Job title:

Circle Web Foundry, Lead developer

I was doing web development as a hobby since 1999. I met Drupal around D4.6, did a small project for it, but have not actively used it. I rediscovered it in 2008 and have not done a non-Drupal project since. In 2012 I co-founded a small Serbian Drupal shop. I am a typical all-rounder, but my main areas of interest are front end development and user experience.

Session title:

Javascript Framework Jungle

Session summary:

JavaScript frameworks are fancy new tools on a cutting edge of technology and if used properly, they could bring order to our code, increase productivity and, in some cases, make coding pretty fun!

This session will start by giving a small retrospection to JavaScript evolution since Netscape days.

Main focus will be on four popular JS frameworks, each one with specific philosophy: Backbone.js, Ember.js, Angular.js and Meteor. We will cover basic syntax, sample applications using each of frameworks and possibility to use them in Drupal 7.

Special attention will be made to Backbone.js which found it's way to Drupal 8 core and its possibility to interact with other frameworks.
