conflicts are avoided by grouping assets by feature and features are composed into apps.
The demonstrations will use the BladeRunnerJS open source developer toolkit, but the concepts are widely applicable.
Growing to become one of the largest sites on the Internet comes with a unique set of problems. Learning how to and adopt, and doing so without losing sight of content creator's voice proves tricky. This talk details some of the frontend tools we've built and approaches we've taken to service our millions of users at scale.
This document discusses various tools used in the front end development workflow including scaffolding tools like Yeoman to prepare a project structure, package managers like npm and Bower to manage dependencies, and build tools like Grunt to build the project. It provides examples of how each tool is used and highlights key differences between front end and back end development as well as JavaScript and Java projects.
In the last few years, there has been a trend towards shifting the business logic of web apps from the backend to the frontend, with the backend being delegated to a simple API. This makes the choice of a frontend framework that much more important. In 2015 we've seen a vast amount of new innovation in web development. We'll discuss the trends in this techtalk.

The Frontend Developer Landscape Explained and the Rise of Advanced Frontend ...Prasid Pathak
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

The document discusses the challenges of front-end development without proper tools and methodologies. It describes tag soup code that is difficult to read and maintain. It also discusses issues like duplicate code, global variables, lack of module loading and dependencies. The document then introduces concepts like package management, CSS preprocessors, JavaScript module loaders, transpilers and build tools that help address these issues. It argues these tools help create a foundation for building user interfaces and applications in a more efficient and sustainable way.
This document discusses JavaScript promises as an abstraction pattern for handling asynchronous code. It explains why promises are useful by describing some of the issues with callback-based asynchronous code, such as callback hell and lack of readability. The document then provides examples of how to create and use promises to handle sequential and parallel asynchronous tasks in a more maintainable way using chaining and batching. It also discusses how promises are supported in browsers, Node.js, and common promise libraries like Q, RSVP, when.js, and Bluebird.
Git is a distributed version control system that was created in 2005 as an alternative to centralized version control systems like CVS or Subversion. It uses a peer-to-peer model where developers have local copies of the codebase on their own machines allowing them to work offline and commit changes independently. Changes are synchronized to a central repository when developers push their commits.
The document discusses the Wretch API for integrating with the miiiCasa system. It provides an overview of the Wretch API including endpoints for retrieving album lists, content, articles, and posting photos. It also provides suggestions for improving the API such as using YQL to access the data, standardizing the response format, supporting additional platforms like Facebook, and adding RSS feed functionality.
This document discusses the benefits of using the YUI library for JavaScript development. It highlights features like the YUI loader, widget architecture based on Base and plugins, and utilities for DOM manipulation, events, animation and more. The document also mentions how YUI supports progressive enhancement, accessibility, internationalization and building scalable web applications.
This document discusses front-end modular and automated development. It introduces modular development principles like separating code into independent and reusable modules, using namespaces to avoid naming collisions, and loosely coupling modules through a messaging system to reduce dependencies. It also describes techniques like minification and static file caching to improve performance. Overall, the document advocates designing applications in a modular way to make the codebase more maintainable and extensible.
The document discusses Yahoo's open platform which includes standards like OAuth and OpenID for authentication. It covers various dashboard, API, and markup languages to build applications.
