Presentations
AngularJS
AngularJS is a JavaScript-based Web framework from Google that focuses
on building single-page Web applications. It adds features to HTML
that make it more suitable for building these applications. Examples
include directives (new elements and attributes) and binding expressions
that provide two-way data binding with model data represented as plain
JavaScript objects.
AngularJS accelerates Web application development, requiring far less
JavaScript code than equivalent applications built using other
client-side frameworks. A large amount of code in many dynamic
Web applications is focused on performing DOM manipulations.
Libraries like jQuery make DOM manipulation easy.
AngularJS makes writing DOM manipulation code mostly unncecessary.
