Great!

Please try as much as possible to make it as interactive as possible (Answer my stupid questions, give exercises, help us work on little projects that will improve our knowledge etc...)

Signing up for the class.

Today is 22nd by the way so you are one day behind schedule.

**cleans seat,sits n starts pinging,waitin 4 lecturer 2 come**

When is this class gonna start

The o.p has definitely forgotten about this thread. Uncool

Hey Guys, sorry I am 2 days late behind the schedule. I hope I am pardoned.

Straight to AngularJS - I will make this class so simple and straightforward . I will also share my personal experience in the use of this framework when necessary. We are all students, myself inclusive, so I expect to learn from you guys as well.
If I am not learning anything from you guys I would have to stop the class [smiles].

My background with the framework was when I worked on a mobile application, the agency needed a questionnaire on mobile device with lots of skip patterns. I thought the best way to handle this is to use front end scripts- Javascript came to mind. I thought this would require lots of codes.

I did not want to go through JS route. I researched a bit further and I came across AngularJS. I buried myself in it and I was able to deliver on the project. The way AngularJS simplifies what would have been serious task with JS is so amazing.

In this class, you are expected to have working knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript.

I will not entertain questions bordering on any of those. My focus is on AngularJS Framework. So I will like to know our expectations and also have suggestions from my learned friends on this forum.

Olatunde.

Yipee!! Thou art remembered us. Great.

Two questions:
* with the sweeping changes coming to angularjs in version 2.0, is it advisable to invest time in learning the framework?

* Which other JavaScript framework out there would you say is a viable alternative to angularjs?

BackBoneJS - also based-off the MVC architecture

or ReactJS -- which is just the V(View) in MVC

Cool, lemme check them out. Which do you use?

ReactJS

Cool, how does it compare with Angularjs since you have said it is used as just the 'V' in the MVC architecture. Isn't angularjs a full mvc-ish framework?

where is this lectures taking place ..is it here on nairaland?

Basically, React makes use of a Virtual DOM(for reconciliation).

React uses one directional flow style as opposed to the two-way data binding done in Angular.

ReactJS is so fast that instead of rendering the View(V) on the client as AngularJS does it(which is slow),

It instead renders its UI on the server, lots of advantages here --

1) SEO,

2). It doesn't joke with the DOM, cuz it knows the DOM is slow, that's where the term Virtual DOM comes is for reconciliation (updates the view with the difference calculated from the DOM and its own Virtual DOM).

cool, built any application with it before? Also, where do you stand on meteor js, just read about it on javascriptissexy.com, sounds exciting.

Haven't looked at Meteor, just working with Angular.js, before React.js
