Running a Successful Open Source Project

On this episode of Eat Sleep Code, guest TJ VanToll talks about the inner-workings of NativeScript. NativeScript is an open source project that allows developers to write native iOS and Android applications using JavaScript, XML and CSS.

Ed Charbeneau: Hello, and welcome to Eat Sleep Code, the official Telerik podcast. I'm your host, Ed Charbeneau, and with me today is TJ Van Toll.

TJ Van Toll: Hey, Ed.

EC: And today, we'll be talking about NativeScript. What's inside the black box? TJ is a developer advocate on the DevRel team with Telerik. TJ, you work primarily with the NativeScript team and the engineers to discuss what's going on with NativeScript, and bring NativeScript to the masses.

TT: Yeah, that's more or less right. I've been with Telerik for a bit over two years. And I've been involved with a few different Telerik products. So Kendo UI, the Telerik Platform. And I've been working with the NativeScript team for basically the greater part of this year.

EC: And NativeScript is a way of developing native applications using JavaScript as the primary development language. Correct?

TT: Yeah. I'd like to think of it basically as a way that you can build iOS and Android apps, and Windows Phone, Windows Universal apps, probably some time later this year or early next year. And it's a way of doing it, as you said, with JavaScript, but also some other technologies that developers, and particularly web developers with some languages and technology skill sets that these people may already have. So JavaScript, CSS, optionally typed script. There is a lightweight XML language that's very XAML like for building your actual UIs, NPM for package management. And even when it comes over to the native site, you can use things like CocoaPods for existing iOS frameworks, existing iOS dot framework files, Android frameworks or things like jars. So we try to bring in the most amount of skills that people may already have. And allow people to leverage as many existing tools as you can, all while building iOS and Android apps that a lot of people are looking to do today.

02:22 EC: So what's nice about this is we're building actual native applications from this product. We're not putting this in a web view like, let's say, Apache Cordova or something like that.

02:33 TT: Yes. So that the real single biggest differentiator between NativeScript and something like Cordova and some of these other technologies out there is that you are building a truly native app. And that means that you have a truly native user interface, which means the UI controls are gonna be the same thing that you would have available in iOS app that you built in Xcode or an Android app that you built in Visual Studio. And as such, you're basically gonna have native-like performance because you're using those native controls. Your app is gonna not only look like a native app, but also really perform like a native app as well.

NativeScript Inside the Black

On this episode of Eat Sleep Code, guests Brad Green and Todd Motto talk about Angular 2. Brad Green, Engineering director on the Angular 2 project shares what's in the Angular 2 road map including the new Angular 2 CLI. Performance improvements, model change technologies and web workers are discussed. Cross platform development with Angular 2 including desktop and mobile using NativeScript are also included in the discussion.

Brad Green: Hey, good morning.

EC: And Todd Motto is also joining us. Hey, Todd.

Todd Motto: Hey, good evening.

EC: I've brought these folks on the show today to talk about Angular 2. Brad Green is here from Google. Brad, why don't you go ahead and let folks know what you do at Google and what you work on with Angular 2?

BG: Yeah. So I am an Engineering Director here at Google, and I've been working the Angular project for the past, almost six years now, and was one of the project originators along with Misko Hevery and some other folks. And we're excited to roll out Angular 2. We're in beta now and we're getting towards final not too long.

EC: And we also have Todd with us. Todd, give us a quick intro. We just had you on the show last week, but folks tuning in for the first time might not know who you are.

TM: So I am a recent addition to the Telerik team. I'm a developer advocate near London, in England, hence the accent. So I cover the European side of things.

EC: And today, we're gonna discuss Angular 2 in detail. And we're gonna kick things off with some of the tools that you use to build Angular 2. Because things are changing in that regard, especially with the introduction of TypeScript and some of the CLI and whatnot. Brad, you wanna give us some info on what the new tooling is like?

00:01 Ed Charbeneau: This podcast is part of the Telerik Developer Network. Telerik, by Progress.

00:18 EC: Hello and welcome to Eat Sleep Code, the official Telerik podcast. I’m your host, Ed Charbeneau, and today my co-host for the Telerik Developer Digest episode will be Sam Basu. Hey, Sam.

00:32 Sam Basu: Hey, Ed. How you’re doing?

00:35 EC: Good. We have a busy week with the Telerik Developer relations. Brian is out, so thanks for filling in for him.

00:43 SB: No problem.

00:46 EC: So, I’m gonna kick things off a little differently this time. We have a really cool program going, called All Your Snacks Are Belong to Us. This is a NativeScript DevRel initiative. So, the NativeScriptSnacks website is this really cool place where you can go get these five minute or less videos on how to do something really awesome in NativeScript. So there’s a campaign going to get people out there and submit some videos of your own, and we have some cool sunglasses and stuff that we’re giving away. So I asked Jen Looper, who is in charge of this really cool contest, or whatever you wanna call it, to just kinda give us a little info on what the contest is all about and how to get involved. So I’m gonna hand it over to Jen, and then we’ll get back to the show in a moment.

01:53 Jen Looper: Hi, everyone. This is Jen from Developer Relations and I’m happy to announce a fun summer program that we’ve launched on the NativeScript community Slack channel. First of all, if you aren’t on that channel, you can join by visiting NativeScript.org, clicking Community, and then Slack Channel and requesting an invitation. And we have a lot of fun times on that channel, I’ll tell you. Second, we’ve launched a bounty program from within that Slack channel which involves submitting any short video tutorials or code snippets for NativeScript apps. So this summer, if you submit a snack, what I call a snack, to NativeScriptSnacks.com, I will personally ship you a pair of NativeScript sunglasses. And these are really nice, comfortable, good-looking glasses. You’re gonna need them during the dog days of summer. So please, visit NativeScriptSnacks.com, submit a snack and tell us all about it on Slack. Thanks a lot.

02:43 EC: Okay, Sam, we’re back with the next topic at hand. We had an article by Peter Filipov this week, and the title of the article is “Every ASP.NET web developer can be a mobile developer”. So Peter’s discussing the similarities between ASP.NET web forms and NativeScript. So, Sam, what’s your take on this comparison? Is this something that’s really similar, or how were those similarities broke down, what do you think?

03:21 SB: Yes, I think so. But before we get into it, just maybe a quick introduction. Peter Filipov is actually our colleague on the Developer Relations team. He comes from a very technical background. He used to be one of the PMs in our ASP.NET developer tools division for Telerik, and he has come over from Sofia and now he is a PM and a DevRel for Sitefinity, so he really comes from a very diverse and technical background. And I think what he’s doing, and he’s got a couple of articles this week, he’s trying to draw some parallels between the world that he comes from of ASP.NET and Sitefinity, and bringing that experience over to NativeScript, which is our cross-platform way of making Native mobile apps. And I think he makes some very convincing points.
