Garann Means 3.3
Description:
Templates are the best kind of tool: simple to write and implement, but powerful enough to make your architecture slicker and your code leaner. Getting markup out of your Javascript is a huge deal, but templates can help with more than that. They can manage repeated code snippets, allow you to deftly switch states in single page applications, and help keep your code DRY when supporting users with and without Javascript enabled. Using and extending them creatively can make any architecture a little awesomer.

Really enjoyed your talk Garann, and you have some remarkable insight I was compelled to go read your dev blog after listening to you. ;)
I had never messed with templates before, and am happy to now have a bit of understanding what they even do and how to give a go at trying them out.
If I may suggest, slow down your brain a bit when speaking? lol that may sound odd, but I got the feeling you were trying to make sure you got everything to us in the allotted time and maybe felt rushed, but don't worry it was great and enjoyable. Thanks!
