what are the predefined templates in polymer starter kit? - templates

In the IO presentation a speaker SUPER BRIEFLY talked about App Templates and how PSK1 has support for "navigation card layouts, navigation list details" and others. What're the details on these layouts? Where can I find more info on these?

This seems to be what you are looking for - https://github.com/PolymerElements/app-layout-templates

As of today, the Polymer Start Kit itself doesn't provide multiple templates. It creates the scaffolding for a simple demo application that uses a side bar menu, page routes, and two simple custom elements for demo purposes. It also creates a bower development environment that is configured and ready to use out-of-the-box. If you new to either Polymer or bower it is big help. If you are new to both it is a huge time saver.

Hosting a ember application under angular Progressive web apps

We need to create a PWA with angular which will wrap the ember application and communicate through some navigation and events.
PWa will be just as a container which hosts the ember so that the application can be used as native and as webapps through every devices.
We need some approaches to get some solution regarding the above requirement.
Will it be possible for everyone to give some light one that.
Planning to host the application using iframe under PWA and communicate.Not sure whether it will be helpful or not.
It's not the best idea to use Angular to create a PWA for an Ember app, you should be doing this in Ember.
One reason that it might not be the greatest idea is that if you're adding Angular to your setup you are adding a minimum of 130KB of compressed JS before taking into account any features that you might be using. Assuming a baseline Ember app size you're talking about adding a roughly 60% extra JS to achieve something that can also be achieved by Ember.
It sounds like you might be following a tutorial on how to turn an app into a PWA that is based on Angular. If you are you having specific issues that you don't know how to solve with Ember I would recommend joining the Ember Community Discord and asking for some help there and maybe someone will point you in the right direction.

Change Redmine Source code - Plugin or Migration

I would like to generate new pages in Redmine, with new Controllers, views and models. I would like to know if the only way to do this is by writing my own plugins?
There may be times where I will have to use a Jquery dialog. Does this also require to code a custom plugin.
Generally, you can change Redmine in one of two ways:
You can develop a plugin which can extend or overwrite functionality in Redmine core.
You can patch Redmine itself and add any changes directly to the Redmine codebase.
Generally, the first approach of developing a plugin should be preferred. This is because it allows you to update Redmine later with minimal issues. If you change the Redmine codebase itself, it becomes very hard to update it later while keeping your changes and ensuring they still work.
There is a huge amount of existing Redmine plugins (of varying quality). Generally, it is a good idea to search a bit for related plugins and read their source code to get a feeling how plugins work.

JIRA Plugin that Creates ServiceNow ticket

I was wondering if there was a plugin available that would listen to changes to a JIRA ticket such as Build Requests set to Staging and from there create a ticket within ServiceNow. If there is no plugin available for this, could someone point me in the right direction to get this project going?
there is no ready-to-use plugin available for that use case.
We created our own plugin for that but unfortunately this plugin is not available for the public.
On top of that it would be very complicated to create a plugin which could be used by everybody because you would need a huge amount of configuration options.
I think you will have to contact a consultant to create your own plugin for your desired use-cases.

Using IoC container in a multi-site environment

I am setting up a architecture for a new project. For this project we are using Sitecore 7 CMS. As you may know, Sitecore supports a multi-site environement. This means that 1 IIS instance can be used for multiple sites because Sitecore resolves them to use the right code and content.
For this project I will have the following hierarchy:
Core (generic, site unspecific logic)
Website A
Website B
We should be able to add as many sites as we want. Every site has a Data, Business and Presentation layer.
I also want to use a IoC container such as Castle Windsor, Ninject or Unity. I want a generic container/kernel for the core and then I would like to be able to register class for specific sites. So the classes I register for Website A should not be resolved for Website B
In Unity I guess you could child containers. I did not find a good way to force the application to use the child container when the Sitecore Context meets a certain requirement.
In Ninject I found stuff on contextual bindings, named scopes and modules which I liked very much. I thought I create a NinjectModule with Contextual Bindings and on resolving I would check the context. I did not find a nice and generic way of doing this.
However, after hours of googling I did not find a good example or tutorial on how this could be achieved and how this should be done in the best way.
For now I do not have a preference for which framework I want to use.
Hope some one would shed some light for my problem so that I can make some progress.
Thanks in advance
Look in to Windsor's Handler Selectors. They're a nice solution to multi-tenant applications. Also, Mike Hadlow has a couple of posts about using Handler Selectors in a multi-tenant environment.
I resolved it by using Multi-tenancy in Autofac: https://code.google.com/p/autofac/wiki/MultitenantIntegration

does Django have something similar to spring web flow?

The purpose is to create a stateful web applications with controlled navigation.
There is a clear start and an end point.
The user must go through a set of screens in a specific order.
Once complete it shouldn't be possible to repeat a transaction accidentally.
Check the workflow section on django awesome packages list
django-flows looks like most close substitution for spring web flow.
But build-in django wizard forms a fairly lightweight and suitable for many basic cases.
didn't test that particular lib but it seems well suited for what you need:
