Demystifying Angular's Change Detection: Unveiling the Magic Behind Dynamic UI Updates
Rainer Hahnekamp, GDE

In Angular's zoneless future, mastering change detection is essential. We've all witnessed seemingly magical UI updates when modifying properties. This talk peels back the curtain, explaining how Angular detects and reflects changes.

Beyond "Change Detection," terms like "dirty checking," "OnPush," and "Signals" often emerge. We'll explore each piece, providing a comprehensive picture that prepares you for Angular's evolution.

Bye Bye passwords - Passkeys for Developers
Martina Kraus, GDE
In the digital age, the shift towards a passwordless future is coming, with passkeys leading the charge. This talk introduces developers to passkeys, a secure and user-friendly authentication alternative to traditional passwords, leveraging public-key cryptography.

We'll explore how passkeys enhance security, prevent phishing, and improve user experience by storing credentials locally and simplifying authentication processes. The session covers practical implementation strategies using the Web Authentication API (WebAuthn), addressing the transition challenges and compatibility issues. Let’s embrace the future of digital security and learn how to integrate passkeys into your applications, paving the way for a safer, seamless online experience.
