Moving the web forward

Job done.


justinjackson.ca/words.html


Technology, to serve a goal.


Focus on this goal.

Implementation is a detail.



Don’t be religious

DHTML!Flash



Ajax!Flash



Silverlight!Flash



Native!HTML/JS!


Technologies, come and go.



There are safe bets.


There are safe bets.But you want to differentiate.



Don’t place a technology.



Use the best one to do the job.




Probably one you don’t know (and that’s good).




Probably one you don’t know (and that’s good).

You want to keep learning.


Preconceived ideas.


A few examples.


JavaScript is for “scripting” only.



http://www.unrealengine.com/html5/




















asmjs.organ extraordinarily optimizable, low-level subset of JavaScript


JavaScript is not object-oriented.


ES6


// entities.jsmodule entities { export class Person {

private message = "Hi my name is ";

constructor (public name, public age, public town){ this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; }

talk(){ return this.message + this.name; }

get isAbove18(){ return this.age >= 18; }}


But what if I want static-typing?


www.typescriptlang.org


http://www.typescriptlang.org

http://www.typescriptlang.org

// entities.jsmodule entities { export class Person {

private message :string = "Hi my name is ";

constructor (public name: string, public age: number, public town: string){ this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; }

talk(){ return this.message + this.name; }

get isAbove18(){ return this.age >= 18; }}


Which will generate plain ES5 compatible JS.


var Person = (function () { function Person(name, age, town) { this.name = name; this.age = age; this.town = town; this.message = "Hi my name is "; this.name = name; this.age -‐ age; this.town = town; } Person.prototype.talk = function () { return this.message + this.name; };

Object.defineProperty(Person.prototype, "isAbove18", { get: function () { return this.age >= 18; }, enumerable: true, configurable: true }); return Person;})();


C# is for Windows only.






And for apps?


Xamarin



C++ is way too low-level.


C++11


#include "stdafx.h" #include <stdint.h>#include <iostream>#include <vector>#include <algorithm> int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[]){ std::vector<uint32_t> data = { 234, 76767, 43, 343, 4322, 33, 122 }; std::sort(data.begin(), data.end(), [] (uint32_t a, uint32_t b) { return a < b; }); for (auto i = data.begin(); i < data.end(); i++) { std::cout << *i << std::endl; } class MyClass { public: MyClass(size_t size) : m_size(size) { } MyClass(const char *str) : MyClass(strlen(str)) { } size_t Size() { return m_size; } private: size_t m_size; }; MyClass obj("Hello!"); std::cout << obj.Size() << std::endl; return 0;}


You can’t develop an iOS/Android app with a functional programming

language.


Have a look at F#Functional programming language on .NET


Multicore and web apps? No way.

Writing to learn.


If you can explain it, you got it.


You don’t have to write a book.But the commitment is big (that’s good!).


Share what you know (blog, Twitter).Code in the open (contribute and share).


sourcing.io



What other things can you do?


I cook.

Reward.


Commit, persevere, and enjoy the process.It needs to become a routine.
