I want start using the framework foundation for sites but after reading the DOCS (http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/docs/installation.html) I got confused:
Why I should use a package manager to download a bunch of html, css and javascript file?
Or is there something else in the pile?
I'm working on windows and I know what are more or less html, css and javascript, but I'm new to frontend framework.
Thanks for your attention.
Download foundation first here complete-f6.zip. Then use foundation.min.css and foundation.min.js (of course include jquery.js) on your page and you're free to use whatever is in the foundation docs.
Since you're new, I would recommend using Yeti Launch. Yeti Launch allows you to create a Foundation 6 project with a Basic or Advanced template. The templates use a package manager with everything wired up for you.
With Yeti Launch you get the benefits of a build system (browser reloading, page templates, minification/concatenation, include only the components you use, autoprefixes, etc.) and you don't have to use the command line if you're not comfortable with it.

My requirement is run an embedded HTML\JS Web applications on a Win CE-ARM device.
We also have a Linux-ARM device for which we used Node js to run any Javascript app that also uses node modules like require,express and such.
Basically, we would like start a node server inside the device that serves HTML/JS pages as in when requested.
Since Win CE -ARM doesn't support node js and porting of node js to Win CE is an humongous task, we are looking for alternatives to node js in Win CE.
I looked up online and found very little on this front.
Basically we want to have a server running inside the device that serves html/js pages as in when requested( Imitate the node behaviour).
Is there any framework available for Win CE?
Any kind of comments or help is appreciated.
Thanks
I am not aware of any frameworks that implement server-side Javascript on Windows CE (you can always serve html/js pages though, if that's what you're after).
Unless you do manage to find a third-party alternative, your options are limited to:
ISAPI extensions
ASP (note: not ASP.NET)
ISAPI extensions are written in C/C++, and are a comparatively primitive environment. This does not necessarily mean a bad environment - whether that's the case really depends on your requirements. We've used ISAPI extensions successfully in a number of products.
The ASP implementation in Windows CE is only a subset of what desktop IIS supports; the linked MSDN pages have all the details about this.
If you don't want to use HTTPD WinCe webserver and to study how primitive and user unfriendly C++ ISAPI environment works, you could implement an extensible web-server in C# for example with RESTFUL webservices.
Refer to this.
You can than use JQuery instead of ASP to create dynamic pages.
If you need also the browser on the device you can use the IESample bundled with WinCE.
I have used several solutions like Berkelium project, CEfSharp, awesomium.net, The Web application i built constitutes of Javascipts, xml, CSS. When I used these solutions for files published on server they properly work out but when i give path like (file:///path) it stops responding.
Depending on your needs as alternatives to file:// maybe look at either:
Implementing a SchemeHandler as showcased by both the CefSharp.WinForms.Example and WPF ditto.
Maybe even an OWIN married with CEF implementation, like Harley
or see this other answer: Ajax not working in CefSharp based WebView with local files
I want to provide an ability to create simple java and javafx applications to the users on my website. I've found excellent code editor (Ace) but I don't know how to provide FXML design tool to the Web users.
Is there any options?

How to host SceneBuilder in a web page (requires Java 8):
Build SceneBuilder from it's source.
Package it as a Browser Embedded Application.
Host your packaged application on the Internet and direct web users to its URL.
Other than using a fork of SceneBuilder for your project, I don't know of any other feasible way to provide visual FXML editing capabilities. I would certainly not recommend trying to create from scratch your own FXML visual editor written in either Java or JavaScript.
I have a small 2D game engine written in C#, using DirectX. Is it possible to somehow run it in a browser as a plugin? Like for example Flash and others, where you go to a site with a game and it will ask you to install a certain plugin and then you can play the game in the browser, with mouse and keyboard input.
I have searched around for hours and I still don't know what I'm looking for. I have so far primarily focused on Internet Explorer, but there are plugins, addons, extensions, etc I don't know what I need really.
Yes I think it is possible.
For example, I have an HTML page which includes an element like this:
<object id="simpleControl1"
classid="http:RenderTextProject5.dll#RenderTextProject.ScrollableControl"
height="300"
width="300">
</object>
The 'classid' attribute value has the following meaning/syntax:
RenderTextProject5.dll is the filename of a compiled .NET assembly
RenderTextProject.ScrollableControl is the qualified name (namespace plus classname) of a class which subclasses System.Windows.Forms.Control
I can then see the control being rendered in the browser.
I'm using IE (IE8, but it used to work with IE6 too), and I have the .NET framework installed on my machine (but I think I needn't have the RenderTextProject5 assembly installed on the client machine).
There may be some other caveats too (e.g. I needed to run in the Intranet security zone).
See Return of the Rich Client: Code Access Security and Distribution Features in .NET Enhance Client-Side Apps.
Look for Silverlight.. It is maybe not exactly what you need but it is a browser plugin capable of running C# code ;)
There is a relatively new plugin called Unity. It is a bit more complex, as it is a dev/3D authoring environment on its own, but uses C# as its language as far as I know. However I don't know if pure 2D programming is possible (well, may be worked around using ortho 3d?).
The basic version is free to download recently, maybe worth a check.
It is possible to run C# applications in a web browser without using plugins. For example, C# applications can be compiled into JavaScript applications using JSIL.
We have a medium sized .js file that we include in our web framework that I am porting over to SharePoint. However, I'm not sure how to go about this or what the best practice is. This is for a framework solution that will be used by other client projects, so it's best for it to be self contained and deploy-able, rather than requiring manually deploying files to the webserver.
My current thinking to put the JavaScript into an embedded resource and then use the script manager to write out the file. Does this seem reasonable? Or does anyone have any other recommendations?
Embeded resource is the best way and you don't need to use the ScriptManager to render it out (as AJAX is not configured OoB on SharePoint), you can just render it as any other client script resource (through the ClientScriptManager).
Best idea is the have an if ContainsScriptManager else UsClientScriptManager style.
That way you get the best of both worlds
You could just toss it into a doc library.
If you are packaging your web part into a sharepoint solution, you could include it as a Module (VSEWSS item). Your manifest file would get something like:
<TemplateFiles>
<TemplateFile Location="LAYOUTS\somescript.js" />
</TemplateFiles>
Theres lots of info on how to do this on the web. I've liked the doc library option for images, css, and javascript because I don't have to rebuild and wait for for SP to JIT compile for 30 seconds each time I do a minor tweak to some style or script. I just edit these things in SPDesigner right out of the doc library.
Create resource mapped folder in your project and put the js file there and give the referene of the js file as _layout/jsfilename.js and this js file will be deployed with your project where ever you will deploy it.
