To a Single Page Web Application and Back Again
Single page web applications have been all the rage recently. We created our own JS MVC framework and used it to rebuild our admin. Less than a year later we changed course. What fuelled this decision? What lessons have we learned? What worked and what didn’t? This talk will share our experiences, as well as our new hybrid approach: a modified version of Turbolinks combined with a lightweight binding system.
