The common anecdote is that Google used Angular to make the the Doubleclick advertiser interface, which is just as big if not bigger than the Wordpress admin interface. It turned out to be great, with much less lines of code than what they

I would generally agree with your point. I wouldn't want my company judging me based on photos they find of me on messing around with friends on Facebook. That would be pretty low. However, these are two different situations. It's different

Accusations? There's nothing to be taken on faith in the post. All facts are backed up by proof. There's nothing to "trust". Just stuff to agree/disagree with.

Deeper issues? I respect John and his blog a lot, but this post is a bit of bologna. Kevin Lynch had faith in his product and was defending it when under scrutiny, just as the Adobe CTO should. It wasn't even that obvious that Flash would t

Interesting that his girl advice was to suppress your geekiness, not own it.

A lot of my non technical friends use Google Groups. Other than a few extra drop downs during set-up, it seems to me that there's literally no functional difference in the two services. I don't know how they can blatantly lie and tell buyer

Well, Danielle isn't really trying to solve problems here. They're not getting her business, and that's that. She's simply calling them out on their Twitter BS, because eventually somebody had to.

It's not. And it's totally understandable how this could pass for humor in middle school.

I can't explain in terms of Backbone but I'll do my best to clear things up for you anyway. In Angular, you have a magic $scope variable that is available both in your controller function, and in the section of HTML that the controller is b

Can someone explain why something like this is better than a simple to-do list/app? I'm a fan of GTD apps because they're a place I can structure my thoughts of what's next, and see some performance metrics to remind me when I'm slacking.

Are you able to write large applications like this without things getting too messy? I'm interested because I usually write JavaScript in the complete opposite way than you just described (strictly OOP, almost like I'm writing Java). This a

This article should have mentioned node.io ( https://github.com/chriso/node.io ) for completeness. It hasn't been updated in a while and I'm not sure if other frameworks have popped up, but I've had a pleasure using it for some big scraping

I suggest you try it out, I think your lines of code will greatly decrease. The biggest reason I prefer to program in Angular over Backbone is that I simply don't have to write rendering logic code because of data-binding. There's no "rende

That works fine to an extent, but sometimes you want your menus integrated with your game and have consistent graphics and animations and so on. I used dom elements for snaketron, but in hindsight I think it felt tacky (it might partly have

Ragarding your edit: A startup called famo.us( http://famo.us ) is focusing on exactly this (canvas based UIs) however I'm not completely sold that this is the future. It's an awful lot of wheel reinventing. They're doing it in the name of

I'd recommend the book "Venture Deals: Be Smarter Than Your Lawyer and Venture Capitalist" for any entrepreneur seeking funding, especially if you feel in over your head with all this due diligence talk.

I'm actually a fan of the name, it's unique. Might sound like a joke until you know that it's not. And it only takes too long to type the first time, auto complete takes care of it for the rest of your life. Here's how it looks for me: &#60

What a complete waste of money. It's as if they actually expect the cops to sit down and continuously monitor all 200 cameras all day. Horrible waste of tax money on two fronts. Also, say some cop does happen to see a kid walking out of sch

To just set everything up, several days to a week sounds extreme to me. The VM should hold the code, framework, db, etc.. It's basically a clone of the production environment that lives inside a VM on my host machine. It has a shared folder

“In the year 2000… you will be able to instantly replicate your colleague’s dev environment on your own computer.” Non issue, most companies use VMs for their dev environments for this reason among others.

JavaScript is harder to learn for noobs, it's just easier to get "hello world" working than other languages. I don't think anyone with a good grasp of JS would ever recommend it to someone as a first language.
