• What is Angular.js ?

• AngularJS is a structural framework for dynamic web apps. It lets you use HTML as your template language and lets you extend HTML's syntax to express your application's components clearly and succinctly. Angular's data binding and dependency injection eliminate much of the code you currently have to write.

• What is Angular.js ?

• MVC web framework to model your application using client side JavaScript as opposed to Server side code.– The Model is the data created by the application– The View is the HTML representation of the data through

the use of Templates– The Controller is the application code which is used to

determine the way the Model is populated and displayed.

• Business Perspective– Requirements– Customers

• Personal Perspective– Web development– Increasingly popular– Too bleeding edge for Enterprise today but they will

catch up eventually

• Requirements– Mixed technology production environment– Multiple Web Server environment– Pressure on existing Notes applications to Modernize or

Die?

• Why do I care?

• Requirements– Because you want a subset of one application’s

functionality to appear in another application – Dashboards• Charts• Reports

– Functional decision making across systems
