Developing large apps is difficult. Ensuring that the code is consistent, well structured, tested, and that the architecture encourages maintainability is essential. When it comes to building large server-focused apps the solutions to this problem have been tried and tested. But, how do we achieve this when it comes to HTML5 single page apps?
In this talk you'll learn about the main concepts we have applied, how we have applied them - and how you can too - to achieve what might sound like the impossible.
