AngularJS – complex webapps made simple

is what HTML would have been if it had been designed for building web applications. It provides your application’s plumbing so you can focus on what your app does, rather than how to get your web browser to do what you need.

Jaml – JavaScript HTML templating engine

Jaml is a small but delightful way of rendering HTML using JavaScript. It uses a simple DSL-like syntax to DRY up your code.There are only 2 steps – registering a template and rendering it. Let’s look at something simple first. On the left of each example is the source code, and on the right the rendered output.

Backbone.js

When working on a web application that involves a lot of JavaScript, one of the first things you learn is to stop tying your data to the DOM. It’s all too easy to create JavaScript applications that end up as tangled piles of jQuery selectors and callbacks, all trying frantically to keep data in sync between the HTML UI, your JavaScript logic, and the database on your server. For rich client-side applications, a more structured approach is helpful.
With Backbone, you represent your data as Models, which can be created, validated, destroyed, and saved to the server. Whenever a UI action causes an attribute of a model to change, the model triggers a “change” event; all the Views that display the model’s data are notified of the event, causing them to re-render. You don’t have to write the glue code that looks into the DOM to find an element with a specific id, and update the HTML manually — when the model changes, the views simply update themselves.

Sammy On Rails

Sammy has been very succinctly described as “a tiny javascript framework built on top of jQuery. It’s RESTful Evented JavaScript” by creator and fellow Brooklyn resident Quirkey A.K.A. Aaron Quint. Aaron started down the road toward creating Sammy when he found the metaphors employed in the Sinatra Ruby web framework applicable to the Javascript he was writing for modern web applications. I’ve had the distinct pleasure of watching this library evolve from a lark to a fully featured Javascript library, and I’m proud to say that not only have I deployed it in production, it is now a normal part of my Rails workflow. If you’ve never seen Sammy before, you’ll get a basic introduction to how it works here, but I highly recommend following Mr. Quint’s excellent tutorials, and browsing what has to be some of the best documented and well-tested Javascript around.
