34--Angularize-me-Capn-Ari Gonzalez

[AriGonzo]

Review

Today we covered a lot:

• Domain Modeling, Service-Oriented Architecture, and more MVC concepts.
• Unit testing Angular applications with Karma, PhantomJS, and our old friends, Mocha, and Chai
• Mocking API requests via ngMock.$httpBackend (more on Mock Objects)
• Using Restangular instead of $http
• Refactoring reusable Services out of Controllers

I also showed you some tools and concepts:

• Continuous Integration with Travis CI
• DataBase-as-a-Service with Firebase
• Authentication via OAuth with Hello.js

  Shaping up with Angular JS, Take 4

• [X] If you haven't completed the Shaping Up with Angular JS course on CodeSchool, please do so. You should work through levels 3, 4, and 5 tonight. Play back through any levels that you still feel shaky about.

  Github Profile -- Restangular Edition

• [ ] Refactor your Github Profile assignment to use Angular JS and specifically the Restangular library instead of the $http service. If you're feeling intrepid, use hello.js to add a "Login with Github" button that updates the UI for the logged-in user.

  Real-Time Comments

• [X] Refactor your Github Comments assignment to use Firebase via the AngularFire library, instead of the Github API. You'll need to create your own (FREE!) account, and I recommend following the Angular Quickstart tutorial, the longer AngularFire tutorial, and reading some of the Firebase Hosting documentation. You could drop your improved commenting app onto your blog for awesome real-time comments! Kinda like Disqus... Kinda.

  Build me something... interesting.

• [X] In small groups of 3 or 4, use all the tools in your toolbox to build something... interesting. Invent something. You should use at least 2 public or authenticated data APIs. Please write User Stories, write them down, and estimate them. Commit frequently using the git-flow methodology. This is practice for your final projects.
