April 2017 Dev Diary

Hey everyone!

We've got a new dev diary up on the blog: http://incidentalcomplexity.com/2017/05/15/april/

Don't miss our announcement at the bottom -- we're hosting a meetup at the Eve office in San Francisco on May 31st at 7:00 PM. Here is the meetup website: https://www.meetup.com/witheve/events/240011536/

Let us know any feedback you have.

Thanks,

Corey

Thanks Corey.  The "without the boilerplate" is really starting to resonate.  I ran some tests today with the DSL, WinJs and some other frameworks.  And it's very obvious when you're working with Eve vs other libraries/languages.  That is, there's not much to "remember."  Add records, remove them, update them.  As much as I like C#, just wiring up your classes and properties to be observable was a pain, especially when using the MVVM pattern. With Eve, a simple bind statement and you're good to go.  Interested in seeing what the persistence & server/client logic entails and seeing if that adds any complexity.  I'm a self-declared non-programmer and I can say no boilerplate makes me happy.

Really great write up! I tried using Eve with Node a few weeks ago, but I got a bit stuck. Once the 0.3 is officially out I will try again. Thanks for the shoutout for the meetup, I set a date now, June 27, Copenhagen, Denmark:

Felix,

I think boilerplate is something "non-programmers" are acutely aware of. For programmers, we've gotten used to it to the point where we expect it as just part of programming.

Zubair,

Thanks for the update, I'll add it to the dev diary.
