BioJS is a community project aiming to create a collection of JavaScript components to present biological information following a common guideline. This workshop aims to introduce the BioJS project and provide enough skills to use BioJS components. For people interested in contributing to BioJS we will also provide a ‘Hello World’ tutorial to quickly have a taste of how to create a BioJS component.
This tutorial is for Bioinformaticians and developers interested on presenting biological information on the web. Basic programming knowledge is required to attend this tutorial. Though the workshop can be easily followed without no knowledge in JavaScript it would be desirable to have some scripting experience in JavaScript.
The proposed schedule is as follows:
• Introduction to BioJS project – 30 minutes
• How to use a BioJS component – 30 minutes
• How to integrate multiple BioJS components – 30 minutes
• A biological version of “Hello World” component – 30 minutes
• Delivering the registry to test your component – 10 minutes
• Wrap-up – 10 minutes
