To start with Angular Directives we must first know what Google’s Angular team defines as directives, so I copied a little piece form their website and I’ll comment on that.
“At a high level, directives are markers on a DOM element (such as an attribute, element name, or CSS class) that tell AngularJS’s HTML compiler ($compile) to attach a specified behavior to that DOM element or even transform the DOM element and its children.”

Trifork was asked to develop a mobile app for crisis management in a “GRIP 1” crisis situation for Dutch municipalities.The users of the app are municipal employees involved during a crisis situation. The app was designed in co-creation with the involved municipal employees. But what is a crisis?
I attended the GOTO Amsterdam 2013 conference at the Beurs van Berlage. A nice coincidence happened to me while being there: I attended a talk which heavily promoted Firefox OS as a platform for mobile HTML5 development. Next thing I know, I win a Firefox OS phone at a trivia organized at a completely different talk!
To give you some background, Firefox OS allows you to build mobile applications using web technology (HTML, CSS and Javascript). There are already web standards, or about-to-be standards which allow a web app to access device specific functionality. For example, reading the orientation of the phone (http://dev.w3.org/geo/api/spec-source-orientation.html). The OS exposes many of these standards, so that an app developer can code features in Javascript which would be normally implemented using native code.
About a year ago I developed an Android app for my website, but as not everybody has an Android device I wanted to create a mobile version of my website. In the mobile version I want to present slightly different data to make it look more like the app. In this post I will show you how I have used Spring mobile to determine which version of the site the user wants to visit and how I used Sitemesh to select the correct decorator.
