Single-Page Applications (SPAs) are most often associated with a fluid web experience due to the lack of interruptions caused by consecutive page loading from a server observed in traditional multi-page websites. The goal of this session is to present an overview of the features in Progress Sitefinity CMS that enable you to efficiently create single-page apps at a fast pace. The session will also include a hands-on demo showing how to apply the presented material in practice.
