Introduction to JavaScript Templating
By:
Paul Sheriff
Last updated: Monday, September 15, 2025
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2025 - Sep/Oct
Paul Sheriff highlights the benefits of utilizing templating engines to simplify client-side scripting and enhance code readability, maintainability, and debugging. He critiques traditional string concatenation for generating dynamic HTML, noting its challenges (unwieldy syntax and susceptibility to errors). Paul introduces modern alternatives, such as JavaScript template literals, the HTML `<template>` element, and templating engines like Mustache.js, demonstrating how these tools promote separation of concerns and streamline dynamic content generation. Sheriff argues that, even in the era of advanced JavaScript frameworks, templating engines remain relevant, particularly for Web API-focused applications and server-side rendering, offering developers a powerful approach to building dynamic, efficient web pages.

Asynchronous Composition with the Reactive Extensions
By:
Jim Wooley
Last updated: Monday, October 6, 2025
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2013 - September/October
Jim Wooley champions the Reactive Extensions (Rx) as a way to build highly responsive, asynchronous applications by declaratively composing operations over observable sequences. He contrasts IObservable with IEnumerable, showing how Rx turns collections and events (e.g., UI clicks, accelerometer readings) into push-based pipelines, enabling non-blocking, order-agnostic processing. Through a Windows Phone 7 dice game, Wooley demonstrates creating observables from lists, events, and web-service calls, merging sources, scheduling on dispatchers, and disposing subscriptions, while also covering throttling and error handling. The article advocates Rx as a powerful toolkit for composing complex asynchronous workflows across UI, sensors, and services.

Mobile Development with Single-Page Applications Using KendoUI
By:
Last updated: Wednesday, August 31, 2022
Published in: CODE Magazine: 2013 - July/August
When considering mobile development, you have a variety of techniques to choose from. In many cases, reactive rendering (using CSS media queries) provides a good solution. Additional mobile customization can be achieved by using ASP.NET MVC4 device detection/customization to provide adaptive rendering. Both of these techniques follow the traditional Web development pattern where each page is focused on a specific task. In an application managing a list, there is a page devoted to the list of items, a second page to view details, and perhaps a third to edit a specific item.

The Rise of JavaScript Frameworks - Part 1: Today
Last updated: Thursday, February 21, 2019
Published in: The Web View, Newsletters
When it comes to Web development, JavaScript frameworks have moved front and center in the mainstream in the last year and a half or so. When looking at building modern Web applications, the bar has been raised significantly by what is possible in large part due to the more accessible mainstream frameworks that are available today to build rich client and mobile Web applications. Although full featured end to end front end JavaScript frameworks have been around for quite a bit longer than just the last couple of years, it seems in the last year and half they really established themselves in the Web developer mainstream with extremely wide ranging uptake that happened very quickly. Clearly these JavaScript frameworks have a hit a nerve with the developer mainstream, scratching an itch that developers have wanted to scratch for some time, but didn't quite have the tools to do so easily. Frameworks have filled that niche and caused a lot of developers that previously avoided complex JavaScript development to jump in head first.
