DESCRIPTION

The way we think about building web applications is changing fast to

meet the increased demands of user traffic, data load, and development

cycle time. New approaches, many influenced by functional and

reactive programming models, along with the languages and

frameworks that support them, are becoming mainstream. In this

exploratory book, you'll tour emerging frameworks and languages,

gaining ideas that will show up in next-generation programming.

The Transparent Web presents a survey of new tools and techniques

for web development focused on the themes of reactive programming,

unifying separate platforms (isomorphic apps & more), and functional

programming. It explores the benefits of modern type systems and

functional reactive programming. It also teaches how these new

approaches can make the reader a more productive developer by

shortening revision cycles and making it easier to share code, scale

applications, and add features.

KEY FEATURES

* Becoming more productive by shortening revision cycles

* Writing web applications all in the same codebase and language

* Techniques to save time debugging

* Get applications up and running faster with all-in-one frameworks

* Survey of practical tools and techniques

AUDIENCE

This book is for web developers who have some experience developing

web applications in a more traditional MVC style. Readers should also

be familiar with dynamic languages or statically-typed languages in the

style of Java or C#.

ABOUT THE TECHNOLOGY

Modern web applications are really several distinct web technologies flying

in close formation. However, new approaches, many influenced by

functional and reactive programming models, along with the languages and

frameworks that support them, are becoming mainstream. The Transparent Web tours emerging frameworks and languages, gaining ideas that will show up in next-generation programming.
