Presentation
Angular for backend developers
Front-end development has evolved massively. New tools, libraries and frameworks are released every day. But how do you keep up with this as a backend developer? Which frameworks should you learn, and where do you get started? Angular is without doubt one of the most popular frameworks for building modern web front-ends. And most of its concepts are not that far off from everything we now from the backend world. Take TypeScript for example - you now can write proper typed code in the browser!
In this fast-paced session, I'm sharing my experience as a backend developer with developing Angular applications. I'll explain all about tools like npm, RxJS, Sass, Karma, Protractor and compare them to their counterparts in the backend ecosystems. I'll start with an empty IDE and live code my way to a working Angular application connected to a backend, sharing lots of tips, insights and gotcha's. After this session, you'll know enough about Angular to get started right away!
