Bio:

Mike Whitfield (http://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgwhitfield) recently moved back to DC from Austin, TX where he spent the last year working for Cisco among others. Mike began working on his own JavaScript library in 2012 called Ambassador. His goal was to translate the effective “hooks” system used in WordPress to the client. Luckily, the market was moving in the same direction. Mike has benefitted working in libraries like AngularJS since they “feel” more like developing with Flash. Mike lived a past life developing 3D military games like Insurgency.

Talk Synopsis:

Scaling Angular as a Team

What do you do when your application has 50 views and you want to create a new view? How do you condense your HTTP calls for grabbing data when 12 views share the same data requirements? How do you memory manage a page and prevent it from holding 50x the DOM data needed to display what the user is currently looking at? What is the best way to approach authentication? How do you distribute workload and define roles in Angular? In this talk I’ll share an Angular implementation we architected at Cisco.
