Chuck is at a conference this week. So, he is not here. We have with us Joe Eames.JOE: Hey everybody!JAMISON: Tim Caswell.TIM: Hello.JAMISON: And we have two special guests. I'm going to mangle your names, so I'm sorry. It’s Misko Hevery.MISKO: Misko Hevery. Yeah, thank you.JAMISON: Misko Hevery and Igor Minar?IGOR: Minar. Yeah.JAMISON: Great. You guys wanna introduce yourself really quick?MISKO: Sure. So, this is Misko Hevery, original creator of Angular.js.IGOR: Hi everybody! I'm Igor. I joined Misko about 2 years ago on this venture of creating better browser and better environment for creating client-side applications.JAMISON: And if you can’t tell, we are going to talk about Angular.js this week. So, I know it is kind of a Google project now. Did it start out that way?MISKO: It started out with something I was working on and eventually I've open sourced it at a product with Google internal application and just gotten such a rave reviews and new features that people actually says, “Hey why don’t you work on this full time and turn in on to a real product?” So, that's how it’s started.JAMISON: Oh, wow. So, there’s actually a team in Google who are working on Angular as their job?MISKO: Yeah.IGOR: Yes.JAMISON: That's awesome.IGOR: It’s just two of us here now, but we have a bunch of other people working full time on Angular.js and also main contributors--JAMISON: Oh, go ahead sorry.IGOR: There is a team behind Angular.js.JAMISON: Do you think you can give an overview and kind of a comparison to contrast Angular to some of the other MVC frameworks that people like before you? I mean, Backbone I guess is what most people know.  So, what makes Angular different from Backbone? How does it work?MISKO: So, I have never used Backbone besides it’s framework. But, my understanding is that Backbone is basically you have declare model and then launch on changes on its mode. And the way it does so is that there is a model class object. And whenever you modify the models that use special getters and setters methods, the Backbone know about the changes. So, this is pretty different from Angular because we don’t require you to inherit from anything. We have special getters and setters. Basically, any JavaScript object can be a model. So, that’s one big difference.JAMISON: But you can still observe the changes on objects like that?MISKO: Right.Special Guests: Igor Minar and Miško Hevery.
