We meet at 6:30pm on the second Tuesday of each month at the
Farmington Community Library.

 Topics Include:

 Introduction to Angular

 With the introduction of single page application tooling and
concepts, frontend frameworks now have DOM composition and
manipulation capabilities that belonged exclusively to server-side
scripting languages like PHP & Python. With Angular, rich client side
applications are able to re-render their pages in response to
navigation events without making a request to fetch new HTML.

 This talk introduces Angular as a multi-platform framework with an
extensive feature set for web application use cases that range from
hobbyist side projects to enterprise applications. We examine
Angular's history and versioning nomenclature briefly and take a
closer look at what the framework offers and what makes it so popular.

 David Agbenyega is a software developer at United Shore Financial
Services where he actively builds web components using the angular
framework. He has a Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from Ashesi
University in Ghana & a Master's Degree in Supply Chain Management
from the University of Warwick, UK. Fun fact - In 2016 he founded an
e-commerce fulfillment company in Ghana  (part of the Jumia Group of
Companies) - which continues to provide order management and last-mile
delivery across the country. In his spare time, he teaches his 2-year
old to play Mario-Kart or e-picks off books from his Goodreads shelf.

 Plus we'll have our regular features: Jobs Looking for People, People
Looking for Jobs, and much more! We'll also be meeting for dinner at
the Buddy's Pizza in Novi (44225 W 12 Mile Road, Novi, MI 48377) after
the meeting.
