Becoming Betazoid (having empathy), plus Client-Side storage in AngularJS

Becoming Betazoid - How to tap into your inner empathetic self by Joe Eames Listening and empathy are things that we all sort of hand wave about. Most people think that empathy is something you have to be born with. When it comes to communication, we might think we’re good listeners, yet find that some of our relationships at work and even at home are suffering and we don’t know why. Listening and empathy are skills that anyone can develop, and they can benefit not only you, but those you interact with, and even the bottom line of your company. There are fewer things that make work more unbearable than difficult relationships. In this session I will show exactly what empathy is, and show you how to develop this trait to turn you into a great listener, which will help strengthen the bonds with those you spend your weekdays with.

A Simple Pattern for Client-Side Storage in AngularJS by Jordan Last Client-side persistent storage is vital to many mobile applications, and is becoming increasingly useful in web applications. Usually persistent storage is database-driven, but interfacing directly with database APIs can lead to confusing and unmaintainable code. Various design patterns and libraries have emerged over the years to deal with database access. We'll explore a simple pattern for client-side persistent storage with an implementation in AngularJS that leverages unique features of Angular and JavaScript. https://github.com/lastmj/base-jumpers-anonymous === Workfront is hiring experienced Software Engineers http://workfront.com/open-positions/
