AngularJS - Testability in mind
Presented by Vojta Jína. Sponsored by Brandwatch.
Angular teaches your old browser new tricks. It is what HTML would have been had it been designed for building web-applications.
Angular is radical because it eliminates boilerplate code with declarative rather than imperative syntax. Having an awesome framework is not enough; one needs to have easy testability, since this is the easiest way to develop and maintain big apps. In this session, we will focus on how AngularJS makes applications a joy to test and look at how Angular compares to other web application toolkits, like Backbone, Ember and Knockout.
