Building Real-Time Apps With Firebase And AngularJS

Firebase, the newest addition to Google Cloud, is a real time application platform. It’s a NoSQL-JSON database in the cloud, to and from which data is synchronized in milliseconds. Firebase seamlessly syncs with the local cache of data on user devices which means apps remain responsive even when the network connection is slow or unreliable.

Firebase includes a rich set of libraries for all major web and mobile platforms (including iOS, Android, and REST) as well as bindings and framework libraries for BackboneJS, EmberJS, and AngularJS, making applications easy to develop and deploy.

In this talk, we will walk through building an application that leverages 3-way data binding using AngularJS with Firebase. We will also look at some of the other powerful features of Firebase such as an OAuth login service to authenticate users (via Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Github, and Email), as well as a flexible and declarative security system for your data.
