Review

Today we looked at Yeoman, generators, and kickstarters like HTML5 Boilerplate and Angular Kickstart. The generators attempt to follow and enforce the Angular Best Practice for App Structure: breaking down applications into discrete feature modules.

In class, we used generator-gulp-angular to start a new Angular JS project -- a Twitter clone that uses the Github API to store our comments -- using Gulp, Bower, and Bootstrap. We talked about the problems with authentication and authorization and used OAuth to get a token from Github for use with our application.

Shaping Up with Angular JS, Take 3!

• Work through Level 2, 3, and 4 tonight, same rules as yesterday. You should be able to breeze through level 2 on your own, but the concepts in 4 will be fuzzy. Plow through by buying answers and typing them to proceed! Don't get bogged down!

Look at all the Comments!

Using our in-class project as a reference, build your own Github-powered Twitter site. It should satisfy all the following User Stories, have a PR to your TIY-Assignments:master branch, and be deployed to your TIY-Assignments Github Pages. Include a link to the page in your WIP issue and link the PR to your WIP issue as usual. MAKE TODOS FOR YOURSELF!!

I can post a comment so that I can express my opinion on the internet.

• Comment text is restricted to 140 characters in length.
• You must supply a OAuth token to identify yourself.
• The new comment should be added to the page and your WIP issue in the class repository.

I can see the list of all previous comments so that I can read the opinions of others.

• Show the name of the user who wrote the comment, their avatar (appropriately sized), and link to their Github profile.
• Include the date and time that the comment was last updated.
• The body of the comment should render any included Markdown syntax.
• All comments added to your issue via Github should also appear on your page.

I can edit a comment that I have previously made so that I can correct typos or adjust formatting.

• There should be a UI element on a comment that makes it "editable".
• The UI element should be disabled for comments that I didn't create (need a hint?)
• If the comment is more than 2 minutes old, I cannot edit it (on your page).

Testing. Testing... Is this thing on?

What we do in life echoes in eternity.

My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions and loyal servant to the TRUE emperor, Marcus Aurelius. Father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife. And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next.

Listen to me. Learn from me. I was not the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me. Win the crowd and you will win your freedom.
