Talk: Auth and Database as a Service with Angular2 and Firebase

Speaker: Scott Wittrock, Product at Zift Solutions

Brief: Building and validating an idea quickly continues to grow in importance. One way to quickly get an idea up and running is to utilize third party tools to perform common tasks.

This presentation will cover the basics of setting up a minimally viable web app utilizing Firebase, Angular2 and using a UI framework (Bootstrap4, Materilize, or Material Designs).

The focus will be on setting up and configuring Firebase with Angular2 to include Authentication and data storage. The MVP app that we will build will list events that have been added by an admin. The data for the events will be stored in Firebase. Only approved authenticated users will be able to post new events.

Talk: Building a Slack Bot with Node.js

Speaker: Brandon Mathis, SmashingBoxes

Slack Apps have exploded in popular with the introduction of Slack’s new App Store. In this talk, I will walk you through the process that I went through while building a Slack weather bot, Forecast, from scratch using Express, Slack’s OAuth API, as well as Slack’s RTM API.

I will go in-depth into architectural decisions that I made to create a Slack app that has simple one-click install, communicates with darksky.net, as well as the process for submitting and app of this nature to the Slack App Store. We will go over lessons learned, why I chose to not go with an establish “Slack Bot Framework,” and how you too can make a simple slack bot in less than 100 lines of code!
