As An ng-conf Virtual Attendee...
/This past Thursday and Friday, Google held a public conference for all things AngularJS. I'm sure you've noticed lately that I've been a bit of a fan of it, especially the more I play around with what it all has to offer.
Luckily, the fine folks who put on the conference decided to stream it as it was going on. Awesome! I got to catch a few of the sessions. Though, it's not the same as actually attending as I couldn't meet all the great people and speakers there, watching the live stream is the next best thing.
I didn't get to see all of the sessions yet (they have all been uploaded), but here are the ones I have seen that seemed to stand out:
- Before any of the sessions, the two keynotes are a must watch first
- Miško Hevery and Brad Green - The past and future of AngularJS
- Igor Minar - The AngularJS community
- AngularJS in 20ish Minutes - Dan Wahlin's AngularJS in 60ish Minutes video is what got me started in AngularJS.
- Filters Beyond OrderBy and LimitTo - Interesting look at AngularJS filters. The performance of this looks amazing!
- Zones - Doesn't seem like much to run all async code in a "zone", but this definitely has some good uses.
- Using AngularJS to Create Mobile Applications with PhoneGap - Even web developers can create mobile applications!
In total, I'm glad I was able to catch what I could of the live stream and hope that next time I can be able to join in person. I hope at some point I can be able to contribute something to help make everyone's life easier with AngularJS.
