Real-life projects: examples

https://github.com/hypery2k/angular_cordova_app

Real-life projects: generalization

N-tiers: data, services, client...Multi-targets: Cloud, RCP, Web, Mobile Hybrid, Mobile Native...Dev/Ops: Code, deployment, Vms/Containers...Polyglot: Java, JavaScript, SQL, .dockerfiles,...Multi-frameworks: Java EE, AngularJS, Android, Cordova...Multi build/dependency tools: Maven, NPM, Bower, Grunt...Replaceable/Moveable components: Android/Native ↔ Cordova, Spring ↔ Java EE, Java EE ↔ Node.js...

TL;DR: Modularity and multiple technologies
