Scopes

and stuff

No Cross-Scope communication
No conflicts with dependency management
One scope to rule them all.
Divide and Conquer

Node-webkit

https://github.com/rogerwang/node-webkit
index.html 
<html>
    <head>
        <title>Hello World!</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    <h1>Hello World!</h1>
    We are using node.js
    <script>
        document.write(process.version)
    </script>
  </body>
</html>
package.json 
       
{
    "name": "nw-demo",
    "main": "index.html"
}

Build it

zip app.nw index.html package.json
./nw app.nw

Or use GRUNT

4 Errors i made you may can lean  from

living in a box

keep your data directories away from the code
// hack user config file into home dir
process.env['USER_CONF'] = 
(process.env.HOME || 
 process.env.HOMEPATH ||
 process.env.USERPROFILE
) + "/.app.json";

protool pain

file:///

Haste makes waste 

Building time can easily be greater then 40 seconds.
except you´re "smart" 
// in /Users/moritzspindelhirn/my-app/launcher/main.js
process.chdir('/Users/moritzspindelhirn/my-app/app');
var starter = path.join(process.cwd(), 'app.js');

Overengineering

Loading css and images from disk is pretty fast you know.
Why uglify and minify ?
You may don´t need to combine you stuff (?)

Thanks
