Tools of the trade for Angular developers

Your development tools are probably the most important part to deliver great applications (not considering coffee…). On the other hand, as a developer you want to focus on writing application logic, without having to bother about the tooling. In this demo-packed session, we’ll show you how to setup your Angular development environment, such that it improves your development cycle rather than getting in your way. We’ll cover topics such as TypeScript, Visual Studio Code and Azure.
