While building a multifaceted and interactive web application, architects and developers are usually met with the challenge of performance, maintainability and modularity and are in constant need of a set of frameworks that can act like a backbone to their project and help them knock-out all the glitches in the process. JavaScript, a programming language that was designed to give easy access to pre-built components that serve as building blocks for a webpage, thus entered the field. Gone are the days when web development was all about uploading static HTML, CSS and JavaScript files to an HTTP server. Modern web applications are much larger and more complex than earlier and require a framework of language that provides structure, quality and maintainability all at the same time. JavaScript frameworks were created to address the need of building a stable foundation for a web application. What are JavaScript Frameworks? JavaScript frameworks are libraries of pre-written JavaScript that allow easier development of JS-based applications by providing a layer of abstraction on top of the core language. These frameworks provide a multitude of functions and help make it easier and more achievable for developers to create responsive, fluid and maintainable interfaces for web apps. JavaScript frameworks are open-sourced, released under the permissive MIT license and aim to resolve the problem of single page web apps using an MVC or MV* design pattern. Top JavaScript Frameworks There has been a great surge in MV* frameworks over the past few years and the list of new and stable frameworks continues to grow each year. Developers usually find themselves lost in choice as to which framework...

Preparing for trade shows can be tiring, costly and time consuming. We did two events recently and many in the past. Designing your brochure, theme for the event, getting marketing collateral printed; it can be a daunting task. I thought of sharing some of our contacts. All our brochures, themes and designs were done in-house, so give us a shout if you need help 😉 The brochures were printed in India before we flew to London. Happy to share contacts if you are in India. We used Total Displays for our Exhibition stand material printing. These guys are great and helped with all our stand material. Great prices and very supportive. We were working with Christine. We thank her for all the support! We were changing our branding and business cards had to be reprinted.

They provided next day service and were reasonably priced. We loved our business cards. Simple and Nice! For the exhibition, we normally take up Shell Scheme Stands and we wanted re-usability in our display material. We went with Shell Clad systems as they can be reused in different exhibition if the size of the stand is similar. Total Displays did all the printing for us. Need more info? We will be happy to share a tip of...
