What did you do when the infatuation with Angular wore off? Did you see the project through to production release? Was your employer satisfied with the outcome?

- sheraz 12y agoFortunately there was no app built in Angular -- it was Backbone. We saw it through to the end, and everyone is happy (at least no one was fired). But you don't want to look at my git commit messages. Lots of cursing at callbacks and async hell. Big lesson kids: When learning a new toolkit or framework, build a toy project you can discard when it is over. That way there is no technical debt, and you will be better able to analyze and decide if this is right for the Big Project(tm) ahead. That is what I did for React and Flux. I took some hours at work and at home to get up to speed with a small PhoneGap app. Once I was satisfied, I presented to my team. There were some questions and feedback, and it made evangelizing much easier -- it sold itself.
