  • React is 10 years old
    Got it thanks for the context. I've read the web app and it seems to me it is just https://backbonejs.org/ re-written in Typescript and allows JSX. I'm very certain Typescript and JSX will have improved the DX for Backbone like apps, but it doesn't address all of the other issues that teams had with Backbone. e.g. Cyclical event propagation, state stored in the DOM (i.e. Appendchild is error prone in large code... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Just Simply – Stop saying how simple things are in our docs
    Even further nowadays, docs are created using Docusaurus. I don't have problem with it but documentation should be good (eye) friendly than easy to write. Why not be creative while writing docs such as - Backbone.js - https://backbonejs.org Or https://backbonejs.org/docs/backbone.html as code annotation. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
  • The Emperor's New Library
    What we see, a decade ago, are that many of the "popular" libraries, frameworks, and methods, not surprisingly, have gone by the wayside, a lot that have remained in current code as difficult-to-removemodernize legacy cruft (Bower, Gulp, Grunt, Backbone, Angular 1, ...), and then we have the small minority that are still here. Some that remain have had their utility lessened/questioned by platform and language... - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
  • How To Choose The Right Framework For Your Next Node.js App.
    Backbone.js gives structure to web applications by providing models with key-value binding and custom events, collections with a rich API of enumerable functions, views with declarative event handling, and connects it all to your existing API over a RESTful JSON interface.

  • Ajax requests fail after upgrading to Cordova 5.0 + cordova-android@4.0
    The ajax request is made via a call to Backbone.sync() of Backbone.js, which ultimately calls jquery's $.ajax(). I haven't changed anything about how the call is made... Just upgraded cordova. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Rate my build? Web dev GF recomends it.
    My gf said it was the best. She uses backbone.js she good dev. Source: almost 2 years ago
  • Why do we need a Single Page Application? [closed]
    A lot of SPA frameworks and libraries also were developed. We can find out some of its on the internet. They are AngularJs, Reactjs, BackboneJs, DurandalJs,.. And a lot of third party components to make the Javascript coding more easy like RequireJs, Amplifyjs, BreezeJs... Source: about 2 years ago
  • Angular: A shift in paradigm
    As the internet became faster, and more reliable, and as browsers unified into “evergreen” releases, developers accepted JSON to be the only shape of data needed to travel on wires. A few years back I posted a question of which was a better framework: serving fully processed HTML scripts over Ajax, or only JSON that would be populated on client-side. See, back then, populating JSON was hand crafted, before... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • SSGs through the ages: The 'SPAs are awesome' era
    In the early 2010s — while Jekyll was being reinvented — web browsers were becoming ever more capable, spurring a proliferation of companies developing single-page applications. However, building single-page web applications required a level of shared data consistency that the most popular JavaScript framework at the time, JQuery, was not equipped to handle. We saw a number of frameworks tackle this problem,... - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • "Hype" & "Garbage"? An Honest Look at the State of JavaScript Survey's Track Record
    If for some reason all 5,000 remaining Backbone.js developers on the planet all decided to take the survey the same year and pick Backbone as their number one favoritest framework ever, then that year's results would look very strange for sure. You'd see headlines about Backbone's resurgence and recruiters would start asking for five years of Backbone experience. - Source: dev.to / about 2 years ago
  • Vue.js is Wikimedia Foundation's future JavaScript framework
    I had no idea that a Vue component is basically a big JS object. Reminds me of Backbone.js' views: https://backbonejs.org/#View. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago
  • How to work with APIs at a higher level
    I come from using Backbone (https://backbonejs.org/), and it has separate classes for collections and models. This is useful because I can do things like build validation at the model level, save an entire collection to the API at once, listen to/track changes to models, etc etc... Source: almost 3 years ago
  • New job uses backbone. Best resources to prepare?
    Backbone is extremely simple. You should understand JQuery, the idea of "prototypes" in JS, and you should look at the official documentation, which is still up here. Source: about 3 years ago
  • New job uses Backbone. What’s the best way to prepare?
    Backbone has its own documentation and so does handlebars. Source: about 3 years ago
  • Web Dev needs some advice.
    Over 2 years of experience as a LAMP stack developer. Latest project; an open-source help-desk ticket managing application called UVdesk. This project is built on top of the Symfony framework, utilizing the Backbone.js library for front-end. Source: about 3 years ago
