Aurelia is Rob Eisenberg’s new framework for SPA’s (single page applications), and I wanted to set it up in combination with ASP.NET. I’m a fan of Angular, but I’ve been watching Aurelia closely too. Angular has a large following, which I find very important, because it guarantees you will have quick and easy support when you encounter a problem. But I dabbled with Durandal and like Rob Eisenberg’s approach. It feels like there has gone a little more thought into

Rob Eisenberg was at ngEurope to talk about Angular’s new router. Rob is the author of Durandal and has recently been added to the Angular team. Together, they took a good look at the different routers out there (SammyJS, EmberJS, Durandal,…). They used what worked and improved what didn’t to create a new router for Angular 2.0.

Mimosa is a build tool for Node.js apps. But it’s more than just building. For a very nice introduction, check out the ‘Tour of Mimosa’ slideshow on their homepage. In short, it will do almost anything you need to get from the source of your web app to something that you can deploy to the server: JS transpiling, CSS linting, JS hinting, minification, dependencies, etc. But it also helps while developing, for example by allowing live reload so you see
At Team4Talent we recently held an entire day of developer sessions. We regularly have someone give a session on an interesting topic, but always after work. This limits time somewhat. An entire day makes it possible to have multiple sessions and dive more deeply into the topics at hand.I myself gave a session on using Durandal for single page applications. Some of my colleagues are very much pro-javascript (looking at you Tim!), while others are sceptical. I hope I could
