Brewing Angular Signal Potions: A Developer's Guide to Halloween Magic
Chris Perko - Senior Engineer at HeroDevs
Let's brew up some fun with Angular Signals! We will use signals to refactor and add features to an existing app. This talk will give an overview of the new Angular reactive primitives that are currently in developer preview. We will also look at Signal Effects, and how they work. But watch out! There's an overlooked rule about how effects trigger that may leave you scratching your head trying to figure out why it's not working correctly! Bring your laptop and code along!
Build and Deploy: React Progressive web app to Firebase
Deepa Subramanian - Software Engineer | React Angular JavaScript TypeScript NodeJS API | Google Developer Expert | WTM Ambassador
In this talk, the learners will come to know how to create a React application and make it into a progressive web app by registering using a service worker. Run an audit using Lighthouse. The learners will also learn how to deploy the app using Firebase. A small demo will be used to make sure the attendees can easily understand.
Embracing Performance and Modernity: Unveiling Angular's Evolution in v14 and Beyond
Loiane Groner - Software Engineering Manager • Published Author • Google Developer Expert • Microsoft MVP
The Angular framework has undergone a transformative journey, revolutionizing performance, and developer experience, making it one of the most powerful tools for web development. With the recent introduction of Standalone Components in Angular v14 and Signals in Angular v16, the framework has taken significant strides in enhancing its capabilities.
Moreover, we'll delve into the thrilling realm of proposed enhancements, such as the Built-in Control Floe and Deferred Loading, which are currently under community discussion. Join us as we envision the code of the future, where Angular evolves into a modern, dynamic framework. We'll provide practical insights and demonstrations, illustrating how your projects will benefit from adopting these innovative features. Be prepared to embrace the next generation of Angular development and embark on a journey towards more efficient, performant, and delightful web applications.

Let's build an app quickly with Qwik!
Deepa Subramanian
"Qwik is a new framework for building web UIs. We will cover some rendering techniques and explore a few of Qwik’s APIs. Finally, the attendees will learn how Qwik makes applications resumable by using Qwikloader, QRL, and more. We will see a demo at the end!
Making state management intelligent
David Khourshid - Founder at Stately
Managing state is complicated. Humans are even more complicated. As developers, it's our job to deliver seamless and intuitive user experiences, but the sheer complexity of human behavior and the real world can make this a daunting task. In this talk, we'll explore a radical new approach to app development where language models (LLMs) and reinforcement learning (RL) can be used to handle app logic in a more intelligent and human-centric way. We're bringing artificial intelligence to state management in ways that go much, much further than existing methods. You will learn how you can leverage AI in your existing code to create the best UX possible, and peer into the future of AI and the path to AGI.
NGRX Component-Store to the Rescue!
Chris Perko
Managing state can be a complicated task and bloat your components. Component-Store is a great tool to handle this, without needing all the redux-style boilerplate of NGRX State. This talk will cover the basics of Component-Store, and we will refactor a component, making it more declarative and easier to maintain.
The Dangers of ChatGPT
Jeff Ammons - Software Architect at Electronic Arts (EA)
"AI is all the rage at the moment. It will either save the earth or destroy it, depending on which reports you read.
Like all technology, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. In this talk I'll share some of both the benefits and potential dangers of generative AI solutions like ChatGPT. We'll look at examples where ChatGPT was helpful, misleading, or downright dangerous.
I'll also talk about the potential effects on our industry and civilization as a whole."
Unity is Not Fun for Web Designers; Needle.tools to the Rescue!
Ed Cross - Sr UX Designer / Lead
I'll present reasons why Unity is frustrating for beginners in general but web designers/ developers especially so and how Needle.tools helps this. My presentation will go over specific pain points in the Unity interface that makes it tough to get started with it. The context is 3D/XR for web and how it can be easier to get started creating experiences.
Blazor vs Angular: Which to Choose?
Michael Rosario - Senior Software Engineer at Design Interactive, Inc.
Javier Carrion - Angular Software Engineer at Design Interactive, Inc.
As web developers, we love having a responsive and reactive component model that we find in Angular. ASP.NET Core Blazor, the new kid in town, tries to match many of the benefits of modern SPA frameworks while appealing to C# developers. In this session, we'll put Angular and Blazor into a boxing match and see who will win. :) We'll explore the pros and cons of Blazor WASM, the web assembly approach, and the code reuse strategy.
