Talks:

• Building a dynamic SPA by Filip Bruun Bech-Larsen

So.. we really wanna use the new shiny angular, we want to build a Single-Page-Application so we can animate page-transitions, but we still want the CMS to control routes and templates (we have many and they change all the time). We also want the CMS-editor to be in control of the pages content and render unknown rows of dynamic content. How can we remain this level of flexibility while compiling our templates Ahead-Of-Time (AOT).

In this walk we will follow the thought- and working process, trial and errors and end up with a working solution. It will be lots of options with pros/cons, some live-coding, tradeoffs and will end up with a GitHub repository for everyone to go home and clone.

• Keep It Simple by Peter Lindsey

After you have played around with Angular you might have been faced by the challenge of managing the state of your application. Managing the state of an application can quickly become messy and complex.

In this talk we’re going to take a look at how Redux can help us solving these kind of problems in a scalable way.

We’re going to look at angular-redux (AKA ng2-redux) with some powerful middlewares.

• The web in an era of smart devices by Kenneth Christiansen

The improvements in size, features and price of hardware has ushered new opportunities in creating small, smart devices (aka internet-of-things) which can be integrated in homes and industries. In these places, the devices can help automate common tasks, as well as give information about the state of things, such as temperature of a machine, air quality etc.
