Wakanda is the newest addition to the JavaScript world. It’s the first integrated solution to allow development on the client, the database, and the server — all in JavaScript! For those who are curious or interested in an end-to-end JavaScript solution, we’d like to familiarize you with this new open-source platform based entirely on JavaScript. To do so, we are proposing a number of workshops to cover some of the primary techniques to create business Web applications with Wakanda.
There is no additional cost for these workshops. Your Wakanday registration is good for all keynotes, sessions, and trainings on offer.
Wakanda Server Basics
by Dave Terry
In Dave’s session, you will discover the elegance and ease of developing Wakanda Server applications with a minimal amount of coding. He’ll teach you how to create the right model for your web application so you can get the most out of Wakanda’s powerful built-in features. Besides explaining the different types of attributes available to you, Dave will also give you some examples of inheritance: what it is and how you can use it. You’ll also discover how to define and execute methods on Wakanda Server.

Learn more about programming in Wakanda Server’s native language, JavaScript. Through numerous examples, Dave will show you how to reference datastore classes, create entities, assign values to attributes, set relation attributes, validate entities, and save entities on the server. You will explore the various scopes of server-side methods, how to perform queries on data classes and how to work with entity collections. Dave will also introduce the Wakanda Server debugger.

Wakanda Client Basics
by Dan Wasserman
In this session, Dan will introduce all the tools available in Wakanda Studio that allow you to build sophisticated client-side web applications. He will show you how to create a rich interface using Wakanda’s widgets and other built-in capabilities. You will learn about the Wakanda Application Framework (WAF) and how classes and methods are sent to the client from the server. Dan will also demonstrate how much of your solution can be built without writing any code at all.

Wakanda Client Coding
by Dan Wasserman
Dan will continue building the web application he started previously by enhancing the client-side experience with more robust interaction through coding. He’ll introduce specific code examples of implementing choice lists, validating data being entered, searching, and sorting as well as working with subsets of entities displayed in a grid.
