Angular is the new black.
We have adopted it as our new JS framework. It is really very good and is building a fantastic base on which to move JS forward in big ways (and client side web dev in general). Rob Eisenburg is quite experienced when it comes to SPA’s (Single page apps) and client side libraries and for him to believe in Angular says quite a lot. We use it in conjunction with jQuery and it works very well, in addition to solving some really hard problems and also moving towards the future with potential support for Web Components coming (https://www.infinum.co/the-capsized-eight/articles/web-components-building-blocks-of-the-future-web and http://www.w3.org/TR/components-intro/ ) through its current directive implementation (with which you can do a web component style design as it stands). Very powerful stuff and moving ahead at great pace. I did a preso at teched last year on it here: http://channel9.msdn.com/Events/TechEd/Australia/2013/DEV331 Which gives you a decent “world view” of what it can do. - Glav From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Stephen Price Sent: Friday, 19 September 2014 11:13 AM To: ozDotNet Subject: Re: [OT] Angular and Durandal Converge It's Friday guys. I'm going to go out on a limb here and propose a change to the [OT] “rules” of our OzDotNet Elist. We have a couple of hundred people still here, but the traffic is low. Possibly due to outsourcing to StackOverflow? Anyway, my proposal is we all relax the [OT] rules. If its a post on anything that you think might interest everyone/anyone on the list, lets not put [OT]. One could even argue that .Net posts should have the [OT] flag on them? Hehehe Things like religion, politics, and Greg’s experience of “Did you just feel that earthquake” should probably keep the [OT] flag, but it its anything to do with Tech or Dev, then it's on topic. Otherwise we risk dwindling into extinction. Myself this week I’ve gotten two epic tips on my Surface from a casual [OT] thread I would have otherwise missed out on. I'm staying and think you guys are awesome. Long live OzDotNet. Regarding Angular, I've heard about it, seen it at a few talks, but so far not used it. Have been using Kendo UI and JQuery in my MVC apps. I sometimes feel there are so many tools and libraries its hard to keep up on them all. Gotta pick a couple and use them. It's usually the ones that Microsoft put in Project templates that I run with. How do everyone else choose?
