Thinking in Polymer (The Polymer Summit 2015)

Polymer embraces encapsulated Custom Elements as its main organizing unit. This simple-sounding concept is actually an incredibly powerful tool that can revolutionize how you think about solving complex problems, collaborate within large teams, reduce technology lock-in, and of course, build amazing apps for the web. Hear how we think about building apps using custom elements directly from one of the Polymer core team engineers, and how to best employ this simple concept for the most leverage in your own projects.

Must see video to get a good picture of how Polymer works!

This was an awesome talk! Incredibly insightful and helpful in designing your apps.

Awesome intro to Polymer

It seems like on 28:21 it should be "properties: { thread: Object }" instead of "properties: { title: Object}".

[@Anothy]

For the chat-thread-element segment. I'm guessing it was a type when the property 'thread' changed to 'title' in the next slides?

GOOD VIDEO

So, the Polymer design pattern is to basically nest elements until you drop a element on to your index page?

[@bdaug321]

+SectionF4 Although you can do that, I don't think that is necessarily needed. That is really the cool part of Polymer. You can use it as much or as little as you need for your application.

Could anyone please tell me if the music is a song, or if it is custom made? Sounds good :)

[@pankajagarwal5472]

which road picture is shown at 7:02 ?

[@adityamparikh]

What is the host and what is the child?

[@vaibhavarora5067]

I think host is the parent element, or the container of 'children' elements ... It listens to 'child' and passes on the information to all other children.

Poor Kevin - he really must have had it drilled into him to say "Mediator pattern!" every time.
