Building Desktop Apps with Ember and Node-Webkit

Two technologies I wish to investigate on.
If you are a .Net add 'edge.js' and you will be at home.

Getting Started with Edge.js

Quote from site :

Edge.js is a node.js module that let’s you run C# code from Javascript or vice-versa. It even works on
OSX and Linux through Mono. This essentially lets you write native addons in C# instead of C.

Running multiplie Python apps with uwsgi and nginx

Quote from site :

This is a recipe on how to easily run multiple Python web applications using uwsgi server (in emperor mode) and behind nginx. Most existing docs and blogs would show how to manually start uwsgi to run a single app. In this post, I'll show how to configure uwsgi as a system service (with upstart) capable of serving multiple python WSGI compliant web applications by simply placing them in a standard location and adding an standard xml file.

Visto JavaScript Framework (VistoJS)

Quote from site:
The Visto JavaScript Framework (VistoJS) integrates KnockoutJS, JQuery and RequireJS (and TypeScript) to provide the programming model known from .NET XAML and MVVM: It is possible to implement views with "code-behind" and bindings to view models, declaratively load subviews in HTML and navigate between pages - all in a single-page application.

The main advantages of this library is that it allows to develop component-based and implement reusable views which are composed of predefined programming blocks (view, view model and HTML). These views can be reused as sub views, in dialogs or as page instances. The programming API and paradigm is very similar to the one found in Windows Phone XAML or Windows 8 Store Apps programming (MVVM pattern, view "code-behind", paging/navigation).

Converts a Meteor app into a "standard" Node.js application

Quote from site:

Demeteorizer

CLI tool to convert a Meteor app into a "standard" Node.js application. The resulting app contains a package.json file with all required dependencies and can be easily ported to your own servers or Node.js PAAS providers.
Demeteorizer's output is similar to meteor bundle except that it generates a package.json containing all required dependencies. This allows you to easily run npm install on the destination server, which is especially important for compiled modules.

Async Javascript

Quote from site :

Async is a utility module which provides straight-forward, powerful functions for working with asynchronous JavaScript. Although originally designed for use with Node.js, it can also be used directly in the browser. Also supports component.
Async provides around 20 functions that include the usual 'functional' suspects (map, reduce, filter, each…) as well as some common patterns for asynchronous control flow (parallel, series, waterfall…). All these functions assume you follow the Node.js convention of providing a single callback as the last argument of your async function.

https://github.com/caolan/async

Quick Examples :

async.map(['file1','file2','file3'], fs.stat, function(err, results){
    // results is now an array of stats for each file
});

async.filter(['file1','file2','file3'], fs.exists, function(results){
    // results now equals an array of the existing files
});

async.parallel([
    function(){ ... },
    function(){ ... }
], callback);

async.series([
    function(){ ... },
    function(){ ... }
]);

Python WSGI with Node-Webkit

Quote from site :

Let us combine the greatness of HTML/CSS/Javascript for user interface with Python the best way to build backend to create a desktop app.
The basic idea is to use create a python webserver process, wait for it to start and display your app. After your app closes it will close the webserver process.

Single-File Stand-alone Python 2.7.5 for Windows

If you don't want to install Python on your client.
Here is a solution :

Quote from site :

I frequently write programs in python as it is a handy, powerful language. However, sometimes I don't want to install it. There are some other projects to give a portable python implementation. That still seems too heavy for some tasks.
Here is a Windows executable form of Python 2.7.5 that contains most of the standard libraries, plus pywin32. It has the following features:

• Single file with no dependencies besides Windows (XP or later)
• Can run python programs (e.g., py.exe sample_program.py)
• Can be used as an interactive shell (e.g., py.exe, then start typing)
• Can be used to execute string commands (e.g., py.exe -c "print 'hello world'")

I've included the very simple source code, which is nothing more than a setup.py script using py2exe. I compressed the executable using upx, which reduces its size by 12% or so and doesn't substantially slow down starting the program.

This library is one which influenced the most my way to write Javascript applications.

Une application desktop en Node.js avec node-webkit

Citation d'après le site:

By Sébastien | 29 octobre 2013

Le concept de base de Node.js est de pouvoir écrire des application en JavaScript indépendamment de tout navigateur web. Cela inclut notamment la création de serveur, mais le programme node-webkit donne une possibilité supplémentaire : la possibilité de créer des applications desktop multi-plateformes.

Build Desktop Apps with JavaScript and Node WebKit

Quote from site

What if we could approach the problem from a different angle? What if we took an existing, non-visual platform that already allows developers to do whatever they want and put a visual layer on top of it? That platform is Node.js and that visual layer is WebKit. Put them together, with Javascript as the underlying engine and WebKit as the visual layer, and you have Node-WebKit!

A Curious Course on Coroutines and Concurrency

Quote from site:

This tutorial is a practical exploration of using Python coroutines (extended generators) for solving problems in data processing, event handling, and concurrent programming. The material starts off with generators and builds to writing a complete multitasking environment that can run thousands of concurrent tasks without using threads or using code based on event-driven callbacks (i.e., the "reactor" model).
