A Componentized Frame of Mind

[misscs]

Components! Components! Component! All the rage. There seems to be unanimous accord that this is the direction the web should be moving. But it doesn't take a new technology for us to adopt a component based frame of mind. In fact, it's a bummer that it took web components to get us to start thinking about encapsulation.

In this talk, we'll look at how you can adopt and implement a component based of mind sans having to resort to Polymer, X-tags, polyfills or frameworks like ReactJS. All you need is a solid HTML templating, Sass, JSON, and some JS.

We already have all the tools.

We'll cover:

• Sass + JSON Oh my!
• Not all
  's are created equal. Power of HTML templating (for different systems: Python, Ruby/Rails, and Node)
• File/Directory structure (with some sprinkling of build tools to get the job done)
• Letting go (of "best" practices, engrained practices) and learning to question (everything)

This is neither a talk on web components nor about building web components with Polymer, X-Tags, Bionic, Brick etc.

@misscs are you targeting this for CSSConf or something more JS-savvy? Sounds awesome by the way!
