skipped ?
@angular/core 2.x.y
@angular/compiler 2.x.y
@angular/http 2.x.y
@angular/router 3.x.y
Misalignment of the router package version

@angular/core 4.x.y
@angular/compiler 4.x.y
@angular/http 4.x.y
@angular/router 4.x.y

11. Predictable, transparent &
incremental evolutions
● Patch version every week
● Minor version every month
● Major version every 6 months

12. Typescript
◇ Typed Javascript
12
ES6
ES5
Compatibility
◇ Syntax similar to Java
Classes, inheritance, decorators, interfaces, etc
◇ Avoid runtime errors as much as possible
◇ ES6 features compiled into ES5
◇ Documentation

13. Web components
13
◇ A component has it’s own :
App
Comp 1 Comp 2
Comp 3 Comp 4
- Style (.css | .less | .sass)
◇ Angular app → component tree
- Template (.html)
- Logic (.ts)
Comp 4
◇ Reuse components

14. Focus on performance

16. Focus on performance
16
◇ Split your code by modules
(good practice)
◇ Load only the modules you need
when you need them
◇ Nice on desktop
Must have for tablets and mobiles
Lazy loading made easy !

28. Angular ecosystem
◇ Cli
◇ Material
◇ Mobile kit
◇ Universal
◇ Protractor
https://cli.angular.io
https://material.angular.io
https://mobile.angular.io
https://universal.angular.io
https://protractor.angular.io
28

29. Angular Cli
◇ Start a new project < 3mn
◇ Same footprint, easier to operate on ≠ projects
◇ Webpack : Import, export, build for production
◇ Generate components, services, modules, etc
◇ Livereload, Sass, Less
29

30. Angular Material
◇ Material components ready to use
◇ API to interact with them (in and out)
◇ Ready for production but not every
components available yet
30

31. Angular Mobile
◇ Keep the discoverability of the web
◇ Automatic Progressive Web Apps
◇ App Shell, Service Worker, Application Manifest
Ex : https://ng2-weather-pwa2.firebaseapp.com
◇ Not ready yet with the CLI but integration on
the way
31

32. Angular Universal
◇ Better performance
◇ Render HTML at first paint
◇ Optimized SEO (Search Engine Optimization)
32

33. Angular Protractor
◇ Write actions to do in a browser like a user
would
◇ Make sure your final product is working well at
anytime
◇ Continuous integration : Check on every commit
33

34. State management
and
Data flow

34

35. RxJs Reactive Programming
Why you’ll love it !
◇ Think of your data as an event or
a stream :
They evolve over time
◇ Functional programming
◇ Great documentation
◇ More than 60 operators, just look
for what you need
What could go wrong ?
◇ Big learning curve
◇ Potential memory leaks if devs
don’t fully understand what
they’re doing

41. Conclusion
◇ It’s just Angular
◇ Typescript is a perfect replacement for Javascript
◇ Angular has better performance than AngularJs
especially on small devices
◇ Components for clarity and reusability
◇ Angular doesn’t come alone
Platform offers a huge boost for devs
Focus on business code
◇ Angular is stable and can be used in production
◇ Developers will the syntax, the architecture &
the ecosystem
◇ Lot of things to learn, lot of things to get in return
