Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks: Adventures in Better Web Apps: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks: Adventures in Better Web Apps" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Whether you need a new tool or just inspiration, Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks explores modern options, giving you a taste of each with ideas that will help you create better apps. Youll see frameworks that leverage modern programming languages, employ unique architectures, live client-side instead of server-side, or embrace type systems. Youll see everything from familiar Ruby and JavaScript to the more exotic Erlang, Haskell, and Clojure.
The rapid evolution of web apps demands innovative solutions: this survey of frameworks and their unique perspectives will inspire you and get you thinking in new ways to meet the challenges you face daily.
This book covers seven web frameworks that are influencing modern web applications and changing web development: Sinatra, CanJS, AngularJS, Ring, Webmachine, Yesod, Immutant. Each of these web frameworks brings unique and powerful ideas to bear on building apps.
Embrace the simplicity of Sinatra, which sheds the trappings of large frameworks and gets back to basics with Ruby. Live in the client with CanJS, and create apps with JavaScript in the browser. Be declarative with AngularJS; say what you want, not how to do it, with a mixture of declarative HTML and JavaScript. Turn the web into data with Ring, and use Clojure to make data your puppet. Become a master of advanced HTTP with Webmachine, and focus the power of Erlang. Prove web theorems with Yesod; see how Haskells advanced type system isnt just for academics. Develop in luxury with Immutant, an enlightened take on the enterprise framework.
Seven Web Frameworks will influence your work, no matter which framework you currently use.
Welcome to a wider web.
What You Need:
Youll need Windows, MacOS X or Linux, along with your favorite web browser. Each chapter will cover what you need to download and which language versions are required.

Early Praise for Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks

The title implies a breadth-first analysis of some fairly disparate technologies, but there is a surprising amount of depth here, more than enough to emphasize the essential qualities of each one. If youre a polyglot, or aspire to be, this book is a very large ball of awesome.

Jim Crossley
Immutant core team member; principal software engineer, Red Hat

Objective and clear. More than an introduction, its a head start! Just as wide and as deep as any modern developer would like. I definitely recommend it.

Pablo Aguiar
Software engineering consultant

This book is great fun. The authors guide you quickly through each framework, in each case giving you a fast but clear, coherent, and surprisingly detailed taste that includes major features, design philosophy, implementation, and testing, plus hints for further investigation. Two JavaScript frameworks, one Ruby, one Haskell, two Clojure, and one Erlang. If you like web programming, youre going to enjoy this book.

Giles Bowkett
Experienced developer and well-known blogger

I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. In fact, the Yesod chapter even gave me fresh ideas on how to expose non-Haskellers to the strengths of a strong type system.

Michael Snoyman
Creator of Yesod; lead software engineer, FP Complete

Foreword

In 2003, I took my family to Durango, Colorado, where we rode on the Durango & Silverton train. The narrow gauges of the railroad once served well against the narrow red sandstone cliffs, where every inch of space was at a premium. These days, the train is a relic of the past, rendered obsolete by cars and planes that are safer and more efficient. Time marches on.

Today, too, we witness revolution. Single-core computers are dead or dying. True, their multicore descendants are technical marvels. They also represent a tremendous technical challenge. The languages we used to depend on do not work as well as they once did. As a result, we are seeing a new generation of languages emerge. So far, no one has been kind enough to declare a winner.

Against this backdrop in 2010, I wrote Seven Languages in Seven Weeks . In truth, I didnt expect it to sell many copies. After all, it was a book about languages in a Java world; a book about programming paradigms in a time where everything was object oriented. Still, programmers sensed the danger of our stagnating skills and embraced the concept that learning programming languages for the sake of learning them can make you smarter and better able to cope with change. The book was a resounding success.

Three years later, theres still no clear leader, though functional programming is starting to gain traction. Were finding that the multicore wafer tossed into our virtual pond years ago has created waves that are increasing in size and velocity. We need more than inheritance to organize our code. We need robust frameworks on the client to handle the robust development that is happening there. And we need true concurrent frameworks to take full advantage of their concurrent languages.

Its just not enough to lay wider tracks over the narrow tracks we used last year.

In this book, Fred and Jack will show you the leading edge of people who are reinventing the way web development should be done. Youll see a traditional object-oriented framework called Sinatra. Youll move on to the client side, where exciting things are happening with JavaScript. Youll take a tour of CanJS and AngularJS to see how to do full, rich client-side development. Next, youll swing back to the server side to see whats happening in functional languages. Youll encounter two Clojure frameworks in the minimalist Ring and the robust Immutant. Youll see a state machine--based design in Erlang called WebMachine. If those arent enough to blow your mind, youll find the incredibly powerful Haskell framework called Yesod.

The Seven in Seven books are designed to expand your mind. I am extremely proud to bring you this next installment, Seven Web Frameworks in Seven Weeks . Its my sincerest hope that this book will take you beyond whatever tracks are holding you back.
