AngularJS 101 On Google Developer Live Israel

Today we had the pleasure to host Shai Reznik and talk with him on his true passion – AngularJS. Few of the hot topic we covered in this episode where:

• Data binding is an automatic way of updating the view whenever the model changes, as well as updating the model whenever the view changes. This is awesome because it eliminates DOM manipulation from your todo list and it’s making sure to work efficiently with zero effort on your part.
• Directives – How you can use today ‘Web components’ and see how it will be (fun and productive) to develop in the web platform in the near future.
• Dependency Injection – Why it’s a powerful concept and how it can help you with managing large scale web apps and your testing.
• Module – We spoke about the community around this framework and one of the by products is the modules that extend the options of which APIs and web services you can use directly from Angular.

GDL Israel On Yeoman.io, AngularJS And Github Pages

In this week episode of GDL-IL we talked with Ran Tavory on his new conference and how he built its website. Here are the main topics we covered:

• Yeoman as the main built tool. We found out that is easy to start working with it. This powerful tool gives you a set of tools that any modern web developer should use. Yeoman is a robust and opinionated set of tools, libraries, and a workflow that can help you be more productive and use the best practices in modern web development. Give it a ride…
• AngularJS – To add the dynamic part for our site. It’s very interesting to see how Ran used google spreadsheets as his database in the cloud and with the add angular he fetch the data and update the content automatically.
• Github pages – As a free (and scalable) hosting service.
• Twitter Bootstrap – Because it is saving you a lot of ‘leg work’ by using this powerful css framework. Ran didn’t start with it… but once he saw that the site doesn’t look good on mobile, he jump on this wagon and luckily for him it worked.
• Google spreadsheet as a database and a simple database for our CMS in the cloud.
