Most modern front-end JavaScript libraries provide support for component based development. Components help separate large applications into standalone building blocks with specified communication API. Let's compare Polymer elements with components from React, Angular.
Polymer is the latest web framework out of Google. Designed completely around the emerging Web Components standards, it has the lofty goal of making it easy to build apps based on these low level primitives. Along with Polymer comes a new set of Elements (buttons, dialog boxes and such) based on the ideas of "Material Design". These technologies together make it easy to build responsive, componentized "Single Page" web applications that work for browsers on PCs or mobile devices. But what about the backend, and how do we make these apps secure? In this talk Scott Deeg will take you through an introduction to Polmyer and its related technologies, and then through the build out of a full blown cloud based app with a secure, ReSTful backend based on Spring ReST, Spring Cloud, and Spring Security and using Thymeleaf for backend rendering jobs. At the end he will show the principles applied in a tool he's currently building. The talk will be mainly code walk through and demo, and assumes familiarity with Java/Spring and JavaScript.
In this presentation we'll take a look at building a full stack web application using Polymer and Web Components. After a quick introduction to Polymer, we’ll see how we can handle things like authentication, pagination of large data sets, and adapting our UI to different viewports. We’ll also review what’s needed for moving our app to production and optimizing our User Experience with quick load times and transition animations.
Google Polymer builds a comprehensive web platform on the foundation of the emerging standard of Web Components.
This is in a developer-focused session on developing iOS apps with Web Components and Google Polymer. Web Components usher in a new era of web development based on encapsulated and interoperable custom elements that extend HTML itself. Built atop these new standards, Polymer makes it easier and faster to create anything from a button to a complete application across desktop, mobile, and beyond.
Polymer is a library for creating reusable web components. It allows developers to define custom elements with associated JavaScript behaviors to provide sophisticated user interfaces. Key features include defining local DOM, data binding with templates, declaring custom element properties, and composing elements from other elements. Properties support default values, configuration from markup, and two-way data binding for dynamic updates.
Web Components are like Lego bricks. Easy to assemble and every piece simply fits together. But there is even more to it. Being able to create your own HTML-Tags with encapsulated style & logic changes the way you think about structuring your web applications. Get a sneak peek on how to develop scalable & maintainable applications in the future.
Polymers are large molecules, created of many subunits, and together they can compose larger elements that are fundamental to biological structure and function. This is exactly the idea behind Polymer. To create custom HTML elements, as encapsulated, reusable components that work across desktop and mobile. To achieve this, Polymer uses the latest web technologies, such as Web Components, Shadow DOM, HTML templates and imports.
Web Components promise to change how we think about modularity on the web, and when combined with the structure and organization of Backbone.js we can create portable, dynamic, encapsulated UI modules that fit into any web application.

Entering the multi-screen era means rethinking how we build our applications. Producing a few PSDs doesn't cut it anymore, we have to start seeing the things we design as components within larger systems. Join us to learn how to use Polymer to revolutionize your design process. With these new tools we can create the UIs of the future, and shorten the time between concept and reality.
Web Components allow developers to build reusable custom elements that encapsulate HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. They include features like Shadow DOM for encapsulation, templates for stamping out repeated sections, HTML imports for modular code, and custom elements for defining new types of elements. Polymer makes it easy to build web applications using these new web component standards by providing polyfills and a set of pre-built reusable elements.
The document discusses emerging web component technologies including templates, shadow DOM, custom elements, and HTML imports. It provides examples of how each technology addresses limitations of past approaches like jQuery plugins and Angular directives by allowing developers to build reusable, encapsulated widgets and components using standard web technologies like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. These new standards enable building complex web UIs in a modular, component-based way.
This document discusses the future of CSS and web development with web components. It introduces some key concepts in web components like templates, shadow DOM, custom elements, and HTML imports. Templates allow creating hidden chunks of HTML, shadow DOM provides encapsulation for styling, custom elements define new HTML tags, and HTML imports bundle related scripts and styles. Web components aim to address issues with current frontend development approaches and enable more modular and reusable code with standards like templates, shadow DOM, and custom elements. Polyfills can provide support for these features in older browsers. Popular web component libraries include Polymer and Mozilla Brick which provide pre-built reusable elements.
If you haven’t explored Web Components yet, you’re missing out on a powerful tool that can greatly enhance reusability of common web elements throughout your websites and web applications. As Comcast has been updating our web properties to unify under a single UX, using Web Components with Polymer has helped make that process much more efficient. In nearly 2 years while creating hundreds of our own custom elements, we’ve learned a lot about the benefits & drawbacks to Polymer along the way. This case study will introduce Polymer & Web Components, demonstrate when Polymer is useful, when other options should be considered, and what it takes to deploy Polymer components to millions of customers.
Presentation about the native browser way for building web components. We look at examples and the pros and cons of doing it natively and using a library. At the end we look at the Angular way of wrapping custom components into Custom Elements.
On Github: http://andrewrota.github.io/complementarity-of-react-and-web-components-presentation/index.html The component driven, performance focused approach of React is a perfect complement to the modularity and portability of native HTML Web Components. At first glance, React and Web Components might seem like two radically different solutions to the same problem. But when combined properly they complement each other to create an extremely powerful, expressive framework for developing complex web applications.
The document discusses modern web application development workflows. It begins by looking at past workflows that lacked structure and organization. It then introduces Node.js as a JavaScript runtime and describes how JavaScript tools like Yeoman, Bower, Grunt and Gulp help provide structure, manage dependencies, automate tasks and enforce best practices. The document provides an overview of how these tools work and how they can be used to improve development workflows.
