Angular workflow in WebStorm by Ekaterina Prigara (https://twitter.com/katyaprigara)
In this talk we'll have a look at how WebStorm, the JavaScript IDE, can help building an Angular app. We'll go through creating a new Angular project using Angular CLI, navigating around in it, adding and refactoring the code, testing the app with Karma and debugging it in the IDE.

Angular Material Updates by Paul Gschwendtner (https://twitter.com/DevVersion)
A short update of what's going on within Angular Material. Quick overview of new components that have been released recently. Introduction to the on-going development of Angular's Component Development Kit.
The new Angular Component Development Kit (CDK) is a set of utilities that you can use to write awesome Angular components with ease (still in progress)
The CDK will provide services, directives and components (extracted out of Angular Material) to help you build advanced components that can be:
- accessible
- multi directional (RTL)
- interactive (keyboard, gestures, etc..)
- floating panels (dialogs, overlay, toasts, etc..)
- and more!

Observables vs. Promises in Angular services by Zlatko Đurić
Angular 2 brought Observables into the built-in http module instead of Promises. But at first, I've just converted anything from $http.get() to a Promise. Now, with a year or so in production, I've switched back to Observables, and in this talk I want to show what I find better, what is worse, and ultimately, that Observables version now wins.
About Zlatko
A Node.js dev working mostly on backend systems and very rarely client-facing apps. Because of that, as a rule I get to do the "non-important" backoffice (inhouse) dashboards. And what better tool for doing all those dashboards than Angular?
