Main Talk: Famo.us/Angular: A case study of AngularJS as a framework for frameworks (slides - http://thomasstreet.com/famous-angula...)
Speaker: Zack Brown (bio below)
Famo.us is a newcomer on the web framework scene. It allows developers to create high performance, cross-platform apps with first-class animations and interactions, but it takes an approach that’s very different from traditional HTML and CSS. While Famo.us shines as a rendering engine, it is not an MVC. On its own it can lack structure, testability, and streamlined data management. AngularJS, on the other hand, handles each of these very well. This talk will describe the technical challenges and considerations of integrating these two seemingly orthogonal yet complementary libraries, while highlighting AngularJS’s ability to be a “framework for frameworks.”
