Albeit a great resource for the community to continue to produce tutorials like these on front-end frameworks, 'Web Applications Done Right' is a complete nonsense notion for what was presented. What would be hugely beneficial for beginners is someone who would take the time to go through a large-scale web app using one of these technologies. In my experience building large-scale front-end applications, I had to resort to using techniques that aren't really documented anywhere with good examples (extracting objects into presenters, decorators, dynamic template inheritance, etc...).
These simple one-page apps are great as an initial learning resource - but it leaves people not understanding what they're getting themselves into later on down the road.
- joachimhs 13y agoThank you for you comments. This is one of the goals that I am trying to achieve through my book-in-progress Ember.js in Action (Manning Publications). And I do agree. Examples of large-scale applications built with any of the MVC-based frameworks is lacking.
- johnernaut 13y agoBook looks interesting - I'll have to dig into that. Thanks!
- wodow 13y agoLike a bigger TodoMVC? http://todomvc.com/ http://todomvc.com/
- apg 13y agoThat's a nice reference. Perhaps ironically, and definitely IMO, vanilla-js looks to be the simplest. Followed by jquery.
- ebiester 13y agoI have the same idea, myself. I have an idea ruminating on a better example than todomvc, but am unsure about the time commitment for the full scope of my idea. At this point, I'm thinking of doing a "stone soup" approach by putting up horrible examples of each, writing an incendiary post on HN, and relying on the outrage of the community to rewrite it properly. laughs
