Lectures 14 & 15

In this lecture, we developed a message-posting app using ractive.js. I very much recommend that you look at the ractive.js page and that you follow the tutorial on that site. This is absolutely fundamental material for the class; it's the last "big chunk" of things you need to understand.

Please note that in order to use ractive.js, you need to install it and include the link into the javascript to be loaded.

I have made various videos of a detailed example, consisting in the development of a message posting app.

Code

All the code can be found in the Lecture 15 branch of the repository.

Summary Lecture

In the video below, I demonstrate how to build a message posting app using ractive.js.

Please watch this video: this is very important material.

Detailed steps

I prepared the video above after having developed the app; the video above is therefore a kind of "accelerated visit" or summary of how to build the app. If you are interested in how I actually wrote the code in the first place, you might find the following videos helpful.
