NPM-Style Frontend

Explore modular frontend development using NPM-style approaches in this JSConf 2014 talk by Jake Verbaten. Learn how to create standalone components and widgets publishable to npm, including styles and templates. Discover techniques for composing modules to build custom frameworks with specific trade-offs. Understand how to construct applications from smaller applications and develop UI components with thin interfaces. Dive into topics such as Browserify, modularity, code complexity reduction, and the advantages of small modules. Examine concepts like React Flux, unidirectional philosophy, and decomposing applications. Gain insights on input handling, rendering, and widget creation while embracing a modular, framework-free approach to frontend development.
