Concepts and frameworks used

You should already know that the CTools work on the back end using Java, and make use of the Pentaho API, and on the client side, work on top of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

CDF and implicitly CDE are HTML pages that employ JavaScript to make dashboards more interactive and dynamic. These tools also make use of CSS to make the user interface the most astounding it can be.

To leverage the code and work on the CTools side, but also to make it possible to use the most recent and advanced technology, they include some frameworks/libraries that you can take a look at. The most used ones and the ones you should take a look at are as follows:

Utilities:

jQuery (https://jquery.com/)
jQueryUI (http://jqueryui.com/)
jQuery i18n (https://plugins.jquery.com/i18n/)
Mustache (https://github.com/janl/mustache.js)
Backbone (http://backbonejs.org/)
Underscore (http://underscorejs.org/)
Moment (http://momentjs.com/)
Require (http://requirejs.org/)

Layout-related:

Modernizr (http://modernizr.com/)
Bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com/)
Blueprint (http://www.blueprintcss.org/)
Font-awesome (http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/)

Components:

Raphael (http://raphaeljs.com/)
Protovis (http://mbostock.github.io/protovis/)
DataTables (https://www.datatables.net/)
Community Charts Components – CCC (www.webdetails.pt/ctools/ccc/)
Select2 (https://select2.github.io/)
Chosen (http://harvesthq.github.io/chosen/)
Sparkline (http://omnipotent.net/jquery.sparkline/#s-about)
Fancybox (http://fancybox.net/)

Some of these frameworks and libraries are covered in the book, at least a part of the libraries and frameworks. To make the most out of them, you should read their documentation. It's not the purpose of this book to teach you how to work with them.

Miguel Gaspar

Miguel Gaspar started working at Webdetails about 3 years ago, some time before the acquisition of Webdetails by Pentaho. He was a consultant in the Implementation team and his work involved developing dashboard solutions as part of services. He is now acting as the technical owner of some of the Implementations projects as part of the Webdetails team in Pentaho. He likes to be as professional as possible, but in an informal way. One of his favorite hobbies is learning and his particular areas of interest are: business analytics, predictive analysis and big data, augmented reality, and cloud computing. He likes to play and is a huge martial arts fan and also one of the worst soccer players ever. He is married and a parent of two young and lovely daughters, who would like to spend more time playing like crazies with him. He also likes to spend time with friends or just having a drink and a good talk with someone else, if possible with his family at his side. He really hates liars.

Ever wonder why speech recognition systems don't understand the Scottish accent, or what would happen if an astronaut only ate mac 'n' cheese, or other spurious reflections you'd have at a bar? We did, then collated those deliberations into absurd research articles with fake figures and methodologies inspired by even more fictionally absurd studies.
