Garage to Global

Technology, music, and accessibility

Technology has ushered in an era of accessibility for the arts. Dictionary.com describes accessibility as easy to approach, reach, enter, speak with, or use. Of the arts, music in particular has been a key beneficiary of tech tools and services. Production applications and distribution networks that were once exclusive and expensive are readily available to novices and experts alike. Apple’s GarageBand application and distribution services, like Spotify, offer affordable, global access to high-quality recording and distribution.

React in an Angular World

React and Angular often come up in the same conversations and there are often comparisons between the two. A shallow dive into the documentation will expose notable differences and quickly demonstrate why they might belong in separate discussions.

According to Wikipedia, Angular exists "to address many of the challenges encountered in developing single-page applications." Brad Green, a Google engineering director, says that 1.3 million developers use AngularJS and 300 thousand are already using the soon to be released Angular 2. It is a widely accepted and utilized framework. Angular has been described as an MVC Framework with two-way data binding.
