I'm quite new to EmberJS framework to build Web Applications. I'm currently struggling to understand the right way (using Models, Controllers, View and Routes) to build a full-fledged web application using a Java (Spring, Hibernate) based REST API.
My current task is to create a simple registration page using EmberJS and pass on the information to a back end server using the REST API.
Can anyone guide me on this from scratch or show me few links that would help me learn?
This video was helpful when I was learning how to build an ember app with a rails rest api. Yehuda is on the rails core team and one of the primary creators of ember.js so I think he's a pretty good source of information.

Hello I am tasked with translating a current Excel tool to a web application. I decided to use Python and Django. Lately I studied the Django REST framework. I have the following related questions.
Is it for such an application a good idea to first write a web REST API so that I
firstly only need to focus on the backbone of the web application. I.e. implement the PUT, POST, GET and DELETE methods and the Django models.
The second step would be to implement the user interface... But if this is a valid method how can I reuse the REST views??? I followed the REST tutorials, but they don't show how to build a nice slick user-interface on top of the REST API.
Since REST views inherit from Django, I think it's maybe not such a good idea to write a Django view which inherits from a REST Apiview? Or can I directly use an API endpoint in a template. If so where can I get some nice examples?
Writing the back-end separately using Django REST Framework is a great idea.
There is a strong architecture based on the idea of decoupling the back-end from the front-end. After you finish the project's backbone, as you are calling it, you can start creating you front-end but your don't have to use Django template rendering in that case.
You can take the pros of using REST APIs and you can use one of the good front-end frameworks or libraries as Angular and React.js.
Another advantage of this that the same API can work with mobile development and so on.
So you develop one back-end and multiple front-ends depends on your need.
Also you can read a discussion about your question on Quora: https://www.quora.com/Why-does-it-make-sense-to-separate-front-end-from-back-end
I have made a web-app using django framework and stored it on heroku.
How can i combine phonegap so that I will be able to create both iOS and Android application that will simply load my hosted website?
I'm having an hard time knowing how to combine both technologies (django and phonegap) together, because phonegap requires the "index.html" and i dont know how to make it navigate to my main page.
And i dont know what "Procfile" to use in order that the heroku server will know how to react both.
I have seen somthing involves rest API for django. I found it hard to understand why should i add it for my website...
A tutorial would also be great !!
Integrating phonegap and django is a pretty broad topic covered here and in this tutorial.
For setting up multiple stacks on the same heroku app, you will probably want to use buildpack-multi.
In Laravel 4 framework, how to create a SOAP based web service. I would like to build a SOA based web application in laravel. Please clarify with an example how to use web service with some step by step examples or links as i am completely new to laravel
Thanks in advance..
You can use "php-wsdl-creator" (also supports SOAP). They have a great tutorial and many demo php files to get you started. It can also easily be implemented in laravel or any other framework for that matter. :)
You can find more information on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/php-wsdl-creator/
Also note that SOAP requires an extension to be loaded in PHP.
For more recent needs, you should use a Project such as wsdl2phpgenerator or PackageGenerator from WsdlToPhp. This sort of projects, requirable with composer, use an OOP approach and allows to build a SOAP request easily with PHP objects then handle the response just as the request with PHP objects.
I'm planning on building a web application with an EmberJS front-end that talks to a Flask-based RESTful API. I was originally excited to get going with lineman to help tackle the front-end, but recently I've been introduced to ember-cli. Ember-cli seems to be much more tightly integrated with EmberJS, though it appears to be less fleshed out than lineman.
Does anyone have experience with both lineman and ember-cli? If so, do you see a benefit of using one over another?
I am still trying to totally understand BDD and I am facing some doubts.
From my little experience, I have been using it to automate user acceptance test and I would like to know if it's possible to use it to test a web API, without UI.
In the past I've used BDD using the given-when-then jargon and mapping the steps to UI interactions. I've done this with Specflow in ASP.NET or cucumber/capybara in ruby on rails.
So for example we could have scenarios like this:
Given I am in the home page
When I click login button
Then I should see the login page
The current project I am working at is different. We are implementing an API based in web service which would be consumed by different type of clients. Like an iphone app, android app and an asp based web client. So our main focus is based in the back-end and just that.
In this case, the tests can't be faced from the UI point of view. So our end-to-end tests are based in our service endpoints. We pass some input arguments to a service calls and check the outputs.
Can we do this using BDD? Is this right?
or maybe it would be better to use a different thing like FitNesse?
Hmm.. is using FitNesse doing BDD?
I think you can do what your writing about in BDD. I'm not sure if those 2 links about testing of webservices with SpecFlow will help you but take a look on them if you haven't seen it yet.

Have a look at Karate, web service testing framework by Intuit. It's recently being open sourced. It has the capability of handling API dealing with HTML, JSON, XML, GraphQL queries and is built on top on cucumber.
