DrupalCon Barcelona 2015: Building the Front End with Angular.js

This talk explores the evolving landscape of web development, focusing on the decoupling of front end applications from back end systems, particularly in the context of Drupal 8. The speaker, John Ennew, lead developer at the Drupal agency Deeson, illustrates the benefits of this approach, such as improved flexibility and performance, as well as how to effectively structure a development team around decoupled applications. He also introduces Angular.JS as a robust framework for building decoupled front end applications, discussing the technical challenges and risks involved. Attendees will learn how to set up their development environment and create their first decoupled site with Drupal 8 and Angular.JS, along with considerations for transitioning from Drupal 7.
