Echte Cross-Plattform-Anwendungen mit Angular, Cordova & Electron

Mit dem Einzug von Single-Page Application Frameworks steht modernen HTML5-Anwendungen nichts mehr im Wege: komponentenbasierte Entwicklung, Zwei-Wege-Datenbindung oder Dependency Injection - das alles und viel mehr bietet ein Framework wie Angular. Gepaart mit TypeScript bietet sich die Möglichkeit der statischen Codeanalyse, Refactorings und IntelliSense. In dieser Session zeigt Ihnen Manuel Rauber, wie man mit dem Open-Source Framework die modernen Browser- und Web-Features nutzen kann, um echte Cross-Plattform-Business-Anwendungen für Desktop und mobile Endgeräte entwickeln und wie diese an die Benutzer ausgeliefert werden können.

15. Concepts
    • Goal: scaling, reusability
    • Component
    • Combines logic & view
    • Visible to the user
    • Isolated & reusable
    • Service
    • Reusable logic without a view
    • Contains the business logic: getting data from a server, model validation, …
    • Module: Collection of components and services
