In your opinion why is it a good option for startups?2:55 – Guest: Angular is a very good choice.3:55 – Guest: If you are not familiar with these concepts or a seasoned developer then it can be difficult and complex to get started. It really depends on what you are trying to build.4:47 – Chuck: Once you get rolling with it then you run into limitations with it. If you need something simple and fast it’s really nice.5:08 – Guest: Yes. Trying to find your market niche. Angular is very simple to transfer. Angular has a great community. There are some problems, and we know it. Like the whole mess with versions also...6:27 – John: Can you elaborate a little?6:34 – Guest: Yes, if you want to be in the latest technologies...so sometimes you get into a situation when you wan to have some libraries installed and you cannot do that. If you are on one version and this one isn’t supported, then it was a huge mess.7:43 – Guest adds in more comments.8:26 – Guest: Currently I have Angular 1. It is too complicated to rewrite.8:40 – Guest adds comments.8:57 – John: There would have to be a compelling reason for me to go to Angular 6 at this point. Going from 4 to 5 or 5 to 6 – the one feature – boy that is so amazing. To have it to update your app, and update your code then that’s awesome. If you didn’t know that a command changed then you were in trouble. I agree version control has always been a challenge.10:20 – Guest: What I like about Angular is the community – it drives it in the right direction. They try to make it more productive and that’s what I like.10:43 – Chuck: What is it like to run a startup?10:56 – Guest: I started to write the application. What you see is what you get. I use Angular 1.
JavaScript is a heavier language.14:54 – Guest adds comments.16:02 – Panelist: What kind of server are you using for your startup?16:19 – Guest: I have Angular 1 as a backhand. The main application right now is...17:11 – Panelist: What has the experience been like for people?17:26 – Guest: Yes...17:32 – Panelist: What were the benefits of using
Angular?17:40 – Guest: Angular was very helpful. The performance is much better. Important for startups is to know how to write functionality.18:53 – Panelist: What forms were you using?19:01 – Guest: Template driven. In Angular 1, I created “what you see is what you get.”19:52 – Panelist: I am torn about forms. The Reactive side but you move a lot of code that doesn’t feel all that intuitive to me. There are pros and cons of each, but it’s not exactly where I want it to be. I would love to mix the 2 together. Have you dealt with validation in the forms?21:04 –
Digital Ocean’s Advertisement. 21:41 – Guest: I have an editor. I send it to the client. Each input is having some sort of validation.23:17 – Panelist: How do you make them look good? Yeah, I can do it but how does it not look generic? Do you have a layout?23:53 – Guest: I throw it into the screen – I try to keep it simple.25:04 – Panelist: That makes sense. I didn’t know if there was a crossover of complexity. I want a balance between...25:38 – Panelist: Reactive or Template driven?25:45 – Guest makes...
