Hello web devs! CanJS 3.0 is out. It has a new developer-centric website and new features like:

One of the most impressive parts of a DoneJS application is Server Side Rendering (SSR). You can write your code once and it will render both on an SSR-enabled web server and in the browser. You’ve probably noticed, while building your DoneJS app, that it’s a generally seamless experience. However, you’ll eventually run into a situation where the code on the server doesn't execute the way you would expect. Let’s take a look at why that’s the case, then I’ll show you a neat little DoneJS utility that makes it easy to debug these situations when they appear.

In today's modern browsers, there is support for not only writing and loading modules, but performing various low-level tasks around loading and executing the module. This article will explain the current standard for module loaders - their lifecycle and their hooks. A future article will show a detailed example for how to use these hooks.

Pop quiz! If you have modules written in CoffeeScript and CommonJS, is it possible to use them both within an ES6 application?

Today, we're re-releasing our old jQuery fixture library - jQuery.fixture.js - as the new and improved can-fixture. In this article, we'll cover:
