Angular: A Radically Different Way of Building AJAX Apps

Google Tech Talk July 28, 2010 ABSTRACT Presented by Misko Hevery. Angular teaches your old browser new tricks. It is what HTML would have been like, if it was designed for building web-applications. Angular is radical because it eliminates boilerplate code with declarative rather than imperative syntax. Angular: * Allows you to create custom HTML elements and attributes that provide dynamic behavior * Declaratively describe web-applications behavior with little JavaScript. * Creates an environment that provides trivially reusable widgets, data-binding, "automatic MVC", server resources, and other primitives useful in building AJAX apps. * Builds apps that have orders of magnitude less JavaScript than equivalent apps written in classical way. * Eliminates waiting on compiling for UI changes.
