Isomorphism – is an ability to run the same code and generate UI on server side as well as on client. It owes it`s appearance to the power of Node to run server side Javascript and became really popular in recent years after ReactJS established. Isomorphism is one of the hottest and on demand topics in Web development at the moment. This is right time to assess it`s value and effect and to review isomorphism as a one more leap towards new kinds of architectures and solutions. This article is a dive into one of them – viral Javascript technique which is used for Web applications P2P delivery.

Web applications performance

In recent time Web development community had a big discussion on “DOM is slow” topic. This thesis is truthful. DOM is a quite complex model which starts a ripple of events or chain reaction over document on every modification. This impacts animations first of all.  Since desktop browsers are mostly fine with handling animations at 60 FPS, mobile and embedded devices still provide bad, janky user experience.

Jet Propulsion Laboratory – scientific institution making a lot of research and development for NASA. JPL have been developing software for most of unmanned missions in the field of deep space and other planets exploration. Their portfolio includes such famous missions as Curiosity Mars rover and Voyager probe which left solar system after 25 years of flight and still providing scientific information. High level of automation and long duration of missions led to superior demands to software quality. As a result of JPL amazing experience a set of code guidelines was developed and published recently. Since demands to web-driven software constantly increase and more critical tasks are entrusted to JavaScript, lets apply NASA coding guidelines to JavaScript / HTML applications for higher performance, reliability and the better world.

Better composition and code reusing are top important topics of modern front-end development. Great solution for this is web-components technology but it requires few polyfills in order to work properly in modern browsers. This impacts performance and reliability. ReactiveElements allows to use React.js for web-components definition, avoid including most of polyfills and build project with web-components right now.

UPD: You may use MVC Elements in order to create Web Components of Angular and Backbone views.

Hi!

I`m front-end developer with passion for experiments and performance optimization. As interaction designer I was hippy to work for National Olympic Сommittee, Timur Bekmambetov, Nissan Auto etc. I`m based in Amsterdam and believe it`s a sunrise of interactive revolution.




Web performance workshop

Challenging native is a full day workshop and e-book we are working on together with Yurii Luchaninov. In recent years web technologies became a silver bullet for UI, crossplatform development. However we still have a lot of discussion on it pros and cons. The most critical issue developers face creating web apps is a performance comparing to native applications. A lot of "know how" is required in order to produce HTML / JS application which is as fast as iOS or Android native. This project is a short practical guide into web performance which cover all aspects you need to know to create fast applications and stunning interactive experiences able to challenge native platforms.


Interested? Submit this application and we notify you when full-day Challenging Native workshop is going to happen at your place
