"Working with Angular Components" by Cutter

Angular 1.5 introduced a new paradigm, in Angular development, by shifting reusable display bits to “Components”. Angular Components replace many traditional Directives, while continuing to provide a rich ecosystem for handling isolate scope and change handling, giving us the flexibility to create more modular display blocks for reuse. While very similar to Directives, there are key differences that a developer needs to be aware of when deciding which to use in a specific situation. This session will cover the basics of Angular Component architecture and development, some of the differences between Components and Directives, and some guidelines to use when determining which is appropriate for your use case.
