8:20 PM: Yuri Takhteyev: "Developing Custom Directives"

Angular's directives, including the ability to write your own, are often billed as one of the key benefits of the framework, but when is it actually the right time to write your own custom directives? I will look at the costs and benefits of using directives in different scenarios, in particular in comparison to using controllers.
