Angular — My picks from ng-conf 2017
Awesome talks, slides and other useful resources
In this blog post I want to share some of the talks I followed on the live stream by giving a brief overview and providing some additional resources.
One of the best places to catch up with Angular is probably by following conferences like ng-conf happening all over the world. You can check angular.io to find out other Angular events coming near you.
This year ng-conf celebrated their 4th edition. This is the original Angular conference gathering developers of all sorts during a whole week in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Disclaimer: this is a very small an incomplete list of talks. Find all available videos from this year here.
