Transcript

1. Model, View, Whatever. *Document Object Model - not me! or how I learned to stop worrying and love the DOM*

3. • Complex UI • Feel really fast • Comparable to native mobile apps • Can work offline • Cool MVC MVW frameworks galore
4. But…
6. • Javascript :( • Initial page load • Duplicated code • < noscript /> • IE <9 Internet Explorer • Deep linking • Error handling • SEO
7. Another way is possible.
9. • Render a full working web page on the server • For all routes, not just the first hit of index page • Bind SPA afterwards • SPA uses the same markup • Client and server use same templates
10. • Real forms! • Real links! • No duplicated templates! • No white screen of death! • Error recovery for free! • Cheap integration tests! • Maximum dev gibberish: Isomorphic Application
