I'm currently a PHP Developer, and I absolutely love Laravel. However, even though Laravel is an excellent and powerful framework I feel as though I need to stay up to date on technologies and languages to deliver the absolute best. Which brings me to my main question, what would be the best way to transition(I Don't wish to just drop PHP, but shift my main focus) to JavaScript. Specifically, Node.JS, Angular, Meteor, etc...
The syntax of JavaScript is what really throws me off, does anyone know of a very well laid out tutorial series(Paid or Free) that I could learn from. I'm sure once I get past the learning curve I'll find it much easier. However getting past the curve is where I'm currently at, and struggling.
Thanks,
Bran
For Angularjs and the MEAN Stack
There is a great set of tutorials for Angularjs on code school here.
I used them to learn the basics but in reality the best way to learn is to build a project you're passionate about.
For myself I learned how to use Ionic for mobile development, here is my open source code for that (Ionic is built on Angularjs).
Another great way to learn is to follow the Microsoft MEAN Stack video that they made about 6 months ago here it is. They do a full MEAN Stack project thats really easy to follow along with.
Conclution
To learn any new tech build build build, its the only way to discover more. Good luck

Currently i am learning about node js and angular js, also about socket.io and express.js. I am trying to create a poker multiplayer game like texas hold em. but after browsed the internet for quite amount of time, i cant figure out how to create animation for my project, such as flipping the card, distributing the card. Is there any tool that I can use to create the animation?? I am new to this environment, and keep learning day by day.
But First, i am so sorry if this is out of topic or whatsoever. Because I am totally have no idea how to proceed to the next step in my project.
Any help given is much appreciated.
Perhaps you are new to client side development. I can advice you to learn some books about JavaScript and then use some canvas based libraries which will help you to build your card game.
There are many canvas libraries for you:
http://phaser.io/
http://createjs.com/
https://playcanvas.com/
https://github.com/pixijs/pixi.js
and others
If you are new to JavaScript I can recommend you: Object-Oriented JavaScript - Second Edition book. This book is for anyone who is starting to learn JavaScript or who knows JavaScript but isn't very good at the object-oriented part of it.

I've found myself from the monstrous JavaScript-project. I haven't seen any references to known design patterns and code files consists of 5000+ rows of messy code. Usual length of the function is about 100 lines. Also namespaces are messy. Any ideas how to get any sense for this project?
I've been trying to read the source code, but there are no comments whatsoever. Also there are no tests, so making changes is a matter of luck.
Abandoning the project is not a choice.
Are there any nice tools for helping? At the moment I'm using sublime & Chrome.
If you have the specs you could write tests then refactor safely. Your tests will tell you if you break anything.
On the other hand if you don't have specs, you can write your tests by generating a bunch of random values and record the associated results. With your current code, you know (by definition) that they are correct.
I have seen the latter approach at a conference about refactoring ugly, legacy code. The speaker generated lots of random value/result pairs, turned them into unit tests, and started refactoring ultra-quickly. The results were quite amazing and you knew for sure that nothing had broken in the process.
Of course, if your application is more complex than the "give me an input, i'll tell you the output" style, this is trickier. But maybe it will get you started !

I am a bit new to client-side coding, and am looking for a good plugin/tutorial/demo/example to build UIs with ExtJS-MVC.
Please don't start a debate on other frameworks(jQuery/ext etc.).
Thanks.
Sencha is used by over two million developers and its great if you use extjs for building RIAs. Please have a look on resources i provided:
1.Extjs examples has plenty amount of example components which some of them are written in MVC and you may follow their examples.
2.Follow sencha blog and follow their posts regarding extjs.
3.Read Api documentation and follow some of MVC tutorials available.
4.Check sencha learning center's articles and screencasts
5.Subscribe to devzone articles rss feed regarding extjs.
6.Extjs 4 in action will be out sooner or later and you could buy this book while there are plenty of books available for extjs 3.xx and most of content can be applied to extjs 4 with little modification.
7.Tomatocart, Tomatocms,qwikioffice and tine20 are built using extjs 3.xx and you may check their demo section and download their full package and start learning from them.
There are plenty powerful extjs coders here in stackoverflow and you may ask questions if they arent already answered.

I have been coding in c#, a bit java and some web-programming with HTML and css. Now I want to begin programming for iPhone.
I have been reading some about the techniques and now I can´t decide if I shall learn JavaScript and go for HTML/CSS/JavaScript or learn Objective-c. What do you think are the smoothest way to learn iPhone programming? Any tips?
I just need some push in the beginning then it´s just training, training and more training.
I appreciate your time and answers.
Stanford lectures are number one.
Here is the link.
You can make apps for iPhone and android in javascript using the AppMobi platform or int HTML/CSS with "Sencha Touch". If you want to go native, you'll have to start with learning objective-C. Once you're comfortable, the apple developer site is a good place. Or you can refer to Stanford's lectures
Firstly you should brush up with objective c concepts.
Once you have gone through it, you can start with apple's iphone library.
After have an idea about basics, you can then start with basic iphone tutorials. I must suggest you Ray Wenderlich awesome IPhone tutorials which I consider are the best.
Other than this, you can always Google around for other tutorials.
Hope this helps :)

I am developing a javascript application. Rite now i am using E text editor
http://www.e-texteditor.com
I have used UltraEdit also but i found E-text editor better.
I want to know if there is any other editor more powerful than E-text editor?
and what better facilities it has?
What editor should you use? Vim of course! I mean Emacs!
I mean, seriously. There is nothing more personal for a programmer than a choice of his editor. Not even the choice of his language is more personal so I doubt you'll get any meaningful answers other than "You should use my favorite editor! Because it's the best." "No, you should use mine! Because it's better."
Unless you just want to see a flame war then, well, have fun.
I don't think you'll really find an editor specifically geared towards js, I think you've found what I would choose if you are stuck on a windows platform ;)
I personally use TextMate which is what E-texteditor is modeled after, and if you can harness the specific bundles for any given language you can have some real productivity increases. You can find framework specific bundles also that include snippets, shortcuts, etc...
But the thing I like about editors like these, there isn't so much automation that you loose touch with the language. At its core it's still a text editor.
Well i also was looking for a better Javascript editor for some time. However I finally ended up with Aptana since i noticed that is pretty much supportive with Javascript developments.
Obviously it's not an editor but an IDE which is a derivative of eclipse. The thing is that there are lots of libraries and frameworks for Javascript so we can't expect that our editor or IDE is supported with all these.
