Even with all of the incredible frameworks available today vs. a decade ago (or even two––for devs who have been around as long as I have), it still feels like much of our work as fullstack developers is still repetitive, and held together by duct tape code we shouldn’t be writing.  This is because we write a lot of duplicate and boilerplate code for everyday things such as simple database CRUD, data validation, authorization, and data-type conversions, but the majority of these tasks haven’t advanced at the pace of modern web architecture.  In this live coding session we'll turn an Angular app into a fullstack app with code that is easy to write, follow &, most importantly maintain, with end-to-end typesafety (say no to GraphQL!), consistent and encapsulated validations, live querying, access control, secured APIs, you get the idea.

RxJS has a flexible implementation comparing e.g. to RxJava, separating the operators from the observable object itself. This allows other developers to create their own operators and even publish them as third-party libraries. This is the case e.g. for the RxJSx library containing operators for dealing with arrays and tuples.In this talk, we will introduce the RxJS operators ecosystem, draw some examples from RxJSx to showcase how to use operators from a third-party library, and finally showcase how one can create their own operators.

Angular signals are a new feature that has the potential to revolutionize programming in Angular, but apart from the newness of this new approach, the extreme love of some or the intense rejection of others, what are they really useful for? Was it because the word "reactive" was attractive in a new feature or because it was a much-needed introduction to the world of Angular? Moreover, I will try to answer the most polarizing question after "Does pineapple go on pizza": will signals replace RxJs? In this talk, I will take you through the history of Angular's signals, from inception to creation to implementation, to understand what leads to their genesis. You will learn what signals are and how they work, and through real-world use cases, I will show you how you can use them, switching existing logic from observables to signals. I invite you to join me on this journey towards a new era of Angular to learn more about signals and how they can improve your Angular development experience.

As a speaker at the conference, I will take attendees on an exhilarating journey into the world of Angular, empowering them to master modern web development with this powerful framework.

Through this engaging session, participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to build robust, scalable, and high-performance web applications using Angular. Attendees will leave with a deeper understanding of Angular's capabilities, best practices, and the confidence to tackle complex web development projects.

Join us for an interview with one of our community partners. We'll be talking about the benefits of joining a tech community, how they can impact your technical knowledge, and even some funny stories from their meetups! We want to show how important tech communities are and encourage more developers to join these amazing groups!
