Some slides I put together about some differences between Reacts eco system and Angular2. Hopefully you can use this information and links to help you decide what framework/ecosystem is best for you.

1. OR
Components
Flux
Modules
Unidirectional flow
ES6/ES7
Redux
Transcompiler
Virtual Dom

2. Legacy Front-end problems
VM

Coupled architecture
Application state issues
Impure (buggy)
Lack of reuse across teams
Lack of design
Developer skills are dated
HTML

3. Decoupled architecture
Composition architecture
Uni-directional flow
Pure
Reuse (Components)
FE Architecture
New patterns
Front-end Future

4. Can they be compared?

5. Components
ES6/ES7/Modules
Opinionated from start
Everything in the box (764k)
TypeScript (doesn't have to be ; highly recommend)
Beta - 22% into their release
Low number of people using in production?
HTML outside component
Hard integration model
Hard to build around business use cases
Huge learning curve
?
Key Differences
Components
ES6/ES7/Modules
Opinionated at pattern level
Lightweight (React + Redux 151k)
JavaScript
Version 15.0
High number of people using in production
JSX inside Component
Easier integration model
Easy to build around business use case
React is easy to learn. Ecosystem hard?
Virtual Dom and performance

6. Current versions
Launch in May at ngconf?
15.0

7. ?

8. Tools
Hot reloader
Enzyme

9. Code Examples
JSX (HTML) inside JS allows
us to utilise the power of JS
Angular has to have its own API
JS inside HTML….
*, ngFor, #
all seem unintuitive?
Just a map…
To read React
Just learn JavaScript
To read Angular
Learn angular syntax

10. Code Examples
Simple onClick
Angulars own API again
What does () and [] mean?
To read React
Just learn JavaScript
To read Angular
Learn angular syntax

11. Learning
]

12. What can React offer
Good Bad
Just JavaScript (enthesis on functional programming) Developers have to up skill in JavaScript
Simple API Ecosystem
Components Library based system
Major version Release High risk of churn
A lot of companies using it in production
Small (151k)
Uni-directional flow
Focus on minimising state change
Great workflow and supporting tools
Compile time feedback (Fails fast and explicitly)
Easy toTest Components
Can test againstVDOM
Puts HTML in JS
Easy integration with UI Framework
Pure > Inpure functions
Recommends functional programming
Scales
Flexable
Intuative
Performant (vDOM)
VDom offers 3-10x improvements in performance
Huge community

13. What can Angular2 offer
Good Bad
Typescript (Compile time errors, IDE support) Typescript
.net developers might like it (Typescript) Big learning curve (Have to learn another FW)
Provides framework out the box Non transferable skills?
Components Still in Beta (MajorVersion in May)
Opinionated Not a lot of people using in Production (yet)
4 x faster than Angular 1 Not very intuitive?
Huge improvement (rewrite) over Angular 1 Opinionated
VDom offers 3-10x improvements in performance Cant drop into existing projects
Access to ES6/ES7 functionality Size (760k)
Embrace the Web Component standard Puts JS inside HTML
Uses RxJS Fails slow? (Runtime vs compile time)
Low risk of churn Have to learn RxJS?
Community just starting
You have to relearn Angular

14. Some more…

15. Highlights
Simple easy API
Just have to learn JavaScript
Skills can be transferred
Multiple companies using it
.net developers might preferTypeScript
Provides framework out the box
Have to learn eco system
Risk of churn
Developers have to learn JS
Still in Beta
Skills are tied down (TS and Angular)
Ang1 1 doesn't mean you know Ang2
Devs have to learnTS and Angular
