Presentation Summaries

If you're using Angular2+ and building forms the way you've always built them, you're missing out on an amazingly powerful feature of the framework. Reactive forms (aka model-driven forms) allow you to build forms in the Javascript (or Typescript) file, making complex validation and error-handling a breeze. In this talk, we'll build a standard-but-tricky form from scratch in less than 10 minutes!

PrimeNg is a rich component library that you may have missed amidst the hype over Angular Material. Learn about how it can make your UI pop with feature-packed components that can be easily styled to fit your needs. From simple dropdowns to the amazingly powerful TurboTable, PrimeNg is a component library that might speed up your project development and offload a lot of that burden of trying to create that perfect component for any situation. Learn about the benefits (and a few cons) to working with this Angular tool.
