[dba-Tech] Learning AngularJS....

Tue Jun 16 01:51:02 CDT 2015

Keep in mind. When you say older, we are only talking about a matter of 1-2 years difference. The big difference between Backbone and Angular is that BB is a fairly un-opinionated framework. You get the basics and you mold it into whatever you like. It's also very extensible if you want to start adding more features (ie 2 way data binding etc etc), while Angular is very opinionated and you have to work within the flexibility it affords you, which is fine too. Ember is even more opinionated, but for reasons that would take longer to explain. At the end of the day, I like BB (combined with Require.js) just because I've used it enough to bang out small to large well structured and testable applications with ease and I don't require the framework to guide me through that process. On the whole though, I applaud the Angular folks for making front end development a better more structured experience, because BB is so flexible that a clueless person can (and I have seen this first hand) come up with a truly horrific monstrosity if they don't know what they are doing and lack experience with front end frameworks and writing good JavaScript. But when you know what you are doing, you can write very good, robust, scalable and lean applications with BB.
