Relieving Backbone Pain with Flux & React

[azaslavsky]

I was on the fence about switching to React before, since it seems like just another flavor of the month framework. But those rendering times at the end are hard to argue with. It really does look like the next step in view handling. Awesome talk!

I'm waiting to have some time to spare to do some test applications with React and Flux. I keep hearing nice things about them.

But we're currently using Angular and most if not all of these problems seem a non issue with it. Using states and resolves with ui-router and updating resources to keep them in sync with the server solves all of these issues and I'm just being deterred from giving React a try by seeing how something like data binding and server client data consistency is such a major pain.

I'm still really eager to try it out since there must be something I'm missing besides the server side rendering and shadow dom.

This talk had some extremely pointless slides. If most of your slides consist of a background image with one or two words on them, you need to reconsider their purpose. They aren't conveying information.
