Single Page Web Apps

Meet at 6pm for 6:30 start.

Presented by Silvio Montanari of ThoughtWorks.

Single page web applications can create dynamic, snappy and responsive user interfaces. Along with the benefits of this approach, however, come the costs: higher complexity.

Writing and running fast, efficient, automated tests across code within a browser environment has long been a challenge for web developers, and with the increased demand for more complex front end applications, it is becoming crucial.

In this talk I describe techniques and libraries to tackle some of these issues, in particular:

Test effectively your single page JavaScript web applications using Jasmine, SinonJS and Funcunit Decouple your business logic from the DOM using AngularJS to manipulate the UI Organise your code to reflect the responsibilities of the different components within your application.
