ng-sydney March 2016 - Ionic 2 UI Router Office Development

This month we were so lucky :)

We are having a big variety of topics, and variable length sessions. We even have more bookings for the following month from those who couldn't confirm on time.

We'll show some best practices for the most popular Angular router yet, UI-Router.
We'll talk about Office development in JavaScript!
And we'll jump into the future and have a sense of Ionic 2.

RSVPs

As always, please help us have a successful meetup by following these:

1. RSVP quick if you are coming so we can plan the seats / pizza / drinks

2. And update your RSVP status to "No" if you can't make it, so others waiting can fill the spot. Don't make them miss out - really.

These are MORE IMPORTANT when the event page comes up late, as not many people get the chance to RSVP.

SESSIONS

-- ui-router: Basics To Best-Practice (By Ben H.)

Ui-router basics, application structure, named views, state lifecycle, cross-cutting concerns, best practice.

Not exhaustive but should have something for everyone.

-- Building Office Add-In with Angular and Yeoman Generator (By John Liu)

Microsoft has been working hard on the current generation of Office applications and they all support the new Office Add-In model where a traditional COM Add-In can now be written as a web application, using technology like AngularJS that web developers are already familiar with.

In this quick demo and discussion of building Office Add-In with Angular and Yeoman, we cover the basics to spin up an add-in for Office, and then dive deeper with authenticating and calling back to Office 365 and the Microsoft Graph APIs.

-- Ionic 2, the journey continues.. (By Sam. Gayan)

What is hybrid mobile application development (quick overview)
What is ionic (quick overview)
Ionic2 new features / Whats being removed from ionic2
Mapping your Angular2 knowledge with Ionic2. - Ionic tool chain

-- Open Talk Session: Questions And Answers

For those new to the group, we usually have a session for everyone to discuss and share news and valuable information, as we only have one or two formal sessions during the night, and about 50% or so stay till 9:00 PM.

This time it's a packed night. We don't expect many to stay around after the 8:30 session is over, but if you do stay, we'll have fun talking about new learning resources, and asking and answering questions from everyone to everyone.
