Talk Synopsis:

"SOA with AngularJS: Agile and Simplicity"

In the startup world, speed and adaptability of engineering when faced with changing requirements and increasingly ambitious designs, it is up to frontend engineers to implement at lightning speeds while not sacrificing quality with cross-browser compatibility & responsiveness on mobile.

We will explore approaches to modularity & pitfalls of different solutions, and explore why service-oriented architecture is the way forward for frontend web development, regardless of framework you use. We will also explore how this applies with AngularJS and how it provides the path forward for a less painful migration in the future, whether it be with Angular 2.0, React, Polymer, or any other approach.
