JS Promises
While synchronous code is easier to follow and debug, async is generally better for performance and flexibility. Why "hold up the show" when you can trigger numerous requests at once and then handle them when each is ready? Promises are becoming a big part of the JavaScript world, with many new APIs being implemented with the promise philosophy. Let's take a look at promises, the API, how it's used!

Promises will only become more prevalent so it's important that all front-end developers get used to them. It's also worth noting that Node.js is another platform for Promises (obviously, as Promise is a core language feature).

JavaScript : Maybe it could be compared to English, it isn’t a perfect language, it has lots of broken parts, a load of dialects of which only a subset of the language could be considered "globally understood" and many many people don’t really use it all that well. The universal language should have been well thought out and far more rational and organised, but I don’t speak Esperanto, do you? We are not going to get rid of English.

CamanJS

CamanJS is (ca)nvas (man)ipulation in Javascript. It's a combination of a simple-to-use interface with advanced and efficient image/canvas editing techniques.

CamanJS is very easy to extend with new filters and plugins, and it comes with a wide array of image editing functionality, which continues to grow. It's completely library independent and works both in NodeJS and the browser.

CamanJS is written in Coffeescript as of version 3.0. It works both in-browser and in NodeJS.

A-Frame is a web framework for building virtual reality (VR) experiences. Originally from Mozilla, A-Frame was developed to be an easy but powerful way to develop VR content. As an independent open source project, A-Frame has grown to be one of the largest and most welcoming VR communities.


A-Frame is based on top of HTML, making it simple to get started. But A-Frame is not just a 3D scene graph or a markup language; the core is a powerful entity-component framework that provides a declarative, extensible, and composable structure to three.js.


A-Frame supports most VR headsets such as Vive, Rift, Windows Mixed Reality, Daydream, GearVR, Cardboard, and can even be used for augmented reality. Although A-Frame supports the whole spectrum, A-Frame aims to define fully immersive interactive VR experiences that go beyond basic 360� content, making full use of positional tracking and controllers.

#FoodForThought

Food for Thought

Following is the code to alert max number in an array. Can you think of a way to get the result without using loops ? Explore it yourself...


var numbers = [4,76,455,56,90,22];
var max = 0;
for(i=0;i<numbers.length;i++){
if(numbers[i]>max){
max = numbers[i];
}
}
alert("Maximum Number : "+max);

#Events: Month of WebXR

This is a four-week hands on workshop on

* Creating VR/AR applications using A-Frame and AR.js
* Creating 3D art using Blender and Krita

What do you need to bring :

* Make sure you are getting a *Laptop* (BYOD)
* A mouse with middle click scroll/button (necessary to do Blender)

Schedule :

The entire series will run in two parallel tracks of Art & Tech.

Art Track :

We use open source software Blender & Krita to learn about creating 3D art. At the end of the workshop you will have an understanding of what goes into creating 3D models for your applications.

Tech Track :

We use open source frameworks threejs, Aframe and Ar.js to learn about creating applications. Our goal is to make you confident enough to explore and create a web application using the 3D model you have created in the art track.

Natural Language Processing with NoSQL and JavaScript

In this article we'll see how to apply sentiment analysis on film (movie) reviews. Sentiment analysis means, that, based on an unknown review, an algorithm can decide whether a newly added review is positive (i.e. the review liked the film) or negative (i.e. the reviewer did not like the film).

Pug.js to make your life easier with HTML templates

Pug.js is a HTML templating engine, which means you can write much simpler Pug code, which Pug compiler will compile into HTML code, that browser can understand. But why not write HTML code in the first place?

Pug has powerful features like conditions, loops, includes, mixins using which we can render HTML code based on user input or reference data. Pug also support JavaScript natively, hence using JavaScript expressions, we can format HTML code.

An application of that would be Email Templates to send email customized to particular user.

Creating a Markdown editor/previewer in Electron and Vue.js

To explore Electron, we will build a Markdown editor with live preview of generated HTML, using an HTML template of your choice. The UI will be built with a combination of Vue.js, Bulma/Buefy, and the ACE editor component.

Vue.js is a framework for implementing components that run in the web browser. Vue.js applications are built using these components and in theory one could build the UI entirely with Vue.js plus custom-developed CSS and JavaScript. But, again, there are several open source projects offering prebaked UI components with responsive web best practices built-in.

Building a Hangman Game with Vue.js

Working on a project that you are motivated to build is one of the most effective ways to learn how to code. This is a fun little project to learn about Vue.js, HTML and CSS.

To build the Hangman game, we will explore a few of Vue’s core features:
* Declarative Rendering and Template Syntax.
* List Rendering.
* Event Handling and Methods.
* Conditional Rendering.
