Description:

It's one thing to know and use jQuery on a website and quite another when building an app. With the flexability of jQuery, there are countless approaches for constructing the front-end of an application. This session focuses on building an app using an event driven approach with the goal of maintaining loose-coupling between the UI and it's cooresponding data. We'll look at the value of being able to integrate with an existing architecture, examine where to separate and draw the lines for roles within a team, and focus on how to bring consistency to the codebase. We'll take some REST services, a few additional components for caching, storage, service abstraction and UI and produce an app that is maintainable and feature rich.
