Do you like
web components?
Have you ever used them before?
Why not?
I just need something quick and easy.
I don't have time to learn another technology.
My app already exists, I don't want to have to rebuild it.
We already use
[insert MVC].
What is a web component?
"Web Components are a set of standards currently being produced by Google engineers as a W3C specification that allow for the creation of reusable widgets or components in web documents and web applications. The intention behind them is to bring component-based software engineering to the World Wide Web. The components model allows for encapsulation and interoperability of individual HTML elements."
tl;dr
Custom HTML elements

<source src="devstories.mp4" type='video/mp4' />
<source src="devstories.webm" type='video/webm' />

Using Polymer, today
By Sam Beckham
Using Polymer, today
Polymer has been brewing in the Google labs for a the last few years. It's an awesome framework, but it's not been stable enough to use in production; until now. With the release of Polymer v1.0, we can finally start using it in the real world. It's time to take another look. In this talk I'll run through a quick overview of what Polymer is and what it does. I'll go over the re-vamped Polymer elements that get you up and running with a slick looking web app really quickly and I'll also dive in to how you can go about creating your own components.
