🌎 Wrapping It Up with Decorators
👤 Nicole Oliver
As Angular developers we use decorators every day -- from class decorators such as @Component, @Module, and @Directive, to property decorators like @Input and @Output. These little accessories to our code can be powerful mechanisms for keeping our applications simple and easy to understand.

👤 Kim Maida
Authentication can be a daunting topic for many developers, including those of us working in the landscape of web apps. How does cookie-based authentication work? How does token-based authentication work? Don’t store tokens in local storage!?

I’ll also talk about the tools the Angular platform provides out of the box to make adding authentication and protecting routes easier for the developer.
