Virtual Panel: State of Reactive in JavaScript and Elm
Reactive programming in JavaScript and the web has fairly mature libraries, yet there is much more work to do before it becomes ubiquitous. In this virtual panel, we speak with three experts that work with reactive technologies about where we're at and where we're headed.

Language-Level Reactivity with Elm
Reactive programming is becoming more prevalent in the JavaScript programming world. But, it's always added on as an afterthought or a library. But what if it could exist by default, inherent to the language? Richard Feldman shows how the Elm language is just that. Elm doesn't just try to make JavaScript better, it tries to rewrite the developer experience and make it inherently better.

The SAM Pattern: Lessons Learned Building Functional Reactive Front-End Architectures
Modern User Experience requires an architecture that is able to continuously “react” not just to user inputs, but also to its broader environment. In this article, Jean-Jacques Dubray and Gunar C. Gessner talk about the lessons learned implementing the SAM pattern with different frameworks and libraries.

Java 9, OSGi and the Future of Modularity (Part 2)
The flagship feature of Java 9 will be the new Java Platform Module System (JPMS). Given the maturity of OSGi there were technical, political and commercial reasons why another Java module system will soon exist. In this article we compare the two from a technical perspective and see how JPMS and OSGi can work together.

RXJava by Example
In the ongoing evolution of paradigms for simplifying concurrency under load, the most promising addition is reactive programming, a specification that provides tools for handling asynchronous streams of data and for managing flow-control, making it easier to reason about overall program design. In this article we overcome the learning curve with a gentle progression of examples.

Polymorphism of MVC-esque Web Architecture: Classification
The MVC architecture has a long and storied history, from its early days in the Smalltalk community to its modern implementation in JavaScript frameworks. In this article, Brent Chen explains the history of the MVC architecture and its different forms in modern applications, both on the client and on the server.

Using Templates to Transform Web Service Results into Markup
The HTTP-RPC open-source Java framework returns results in JSON by default, but can use the CTemplate system to respond with custom markup. In this article, Greg Brown shows how simple annotations can be used to automatically respond to a web service in any markup (HTML, XML, CSV, etc.).

Creating RESTful Services with T4 Based on Model and Interfaces
When generating RESTful services with WebAPI, a lot of boilerplate code has to be implemented. Amel Musić demonstrates how T4 and EnvDTE can be used to create a flexible code generator that dramatically reduces the amount of time and effort this takes.
