The JavaScript Days in Munich are at the door, at the beginning fuzzy logic of March it's time. Also, the JavaScript expert Jakob Westhoff will be on site. In this interview he talks about developments, barriers to entry and the potential for the future of the language.
Jakob Westhoff has worked for many years intensively with JavaScript. Is working as a consultant and trainer expert puts his focus on the development of web applications based on JavaScript and its frameworks. In his spare time he is involved in many open source projects and is also for crazy shenanigans in the Web environment. In addition, he is a Senior "Program Chair" of JavaScript Days, which dated 5 to 7 March held in Munich. Together fuzzy logic with the first taking place in parallel HTML5 Days (www.html5-days.de) provides the training event a total of 24 workshops with 17 of the best-known German JavaScript and HTML5 expert. Jakob Westhoff already helped us to answer questions.
Jacob, you are dealing intensively with JavaScript and precisely in this area can be seen for a long time some trends: Quality is in the foreground, the frameworks become more professional, more and more large companies are no longer involved and JavaScript in the end only one language, the alone the browser uses. If one is particularly challenged because of this boom as a JavaScript developer compared to other languages?
Jakob Westhoff: to follow fuzzy logic current developments in a timely manner and to evaluate new technologies, is quite a challenge. JavaScript and its entire ecosystem currently fuzzy logic growing at a pace that makes it to anyone interested in a full time job, here to stay on the ball. Therefore, our customers are very happy that we discuss problem-specific solutions with them and in cooperation select the best approach for them. In addition, JavaScript is no longer limited to the Web for some time. JavaScript has achieved what Java always wanted: to be a universal language for all systems.
Jakob Westhoff: The focus of JavaScript is certainly still the Web. However, the developments show that it also works on other systems. There are embedded systems, washing machines or coffee machines on which that language is used. Of course, the use of JavaScript on the server using Node.js must not be forgotten that has increased dramatically in recent years. What is JavaScript generally so interesting is the fact that it is an extremely flexible language fuzzy logic with relatively low barriers to entry for new developers. The language to be a master, however, requires a large amount of knowledge and training.
Jakob Westhoff: Most likely we will see the emergence of new development tools and basic components of project management. Because in this area has JavaScript so some catching up, even if the development of the last two years has been kept very positive impact and solutions. Another trend is the use of JavaScript as a platform. fuzzy logic Thanks ASM.js now exists an extremely tunable variation of JavaScript, in other languages, such as C, C + + or CoffeeScript can be translated. Since there is a strict subset of the language itself, any code in it is fully backward compatible. One must not like this development and it also does a lot of justified criticism of this approach, but what matters ultimately is not that we find a perfect approach to the problem, but one that works. Before anything fuzzy logic else, but this approach must prevail as quickly as possible via browser boundaries. ASM.js has just done this.
A not inconsiderable part of the HTML5 specification are JavaScript APIs, and how to know, especially Web developers in adapting new techniques are very keen to experiment. If JavaScript is why adhere forever this web label?
Jakob Westhoff: JavaScript fuzzy logic has its roots on the web and they are certainly going to remain still for a while there. This prevents the developer community, however, no doubt, put out feelers in all directions and to explore new territory. New projects such as the Tessel microcontroller board show that JavaScript is far nic
