Leaving JSPs in the dust: moving LinkedIn to dust.js client-side templates | LinkedIn Engineering

January 12, 2012 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Today, javascript templates are one of the key components of our front-end infrastructure strategy: they enable browser/CDN template caching, they allow for a cleaner separation of presentation tier concerns, and at the same time, they enable greater unification of our front-end stacks across the company.
We are actively building and migrating some of our core properties to client-templates to achieve our overall objectives. The next blog post will focus more on the challenges we faced in embracing dust.js templates, including the solutions we are building to extend dust.js for static content flushing, rendering logic, formatting, i18n, and A/B testing partials.

Backbone Fundamentals – A Free Work-In-Progress Book For Developers Of All Levels

January 5, 2012 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Backbone Fundamentals hopes to change that. Whilst still a work-in-progress, my goal is to try adding something new or improving the book in some way everyday. That level of consistency can’t be promised forever, but I want to do my best to centralize the knowledge and experience I (and hopefully some other Backbone users) have learned somewhere that’s easy for developers of any level to just pick up.

JesCov – JavaScript code coverage

November 26, 2011 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

JesCov is an open source tool for measuring code coverage of JavaScript. It makes it possible to find out both line and branch coverage from any ES3-compliant source code. It is not tied to any particular testing framework, but the only current integration point is for Jasmine. The general approach is based on a JSON data interchange format, which means some of the reporting tools could potentially be used against data collected in some other way than running the core JesCov project.

d3.js – a small JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data.

March 8, 2011 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

D3 is not a traditional visualization framework. Rather than provide a monolithic system with all the features anyone may ever need, D3 solves only the crux of the problem: efficient manipulation of documents based on data. This gives D3 extraordinary flexibility, exposing the full capabilities of underlying technologies such as CSS3, HTML5 and SVG. It avoids learning a new intermediate proprietary representation. With minimal overhead, D3 is extremely fast, supporting large datasets and dynamic behaviors for interaction and animation. And, for those common needs, D3’s functional style allows code reuse through a diverse collection of optional modules.

Backbone.js Tutorial with Rails

February 9, 2011 by Brent Sordyl 0 Comments

Backbone.js really introduces a new kind of data flow for Rails apps. Instead of data flowing like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Rails View
It now flows like this:
Rails Model => Rails Controller => Backbone Model => Backbone Controller => Backbone View
