TWIL - Week #34

This Week I Learned:

JavaScript

• TogetherJS is a free, open source JavaScript library by Mozilla that adds collaboration features and tools to your website. On the JSFiddle site, press Control + K on your keyboard to activate TogetherJS.
• jscop is a javascript static code analysis tool  written in node js. 
• "This encroachment of the front-end into what was traditionally the back-end is scary for back-end engineers, many of whom might still harbor resentment against JavaScript as a “toy” language. In my experience, it is exactly this that causes the organizational disagreement related to the adoption (or not) of Node.js."
• TodoMVC can help you select an MV* framework. It is a project which offers the same Todo application implemented using MV* concepts in most of the popular JavaScript MV* frameworks of today. 
• A slightly-biased comparison of Angular, Backbone, CanJS and Ember
• Ember 101 has screencasts by Ryan Florence 
• A multi-part series covering common mistakes C# developers tend to make when they first start writing JavaScript

Web:

• Learnings from a study by Web Performance Today:
• The average web page has grown 151% in just three years 
• The average top 1,000 web page is 1575 KB.
• More than half of this size is due to images.
• Flash is on the decrease. Custom fonts are on the increase.
• Performance must engage with design and UX

Everything else:

• Enabling Wireless LAN Service on Windows Server 2008 - If you're trying to setup a wireless connection on Windows Server 2008 but it fails as wlanapi.dll is missing, you'll need to turn on Wireless LAN Service Feature through Server Manager. Wireless LAN Service is disabled by default possibly because you wouldn't need it on a Server OS
• Amazon has fulfillment centers in 14 U.S. states and in 36 cities around the world 
• The U.S. average credit score is 680. In general, a good credit score is anything above 700.
• If you like the answers from a Stack Overflow user, you cannot follow the user as on Twitter or Facebook. This is an oft requested feature request on the developer Q & A site, Stack Overflow, that has been denied. However, you can subscribe to a SO user's activity via a RSS feed.
• Honey isn't better than sugar for diabetics, as it still raises blood sugar
