How to Optimize Angular Applications

Angular is the most popular framework for building single page web applications. This doesn’t necessarily mean that your application can contain only one page. You can create a website with dozens of pages using Angular. The framework itself (latest versions) is well-optimized thanks to an amazing team and community, however, when it comes to performance we should always think about few things that can make our application run fast and smooth. - http://bit.do/eDdXA

On The Irrational Demonization Of Two-Way Data-Binding In Angular

The other day, Ben was listening to a JavaScript podcast on which a guest of the show pointed to two-way data-binding as one of the biggest “problems” in Angular. This is not a new thought - it’s something that he hears time-and-time again, especially from people in the React world. This demonization of two-way data-binding is completely irrational. And, unfortunately, if it’s said by enough “thought leaders”, it can become quite detrimental to the mental model of newer developers. So, he just wanted to come out and say that he absolutely loves the two-way data-binding in Angular. In fact, he thinks it’s one of the features that gives Angular its power. And, it’s a feature that he uses every single day with great success. - http://amp.gs/Edb4

Build a Simple Web App with Express, Angular, and GraphQL

During the past 10 years or so, the concept of REST APIs for web services has become the bread and butter for most web developers. Recently a new concept has emerged, GraphQL. GraphQL is a query language that was invented by Facebook and released to the public in 2015. During the last three years, it has created quite a stir. Some regard it as a new revolutionary way of creating web APIs. The main difference between traditional REST and GraphQL is the way queries are sent to the server. - http://amp.gs/EAW1
