Single Page Application

Will treehouse be doing anything on putting together a single page application?

I'm having trouble understanding how to do this with multiple users/accounts... like your typical SaaS.

The most useful class I've found is ember.js , otherwise, I've had trouble trying to understand how this would be done other than at a high level (e.g. I have a vague idea of the technologies that would be involved, AJAX/JSON/Angular/etc.

It would be great to have a track that brings you from start to finish in building a simple single page application (ready to take on multiple users).

AJAX, JSON are let's say technologies, however Ember, Backbone, Angular are frameworks. You can build single page apps with any of these frameworks, but all of these frameworks are using technologies sucha s AJAX and JSON and a lot more.

Hi Zoltan Radics,

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I do have a high-level understanding... in other words, I understand you would use ajax, json, and a framework like angular.

It's more seeing the directory structures + just more depth on how they all work together.

The ember.js class did a good job of this, but I think there could be more done.

The angular class is starting to get into this, so I may have spoken to soon.

Most of the people stick the flag at a framework. Everyone has a favourite. So do I. I am a great fan of Angular but i am moving into the ReactJS direction. I have worked with EmberJS in the past and it is a terribly awesome framework but for my taste is too monolityc and far too strict. I prefer a bit more freedom however freedom costs sometimes.

I have a quite deep understansing of Angular. I am using it for one and a half year now. I see it's advantages and disadvantages as well. I really expect a great improvement on Angular 2.
