Is the link to tutorial at line 16 (edu.biojs.net/series/101/22_headstart.html)? Somehow the present link is not valid.

Hi the link at http://edu.biojs.net/series/101/20_getting_started.html works for me.

I added you to the collaborators, so that you can directly write those typos :)

Thank you! :-)

As mentioned in main repo (https://github.com/biojs/biojs)

BioJS builds a infrastructure, guidelines and tools

Could this be called a framework if we want to use a single term which encompasses all the three ( infrastructure, guidelines and tools)?

Framework has some connotations BioJS could do without - it suggests it imposes a layout to your code, and makes a lot of decisions for you etc (e.g Ember, or Ruby on Rails).

BioJS is about visibility and ease of use.

a software framework is an abstraction in which software providing generic functionality can be selectively changed by additional user-written code, thus providing application-specific software. A software framework is a universal, reusable software environment that provides particular functionality as part of a larger software platform to facilitate development of software applications, products and solutions. Software frameworks may include support programs, compilers, code libraries, tool sets, and application programming interfaces (APIs) (from Wikipedia)

I agree with @timruffles ;-)

DevasenaInupakutika commented 9 years ago

Agreed. Thanks both! :+1: :-)
