-- Synchronizing form controls with the URL in Angular --
Reflecting UI state such as filters, pagination or sorting to the URL
can greatly improve user experience, reduce user annoyance and makes it easier to share or bookmark your website without any extra effort. But
what is necessary to achieve this using Angular, what are the problems
we need to solve and how can we avoid writing boilerplate code?

#2 Jens Habegger
-- NGRX Testing with Jest --
Testing is often considered one of the most important steps of Software Engineering. With each project we start off with the best of intentions - “This time I’ll take better care of my tests! I’ll be a good engineer!”. But let’s face it, two months, 7 features and countless changes in project requirements later, our code coverage is in the single digits and whatever remains of our tests is intermittently failing.

One of the main reasons for these kind of problems is that keeping your existing tests easy to update and maintain is a hard problem. This talk will demonstrate how maintaining your reducers, effects and components can be simplified using the Jest test runner and snapshot testing.
