MANY PERSPECTIVES!!!

• functionality
  • what services does the web provide?
• impact
  • what is it doing to us?!
• infrastructure
  • LET'S START WITH WHAT IS IN FRONT OF US!!!!

The LOOKING GLASS!!!

• not "throwing any shade"...
• everything is evolving!
• different bells and whistles (extensions)
• "standards" don't always apply...
• our needs
  • understand what a browser does
  • a little about how it does it
  • be able to see what is going on under the hood 
    • developer tools!
      • used to "view source"
    • what are we looking at there?!

Design Pattern: Model, View, Controller

• Model
  • content
  • HTML5 (for now!  markdown?)
• View
  • style
  • CSS (for now!  WYSIWYG?)
• Controller
  • behaviour!!!
  • In the browser, JavaScript (for now!  coffeescript?)
    • can talk to functionality on servers too!!!

LET'S BREAK THINGS!

• Download the ".zip" of the course repository...
• open "charts_example" it in your favourite browser

 

NOW EDIT IT!

• colours?  counters?  amounts?
• what is the model? view? controller?
• can you add a new counter??
• can others see your changes?
  • why?  why not?
  • ho would you get that to happen? :)
