Insert Library Drag library into target folder.
GRUNT & GULP Build Script Automation
Gulp / Grunt • Gulp and Grunt are both task runners (think Ant) • Grunt uses a configuration based approach • Gulp uses streams from Node • Common tasks: • Compile SASS/Less to CSS • Run JSLint • Minify JavaScript/CSS files
Gulp: Hello World
Gulp: Hello World
Gulp: Configuring IDE Actions
Grunt: Example Install via npm
Grunt: Install Dependencies
RequireJS Maps module names to local paths for testing.
NODE.JS Serverside JavaScript
What is Node.js? Node.js is a platform built onChrome’s JavaScript runtime for easily building fast and scalable network applications. Node.js uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O model that makes it lightweight and efficient, perfect for data-intensive real-time applications that run across distributed devices.
Node.js Runtime • V8 JavaScript Engine is an open source JavaScript engine developed by Google for the Chrome web browser. • V8 compiles JavaScript to native machine code (IA-32, x86-64, ARM, etc.) before executing it.
Node.js + Express.js Template Engines • JADE <- supported natively by NetBeans • EJS • Handlebars • Hogan.js Node.js Express.js Template Engine
NetBeans & Node.js • Fully integrated support for Node.js • Project wizard for creating new projects • Express generator is integrated • Project specific Node.js settings

UNIT TESTING
Unit Testing Supported Unit Testing frameworks: • Karma • JS Test Driver • Mocha Demo • Jasmine – JavaScript unit testing framework • Tests written in JavaScript • Test synchronous and asychronous JavaScript code • Karma – JavaScript test runner • Based on NodeJS • Launches and executes tests in web browser (Chrome/FireFox/etc.)
Karma Configuration & Setup Installing Karma for a project (from within project directory): • npm install karma --save-dev • npm install karma-jasmine karma-chrome-launcher -- save-dev

CORDOVA
Introducing Cordova • Originally named PhoneGap. • Mobile development framework • Development started in 2009. • Wraps HTML5 applications in a native wrapper. • Purchased by Adobe in 2011. • Code donated to Apache as Apache Cordova. • PhoneGap built on Cordova • Adobe provides cloud build system for PhoneGap.
Cordova Platform SDK • Certificates to test on devices ($$) Ant (ant.apache.org) NodeJS (nodejs.org) • Install Apache Cordova (cordova.apache.org) Chrome Java 8 (java.oracle.com) NetBeans 8.0.1 (netbeans.org) What might we want to install? Maven (maven.apache.org) Karma (karma-runner.github.io) Jasmine (jasmine.github.io) Grunt (gruntjs.com)
Cordova Platform Tools and SDKs iOS (xCode) Apple App Store – search for XCode Android (Android Studio) https://developer.android.com/tools/index.html Windows Phone http://dev.windows.com/en-us/develop/downloads Tizen https://developer.tizen.org/downloads/tizen-sdk BlackBerry http://developer.blackberry.com
