Talk Details:

-From Gulp to Angular CLI and beyond

Gulp is a very powerful build tool for front end development which is commonly used in AngularJS applications. With the advent of Angular, a new tool has emerged to simplify building of web applications, the Angular CLI. It leverages the power of Webpack internally to create small and fast bundles.

In this talk, we will use Angular CLI to migrate an existing AngularJS application to Angular from the ground up. Initially we will bootstrap it as a hybrid application using ngUpgrade module. We will then start upgrading first services and then components. Finally, we will integrate the new Angular router and remove AngularJS completely from the project.

-Managing state in Angular apps with ngrx/platform

In large and complex applications where we need to coordinate multiple asynchronous tasks, concurrent data
modifications or complex component intercommunications, state management is a common and hard problem
which can be a headache. In the Angular ecosystem, a solution which can help us to make state management
less tough and painful is NgRx which brings the Redux patterns and principles to Angular using RxJS.

In this talk we will explore through a real world example how we can implement an application using NgRx,
when we should use it, the pros of working with immutable state in Angular. We will discuss the advantages
of integrating this solution and how it contributes to development and production phases and how can lead
to a more predictable and easy to understand codebase.

This meetup will be held in Greek! :)

See you all then!
