d3.js – a small JavaScript library for manipulating documents based on data.
March 8, 2011
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.

jQote (pronounced like Star Trek’s Chakotey) is basically a rewrite of John Resig’s awesome JavaScript Micro-Templating utility. I took his code and ported it to jQuery, overhauled the parsing / conversion part and extended it’s functionality to minimize everyone’s coding efforts.

CouchApps are JavaScript and HTML5 applications served directly from CouchDB. If you can fit your application into those constraints, then you get CouchDB’s scalability and flexibility “for free” (and deploying your app is as simple as replicating it to the production server).

vaadin – java framework for Rich UI

Vaadin is a web application framework for Rich Internet Applications (RIA). In contrast to Javascript libraries and browser-plugin based solutions, it features a server-side architecture, which means that the largest part of the logic runs on the server. Ajax technology is used on the browser side to ensure a rich and interactive user experience.
Vaadin is not new. Vaadin development began in 2000 as an internal product of IT Mill. It was officially open-sourced in December 2007 under the name IT Mill Toolkit 5. In 2009, the name was changed to Vaadin – we think Vaadin sounds a lot cooler!

CoffeeScript – a terse dsl for javascript

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath all of those embarrassing braces and semicolons, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous object model at its heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.
The golden rule of CoffeeScript is: “It’s just JavaScript”. The code compiles one-to-one into the equivalent JS, and there is no interpretation at runtime.
