Hey Angulars!
I know I had you with that awesome picture of Misko in a pirate hat? Ammaright?!
So this is something new I wanted to try and it turned out ‘pretty good’ and I am confident it will get better. Misko Hevery and Brian Ford are veritable treasure troves of information on AngularJS and I am SUPER lucky that we are buddies and they put up with me.
And so I wanted to start documenting some of the awesome things that float to the surface when we are talking and so here it is!
PLEASE hit me up with any burning questions you have about AngularJS and I will take it straight to the top! Happy coding!
Thanks Lukas for the momentum you’re helping with. I really like your site.
Great content, and great guys. It’s a bit fascinating that this AngularJS community is so tight and it’s top developpers/architects are that much present.
I learn almost every day, and it’s fun. One more thing I like is the best practices that are clearly given: it really helps structuring webapps.
I have one question though: why don’t the community members more often draw parallels with the traditional UI world? I mean, for instance this isolated scope’s ports I think relate to interfaces in OO programming. It is because usually web developers to not often have that background? Is it because, on the contrary, it would lead people to reproduce what’s there and not grasp the angularjs way? Maybe it wouldn’t really be useful. I’m just curious.
Cheers,
Romain
Hey Lukas, I’d like to be a bit more precise: by no means I think the top devs do not know traditional UI or OO, of course. My question was about the vast majority of web developers, which I don’t know much about.
To answer my own question: with no references to traditional UI, I had to take a fresh approach to directives and isolated scopes: that’s a good thing! It was no that long and I drew the parallel myself.
Nice news that’s you’re writing a book. I like that ‘… in Action’ collection. I’ll buy your book. Maybe a section on ‘Angular for devs coming from Java or Qt’ would be useful / help grow your audience a bit? I’d like to see sections on performance (Angular is great also in that area), and on dirty checking / events as Misko brilliantly explained on SO.
Cheers,
Romain
How would you consider having ng-click on one element that needs to move another element? For example if you were building a slideshow and underneath there were pagination buttons. Would the controller be updated by the pagination and if so how does the directive know to move the slideshow?
