Description: Command robots with Angular and NativeScript mobile apps Speaker: Sebastian Witalec NativeScript is a free and open source JavaScript framework for building native iOS and Android apps. Add to that Angular with TypeScript and you will get a truly amazing combination. Then chip in some drones and robots with a BLE API and you are ready to rock. But I know what you’re thinking: another way of building apps? What makes NativeScript special? Here are a few cool things: • Direct access to native APIs—no plugins required. Want to create a file on Android? Run new java.io.File()—in JavaScript! • Completely native performance through the use of a JavaScript bridge natively available on all three mobile platforms. • Cross-platform libraries for common use cases. Need to call a JSON API? Run http.getJSON • Style native apps using CSS. Yep, that’s actually a thing. Curious about how it all works? Come learn! Robots will come to life. Bio: Sebastian Witalec is a Technical Evangelist for Progress/Telerik with over 8 years of experience in software engineering and architecture. Sebastian has passion for all types of technologies. However in the last few years his focus shifted towards cross platform Mobile development where he gained experience with Apache Cordova and NativeScript. He is always happy to learn about the new stuff and to pass the knowledge as far as his voice (or the wire) can take him. Sebastian is based in London, UK actively working with various Dev communities in the area. When not acting techie he is a massive football fan/player (probably bigger at heart than skills). Building Components in Isolation with Playground for Angular Speaker: Justin Schwartzenberger When we build apps with Angular we are building with components. The entire app is a component tree. While components on their own are a great way to modularize logic, markup and scripting, the composition that gets built out over time with the tree makes it difficult to create and manage new components when we have to bootstrap and navigate the whole app just to see our component in action. How can we leverage the benefit of modular components during the development cycle? Join us to see how Playground for Angular can help you build and maintain your Angular components (and directives and pipes too)! Bio: Justin Schwartzenberger is a seasoned full-stack web developer with a passion for teaching and helping others find success. He is currently working on building the future of screenplay writing at SoCreate, is the host of AngularAir, and author of several developer training courses including ones on Angular 2.0.0 and above. Justin is fueled by the passion of the Angular community and the joy of helping others.
