In this session, John will introduce you to how to use Angular from within the Visual Studio context and outside the Visual Studio context.

Whenever JavaScript frameworks are discussed, AngularJS is likely to be a big part of the discussion. Angular may be what you need. Then again, it may not be what you need. To make an informed decision about any tool, library or framework, you need some basic, unbiased information about that tool, library or framework. In this session, John will introduce you to AngularJS, its core principles and how to begin building applications with it. Angular is what's known as an "Opinionated" framework - meaning that it has some definite opinions on how web-based single page applications should be built. That is not to say that Angular isn't flexible and extensible - it is. The opinions upon which Angular is based need to be embraced in order to get the most out of Angular. For example, Angular was built from the ground up with testability in mind. Angular was built to be a standalone without dependencies on other libraries and frameworks. John will introduce you to how to use Angular from within the Visual Studio context and outside the Visual Studio context. This isn't going to be a session on why AngularJS is better than tool X or Y. Instead, if you are looking for an introduction to what AngularJS is and information to make up your own mind as to whether or not to add it to your web toolkit, this is a session you will want to attend.
