JS ≠ evil & Angular 2
Microsoft Development Center Copenhagen hosted as we reconsidered dogmas surrounding JavaScript and looked at the recently released Angular 2 with Chris Heilmann and Tiberiu Covaci respectively.
Below you’ll find talks, code, tweets and pictures (video should be coming soon). Our next event will be about “bots & conversational interfaces” and will probably be announced in a week. Stay tuned.
Javascript isn’t evil… — Chris Heilmann
With Progressive Web Apps being the big thing and ServiceWorker allowing us to build applications resilient to unreliable networks we need to reconsider what we consider “best practices” for web development. Our world of Desktop machines with fat connections got replaced with a mobile one. Thus we need to reconsider some of the dogma we’ve built around the use of JavaScript. “JavaScript turned off” is not a thing — “JavaScript breaking without giving the user a way out” is something we need to find solutions for.
Angular 2, first look and field impressions — Tiberiu ‘Tibi’ Covaci
In 2014 the Angular team decided to start from scratch to implement a new framework for modern web development. This new framework would support only greenfield browser and native mobile applications. They decided to call it Angular 2. The only thing this new framework has in common with the first version of Angular is the core team that started the development of the framework.
