Building custom lightning components will be a required skills for salesforce developers in coming years .Whenever there will be need for building SPA (Single Page Applications) for Salesforce 1 ,using lightning components will be one of the architecture choice .
Although there are multiple frameworks that one could use which includes angular,backbone,ember etc but lightning is from salesforce and uses aura framework hence it will be really good candidate to consider for building SPA applications .
The aim of the blogpost is to share some useful resources on how I have gained some expertise around building lightning components .
If you are familiar with javascript framework or at least have hands on experience with one of them ,your learning curve for lightning components will be pretty small.If you don't have none or never worked on Javascript ,you may like to go through some of javascript course and get yourself up to speed.
The key point to understand will be while building lightning components the javascript code will follow event driven pattern .Each component can emit events and other components listen to different events and perform server side logic .You will find minimal server side calls will be made and rest of Dom manipulation will happen with client side javascript controller and javascript helper .
Lets take a look at various resources that helped me to learn lightning components
