This document summarizes a presentation about building Angular frontends with a Joomla backend. It introduces Techjoomla and Tekdi Technologies, which have over 50 developers building Joomla extensions and custom software. They have created several key products for Joomla, including e-learning, event booking, and donation systems. The presentation explains why developers want to use modern frontend frameworks like Angular with Joomla, and how their solution uses Joomla's API and plugins to integrate Angular apps with Joomla user management, content like articles and categories, and third party extensions. It demonstrates this integration by showing demos of user and article management apps built with Angular and Joomla.
