Hi,

I'm doing my masters in computer science and am looking for a research topic on angular or on javascript application frameworks in general. Any suggestions/recommendations would help.

Thanks,

That's a pretty broad question...any more details you can provide what you're trying to do? There are tons of articles out there comparing the different frameworks and even this website that houses them all: http://todomvc.com/

Certainly an important part of using a framework for me is that I don't have to instantiate and use that framework's code all over my logic (seriously ties your code to theirs). Angular is great in that data returned from their server can stay as plain json and can be used anywhere. Knockout, for example, you have to specifically create "observable" properties that wrap the data value to get two way binding.

A lot of frameworks in the past made it easy to code badly but calling jquery DOM updates everywhere throughout your code (change class name, set width(), show/hide) etc....Angular removes all that with directives, a very powerful feature/component unlike any framework. DOM manipulation is very expensive and Angular handles all this for you and makes sure it performs it at the right times.

I think a work on the different generation of javascript frameworks could be very interesting (where angular.js and ember,js are the "Next generation frameworks", correlating framework development to js specs (es3, es5 es6 etc) and advancing browsers capabilities and new api's (eg html5). thje changing views on the role of js in a software project.  etc

I recently completed a thesis at Masters level in computer science and while the topic was technical (visualizing rna) I spent most of my efforts on how to construct an application using modern web application methodology.  Happy to send along a copy.

Hi Stefan,

 

I was holiday last two weeks so sorry for not replying.  I’ve got a pdf copy at home, so will send it along later today, or in the morning.

 

Cheers,

 

Todd

One idea is to investigate the performance of dirty checking in AngularJS and compare it to other strategies for data binding (i.e. change listeners). You could start with Misko's comment at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9682092/databinding-in-angularjs.
