An in-depth guide to exploring the design, architecture, and techniques behind building sophisticated, scalable, and maintainable single-page applications in JavaScriptAbout This Book·Build large-scale, feature-complete SPAs by leveraging widely used tools and techniques.·Gain a solid understanding of architecture and SPA design to build applications using the library or framework of your choice.·Explore the various facets of SPA development to build web apps that are fast, scalable, and easy to test.Who This Book Is ForThis book is ideal for JavaScript developers who want to build complex single-page applications in JavaScript. Some basic understanding of SPA concepts will be helpful but not essential.What You Will Learn·Organize your development environment using the command line with NPM, Bower, and Grunt.·Choose an accurate design pattern for your app·Understand modular JavaScript programming and Node.js·Interact with a REST API using JavaScript and AJAX with practical examples·Build a single page application using the MEAN stack·Connect your app across popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn·Test your app, both on the server side and in views·Prepare your app for the real world and deploy it to HerokuIn DetailSingle-page web applications—or SPAs, as they are commonly referred to—are quickly becoming the de facto standard for web app development. The fact that a major part of the app runs inside a single web page makes it very interesting and appealing. Also, the accelerated growth of browser capabilities is pushing us closer to the day when all apps will run entirely in the browser.This book will take your JavaScript development skills to the next level by teaching you to create a single-page application within a full-stack JavaScript environment. Using only JavaScript, you can go from being a front-end developer to a full-stack application developer with relative ease.You will learn to cross the boundary from front-end development to server-side development through the use of JavaScript on both ends. Use your existing knowledge of JavaScript by learning to manage a JSON document data store with MongoDB, writing a JavaScript powered REST API with Node.js and Express, and designing a front-end powered by AngularJS.This book will teach you to leverage the MEAN stack to do everything from document database design, routing REST web API requests, data-binding within views, and adding authentication and security to building a full-fledged, complex, single-page web application.In addition to building a full-stack JavaScript app, you will learn to test it with JavaScript-powered testing tools such as Mocha, Karma, and Jasmine. Finally, you will learn about deployment and scaling so that you can launch your own apps into the real world.Style and approachFollowing a structured approach, this book helps readers gain expertise in SPA development. Its thorough coverage of SPA architecture and design, along with practical use cases, provides readers with a clear path to building applications with the library of their choice. For readers who are afraid to take the plunge straightaway, the book also offers step-by-step guidance on developing a complex web app.

You're already a smart person, you don't need a 1000+ page book to get you started on the web's fastest growing programming platform. Instead, Learn Python in One Hour delivers on the promise of code literacy while saving your most precious commodity - time itself. Volkman's innovative programming-by-example approach means you focus on usage, not mindless detail. Based on the author's sold-out live seminars, you'll see Python's flexible coding technique in action as we refactor from script to procedural to object-oriented during actual problem solving. In a seven-lesson progression, you'll be exposed to this and more: Basic file input and output operations Exception handling with try/except Using functions to compute and return multiple values Basic elements of a class definition and how to call methods Lists, dictionaries, sets, and other collections Iteration through collections, files, sorted sets Converting lists to strings and vice-versa Six most common Python pitfalls Take the One Hour challenge and see if you too can pick up 90% of syntax and semantics in less time than you probably spend commuting each day.About the Author Victor R. Volkman graduated cum laude from Michigan Technological University with a BS in Computer Science in 1986. Since then, he has written for numerous publications, including The C Gazette, C++ Users Journal, Windows Developers Journal, and many others. He has taught college-level programming courses at Washtenaw Community College and has served on its Computer Information Science (CIS) Faculty Advisory Board for more than a decade. Volkman says Python helped him "rediscover the joy of programming again." www.volkman.org From Modern Software Press

Bu kitap “Bili?im Teknolojileri (BT) Ekonomisi ve Toplumu” adl? ilk kitab?mda BT’lerin hayat?m?z? de?i?tirdi?i d?rt yerdeki (Evde, okulda, kentlerde ve i?yerlerinde) incelememin ü?üncüsü olan i?yerlerindeki etkileri üzerinedir. Daha ?nce “Bili?im Teknolojileri Destekli ??renim” ve “Bili?im Kentleri ?a??” adl? kitaplar?mda BT’lerin okul ve kent ya?am?ndaki etkilerini detaylar?yla inceledim. 30 y?l? a?an i? hayat?mda BT’lerin i? dünyas?n? ve y?netimini kurulan Bili?im Sistemleri (BS) vas?tas?yla nas?l de?i?tirdi?ini ya?ayarak bildi?imden bu konu i?in uzun bir ara?t?rma yapmak zorunda oldu?umu biliyordum. Di?er yandan 592 sayfay? bulan bu ara?t?rmada sayfa s?n?rlamas? amac?yla BS’lerle ilgili baz? konular? (?rne?in Toplam Kalite Y?netimi, 6 Sigma, Simülasyon, Gereksinim Y?netimi, Programlama vs.) kitap haricinde b?rakmak zorunda kald???m? da belirtmeliyim. Bu kitapta a??rl?kl? olarak BT’lerin i?letmelerdeki uygulamas? olan Bili?im Sistemlerinden bahsettim ?ünkü BT’ler BS’ler vas?tas?yla i?letmeleri ve y?netimlerini etkilemektedirler. Dünyan?n en h?zl? bilgisayar?n? veya en yeni ak?ll? telefonunu sat?n alman?z veya en h?zl? internet eri?imine sahip olman?z i?letmeye ekstra bir katk? sa?lamamaktad?r. Ne zaman ki bu ara?lar i?letme süre?lerinin otomasyonunu sa?layan BS’ler i?inde kullan?lmaya ba?lan?nca i?letme rekabet?ili?ine, kar?na veya maliyetlerinin kontrolüne bir faydas? olabilmektedir. Bu yüzden i?letme y?neticilerinin bilmesi gereken en ?nemli konu BT ara?lar?n? ve di?er yeni teknolojik ara?lar? i?letme i? süre?lerinde nas?l verimli ve etkin bir ?ekilde kullanabileceklerini bilmeleridir. Bilmiyorlarsa da bilenleri i?e almalar?d?r. En son yenilikleri kullanmak belki de firmaya zarar vermekte veya rekabet dezavantaj? olu?turmaktad?r. Bu a??dan ?ncelikle bugün BS’lerin hangi i?letme fonksiyonlar?n? nas?l etkiledi?ini ve gelecekte nas?l etkileyebilece?ini anlatmaya ?al??t?m. ?rne?in, Yapay Zek? (YZ) ve onun en ?nemli uygulamalar?ndan birisi olan Robotiklerin i? süre?leri ve i?letme y?netimlerini yak?n bir zamanda nas?l etkileyebilece?inden bahsettim. Endüstri 4.0 teknolojileriyle insan ve makinelerin birlikte nas?l verimli ve etkin bir ?ekilde ?al??malar? gerekti?i insanl???n ve i?letmelerin ?nünde duran en ?nemli konulardan birisi oldu?unu s?ylemek fazla fütüristik bir kehanet de?il. Kitapta ??letmelerde kullan?lan Bili?im Sistemleriyle ilgili temel konulara bir bütünlük i?inde bakarken kitab?n arka kapa??ndaki sorular? cevaplamaya ?al??t?m. Bili?im Sistemleri aras?ndaki ili?kileri, farkl?l?klar?n? ve birbirlerini nas?l tamamlad?klar?n? sat?r aralar?nda vermeye ?al??t?m. BS’lerle i?letme süre?lerinin nas?l bütünle?tirilece?i i?letmelerdeki en yeni y?netim sorunlar? oldu?u unutulmamal?d?r. ??letme y?neticilerinin hat?rlamas? gereken bir ?nemli konuda BS’lerin bir yaz?l?m ve de?i?im projesi olmas?d?r. Bili?im Teknolojileri ve Sistemleri okuryazarl??? i?in bilinmesi gereken baz? teknik, bilimsel ve teknolojik terimlerin k?saltmalar?n? kitapta ilk kullan?ld???nda uzun ve k?salt?lm?? yaz?l?mlar?yla birlikte kulland?m. ?rne?in Veritabanlar? (VT), Veri ??leme Sistemi (V?S), Kurumsal ?? Zek?s? (K?Z), Y?netim Bili?im Sistemi (YBS), Karar Destek Sistemi (KDS), Veri Ambar? (VA), Veri Madencili?i (VM), Kurumsal Kaynak Planlama (KKP), Mü?teri ?li?kileri Y?netimi (M?Y), Tedarik Zinciri Y?netimi (TZY), Ofis Otomasyon Sistemi (OOS) ve Bilgi Y?netimi (BY) en fazla kulland???m k?saltmalard?r. Kitap sonundaki “K?saltmalar” tablosunda tüm k?saltmalar? listelemeye ?al??t?m. Ayr?ca bir?ok terimin ?ngilizcesini de parantez i?inde vermeye ?al??t?m. ?rne?in Veritabanlar? (Database) gibi. Dilimize girmi? bir?ok yabanc? teknik terim ve kelimelerin Türk?esini kullanmaya ?zen g?sterdim ve bu yabanc? kelimeleri de parantez i?inde yazd?m. Ayr?ca BT’lerin BS’ler vas?tas?yla i?letmeler üzerindeki etkilerini incelerken, birazda üniversitelerimizde YBS b?lümlerinde okutulan BS’lerle ilgili uzmanl?k konular?n?n ?o?unu ?zetlemeye ?al??t?m. ?zellikle i? Dünyas?nda ?ok?a kullan?lan baz? konulara (V?S, YBS, KDS, VT, VA, BY, US, KKP, M?Y, Sistem yakla??m?, SGYD vs.) biraz detayl? bakmaya ?al??t?m. K?sacas? kitapta i?letmelerde Bili?im Teknolojileri ve Sistemleri denince akla gelebilecek bir?ok konuya de?inmeye ?al??t?m. Bu yüzden bu kitab?n BS alan?nda bir elkitab? veya kaynak kitap olarak dü?ünülmesinde fayda vard?r. Bu kitapta ilkokul ??retmenim Say?n ?erare ?zya?c? han?mdan, en son Doktora tez dan??man?m say?n Prof. Dr. Len Rogers’a kadar yüzlerce ki?inin eme?inin oldu?u unutulmamal?d?r. 1984’ten beri Türkiye, ABD, Kanada ve ?ngiltere de ?al??t???m veya dan??manl???n? yapt???m onlarca firma ve mü?terilerimin katk?lar?n? unutabilir miyim?

MS-Access ve SQL Server yard?m?yla geli?tirdi?im 100’e yak?n veritaban? uygulama programlar?yla devam etti. 1996’da Dallas’ta MCI Systemhouse’da FrontPage ve Access 95’le veritaban?na dayal? Intranet web siteleri geli?tiren ilk ki?ilerden birisi ben oldum. 1999’da Movo Mediya’da ilk ??p?atan web sitesi www.dating.com'un?arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritabanlar?n? tasarlayan ve y?neten ki?i de bendim. 2000 y?l?nda Aris Genesis Intermedia Inc’de web tabanl? muhasebe program?n?n arkas?ndaki SQL Server veritaban? tasar?mc?lar?ndan biriside bendim. Büyük al??veri? merkezlerinde g?rülen Kiosk’lar?n SQL Server tabanl? ilk uygulamas?n? Los Angeles’de kuran Genesis Intermedia Inc’deki tasar?mlar? yapan ki?ilerden birisi de bendim. 2001’de Los Angeles’de SQL Server ve ASP 3.0’la Citibank’ta kredi kartlar?yla ilgili projenin mimarlar?ndan biriside bendim. K?sacas? Veritabanlar?n?n Web’de kullan?lmas?nda ilk ?al??an ve tasarlayanlardan birisi oldu?umu s?ylemeliyim. 1995-2000 y?llar? aras?nda ya?anan ve dot com bom olarak bilinen metaforun i?inde bir fiil ?al??an ve yarat?c?lar?ndan birisiydim. Veritabanlar?n?n Internet’e ba?lanmas? i?in geli?tirilen ilk projelerinde uzun y?llar Kalifornya, New York ve Colorado firmalar?nda ?al??t?m ve dan??manl?k yapt?m. Bu tecrübelerim s?ras?nda ??rendi?im en ?nemli ?ey; tek bir konuda uzman olmak gerekti?idir. Ben Ms-Access ve SQL Server veritabanlar? tasar?m?nda uzmanla?t?m. Bir?ok teklif olmas?na ra?men Oracle, DB2, Aproach, File Maker gibi veritabanlar? tasar?mlar?yla ilgilenmedim ?ünkü her biri ayr? bir uzmanl?k isteyen veritaban? yaz?l?mlar?d?r. Bu a??dan ?zellikle Bili?im sekt?ründe ?al??anlara verebilece?im en ?nemli tavsiye tek bir konuda hatta tek bir programda uzmanla?malar?d?r. Kitapta Veritabanlar? tasar?m?n? Access ve SQL Server projeleri üzerinden anlatmaya ?al??t?m. University of Phoenix’de verdi?im Veritabanlar? ve Veri Ambarlar? ders notlar?m bu kitab?n omurgas?n? olu?turmaktad?r.
