Angular 2 and Progressive Web Apps - Google I/O 2016

The Angular team has been investing in building tools and techniques that enable large teams to build robust applications that span desktop and mobile. Rob Wormald and Alex Rickabaugh cover the completely re-imagined Angular 2 framework, and the new tools that make it easy to build Progressive Web Apps.

Perhaps this is the future of web dev? This is my next hobby project indeed, PWA and ang2. Sweeet n dandy :D :D :D

[@tobyliu2181]

great talk, and strong showing for Angular 2.0 remaining as a top candidate for modern frameworks

[@zakariaamine88]

Lazy routes is the same concept as GWT code splitting and it was there long time ago

[@ranbuch]

Sounds great - What a jump for the user experience!

[@StijnHommes]

Here we are 5 years later and Google is still trying to make PWAs a thing. They should've given up by now.

[@peterveliki7918]

What is the emulator they're using to show all of this? ... It would be really great if someone can tell us :)

[@doudougv]

Where can we find the build process for the 22KB Hello World App?

[@BenKinsey808]

Using google closure compiler? github.com/jeffbcross/closure-compiler-angular-bundling

[@fractalsynapse]

haha! All this to come full circle to the server serving HTML via Universal all for a seamless UX, too funny. Soon the revolution will be cross platform native, again :)

[@jeremycaldwell9653]

Please translate this to me, I mean, describe it, cause I have no ideea what you're trying to say . Not trying to be rude, just that I don't understand all those terms.

It used to be commonplace for server side frameworks to serve the pre-rendered page to the client. Eventually it became a trend to use server side frameworks to just share raw data and have the client side framework do the work of filling up the HTML template with the data obtained from the server. Since that approach has yielded worse performance on low-end hardware like phones, there is a shift back in the direction of using server-side frameworks to pre-render the page once more, in conjunction with some of the philosophies of the server-as-API approach.

[@jeremycaldwell9653]

itsalivevideo Ahh, I understand now. Thanks a lot for your answer random stranger.

[@itsalivevideo]

no problem puck

[@jessebeckton3717]

Thats not why they came up with Universal, In order for Angular 2 to be a cross platform framework they had to decouple it from the browser. Universal gives us a server side framework that is the same as the framework you would use on the client. Server html from the server is just necessary in certain situations but not the driver for creating Universal. Imagine writing Angular components that you can run on both server and client?

[@edouardbrasier1969]

Where is the code of the app?

[@jimlynch3219]

Does the cli create a project that uses Angular Universal?

[@AhamedImran]

I've tried it recently and it didn't

[@MojoRisingX]

Not yet, but it will be integrated with it soon. Check out the universal starter, it's just a few lines on your Node server that's needed github.com/angular/universal-starter (if you're using NodeJS)

[@nathanrice5363]

It sounded like if you tack on --mobile it would.

[@ShreyasAgarkar]

Great time to be a web developer

[@StijnHommes]

Yeah. You can fake being an app developer and grab some extra cash, while users like me and real app developers are left out in the cold. If this keeps going for a couple of years, there won't be any real apps left.

[@emmanuelvalverderamos]

I love the talk, but I would like more documentation, a lot more.

[@kailashshukla1313]

hot news

[@peterveliki7918]

This course is the best tutorial I've seen so far :) ... you can take a look also ;)

[@joejoe-lb6bw]

Isn't this just "Isomorphic" JavaScript, circa 2013?

[@danyelangel1]

Yeah it is! And there is much more to it than just javascript xD

[@bruffstar]

"right......"
