On 2015-01-15 our members Max and Sibi showed the JavaScript framework “AngularJS” to us. It’s a framework to create so called Single Page Applications, developed by Google and a huge community.
Using simple examples of how the framework could be used, they showed us how to use AngularJS (the slides are available on Github). Only view additions to the normal HTML code are needed to create some awesome dynamic effects.
