By Rey Bango It’s been a long time since I last coded on the server-side. In fact, if you’ve read some of my tutorials, you may have noticed that I use ColdFusion as my application server.

Here’s an example: App.Item = Ember.Object.extend(); App.Item.reopenClass({ all: function() { return $.getJSON(‘http://api.ihackernews.com/page?format=jsonp&callback=?’).then(function(response) […]
By Patkos Csaba The Repository Design Pattern, defined by Eric Evens in his Domain Driven Design book, is one of the most useful and most widely applicable design patterns ever invented. Any application has to work with persistence and with some kind of list of items. These can be users, products, networks, disks, or whatever […]

In this article I’d like to cover one approach to deploy your backend system to your production server. We’ll go through the following steps, by example of a Laravel […]
By Maciej Sopyło 3D graphics in the browser have been a hot topic ever since it was first introduced. But if you were to create your apps using plain WebGL, it would take ages. This is exactly why some really useful libraries have recently came about. Three.js is one of the most popular, and in […]
