Thin client SPAs. Stream UI using web standards

11:00 - 11:30, 18th of May (Wednesday) 2016/ TECH STAGE

Have you noticed what web frameworks such as Angular and Flux/React have in common? It is the prevalence of the “fat” client architecture. The ongoing discussion between the proponents of various “fat” client frameworks has distorted our view. Client-side logic is, in fact, not needed to make a single page application.

In my talk I will present how to make a SPA with zero logic on the client. I will use WebSocket and JSON-Patch to stream the user interface directly from the server. Please buckle your seatbelts, because you can get twice as productive as your friends who spend countless hours writing glue code and duplicating server-side logic in their clients!
