G'day Developers!

Why SSW is moving to AngularJS and MVC – Great for users and great for devs.

Over the last 6 months, AngularJS has become the frontend framework of choice for SSW developers. They are all excited to be leveraging the combination of AngularJS and MVC in order to provide amazing user experiences.

Senior developers at SSW are excited to use AngularJS to make more responsive client side applications with a clear Separation of Concerns (SoC).

"Basically it's MVC for your client side"
Mark Liu – Solution Architect at SSW

The pace at which new JavaScript technologies are released is frightening. Angular is currently at version 1.3 and we have had increasing success with those projects. When 2.0 comes it will no doubt be a major change. Whilst some semantic changes are going be paper cuts to many developers, overall we are excited with the suite of improvements that 2.0 brings to the table. It certainly builds on the solid foundations already laid.

FireBootCamp.com attendees found using AngularJS and MVC an enlightening experience while building sswlinkauditor.com. Having the front end being able to leverage the backend power with technologies such as Microsoft Azure and ASP.NET WebAPI2 made AngularJS sing.

"What I loved about Angular was we were able to easily update live data and move between webpages without refreshing."
Duncan Hunter – FireBootCamp Attendee

How to Use Hot Towel Angular with Duncan Hunter

This presentation is a walk through of the code, benefits and how to get started using John Papa’s Hot Towel Angular. Hot Towel Angular creates a great starting point for building a Single Page Application (SPA).

Out of the box it provides a modular structure for your code, view navigation, data binding, separation of services, and simple but elegant styling. Hot Towel provides everything you need to build a SPA, so you can focus on your app, not the plumbing.

AngularJS is a client-side javascript framework that enables the creation of impressively dynamic user interfaces. It strives to remove the tedium of manipulating DOM elements by abstracting many common functions such as showing/hiding, updating content and injecting/removing elements.

"Happy ever after: Code Auditor married Roslyn" – Danijel Malik

At SSW we care about quality. We care about it some much that we built a tool named Code Auditor which scans code and reports issues. It's not really a secret that our rules relied on C# snippets and Regex patterns. Over time - as the C# language evolved - we started seeing false positives. Yikes! Then we met Roslyn – the new .NET compiler platform – which opened a new dimension in the Code Analysis world. We drive a Mercedes now. Want to have a test drive? Join me in this session and you'll learn what Roslyn can do for you. Forget the demos, see the real world code.

About the presenter:
Danijel works as a Solution Architect for SSW. He has 10+ years of experience building custom software solutions. Although he likes to explore bleeding edge technologies he will always look for quality first. Danijel is a Visual Studio ALM MVP and MCSD for Web Applications.
