Wilson Pages presents how Web Components are used in Gaia.

We’ve seen the future, and it’s looking modular. More people are using React or similar virtual DOM frameworks; are these approaches incompatible with web components? And for smaller organisations and single developers, will there be a market in components? What standard will drive that?

Divs, nested divs and more nested divs… A pretty web UI with nasty markups is a big turn-off. Now with a new set of new W3C web platform primitives called Web Components, we can encapsulate UI and complex functionalities, just like packing data and functions into a single component, and restrict the access in object-oriented programming.

The first ever Polymer Summit in Amsterdam. Tune in as the Polymer Team shares best practices and exciting announcements, and talks about the past, present, and future of the framework.

Building components that can stand the test of time is tough! Frameworks change, new fads emerge, and often we're left with an aging codebase that needs to be rewritten if we want to stay current. Polymer and Web Components aim to change this cycle by building on new platform primitives which will allow us to finally create interoperable components that work in an environment.

The latest version of Polymer is fast and lean. Learn how teams at Google have successfully launched sites using Polymer and the latest platform APIs: Web Animations, Service Workers for offline and push notifications, and material design. And if you're new to Polymer we'll show you how to get started building mobile-first apps.
