What is
- A new MVC framework designed to build ambitious web apps.
- It does a lot of job for you, so you can focus on what really matters.
- Reduces boilerplate code.
- Keeps your views updated with a powerful binding mechanism.
Oh really?
Options in the wild.
(Scary words that deserve a scary font)
User interfaces are hard
- Display data from a source
- Keep that information updated when source changes
- React to user interaction
- Store contextual state
