Join us and Signature Consultants on Tuesday, August 26, at 6:00 PM in the Multi-Purpose Room (MPR) of the Charlotte Microsoft Campus. Who says writing Line of Business applications are a pain? Who says you can’t have compile-time exceptions? Gone are the days of slinging spaghetti JavaScript code in order to satisfy business requirements. We will look at what it takes to build a simple Line of Business application using TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and AngularJS. If you don’t know what TypeScript is but you do know JavaScript, look no further: JavaScript is TypeScript. TypeScript is a transpiler that provides a lot of syntactical sugar for developers but ultimately outputs JavaScript. We will also address designing our applications “mobile first” by using the popular framework Bootstrap. During this talk we will try to cover the following:
- Project structure
- Intro to AngularJS
- AngularJS in a TypeScript world
- Bootstrap 3, mobile first, and responsive web
- Hosting your app with NodeJS and ExpressJS
- Intro GulpJS for build automation
- Intro to WebAPI for CRUD
This is just the tip of the iceberg but it should give you a good idea as to what it feels like building LOB apps.
