8:30 – 6:00 SR

• DB Backups
• More work on getting our SA accounts.
• Status reports – done
• 2:00 meeting – went well, met Ronda. The accounts have been switched over and Ronda can log in, but she can’t create an SSH tunnel. She’s working on that.
• So, since YUI is not going to be supported by Yahoo any more, it looks like it’s time to find a new framework. On their announcement pages, the YUI team suggests Backbone, React, Ember, Polymer and Angular. Going to look at those today, as well as famo.us, which was in closed beta when I chose YUI.
  • Angular. Fashionable and buzzword compliant. It looks like it uses the Parasitic Combination Inheritance pattern from YUI, or at least that’s what it looks like in this example: http://winkervsbecks.github.io/angularWebglDirective/
  • And there are a lot of resources
    • thinkster.io/
    • simplygoodcode.com/, in particular, How to make an email web app using Angular and AngularJS Game Programming: Making Minesweeper
    • egghead.io’s angular page
    • Amazon’s list of Angular books
    • The Angular Youtube Channel
    • And this looks like a good place to start. It’s written from a team that seems to have many of the issues that we seem to be dealing with, and also covers inheritance.
  • Backbone appears to be loosing support.
