" summary

Explains why single‑page apps move work to the client for faster, more interactive UIs and why that prompts use of frameworks like React, Angular or Ember; notes corporate sponsorships (Facebook for React, Google for Angular) and community roots (Ember from the Ruby community). Describes using React plus Flux to build and deploy the Wish You Were Here app on Heroku, and tackles the initial‑load tradeoff by recommending universal rendering (server render then hand off to the client).
