I just came back from ng-conf2017 the biggest Angular event each year in Utah. I wanted to share some of the highlights with you. If you are into Angular it is the best conference I have been too and like a three-day party really. Figure: https://www.ng-conf.org/ home screen Highlights tech wise Angular is at version 4 and we should call it Angular with no version number and Angular 1 is now AngularJS ngrx state management tool is huge now and we should be using it for big projects https://github.com/ngrx The Angular CLI is huge and we should be using it cli.angular.io Also expect changes to this space as it is going to...

Kick off The event was sold out with 100 Angular devs. The event came to be after a call out from SSW's Adam Cogan on the internet seeing if anyone in Seattle wanted to run one of the Angular Hack Days we have run in Australia. The call out to the community was picked up by the Googlers on the Angular Protector team who came up with a great venue at Google HQ Seattle and GDG funded lunch (yum Mexican!) Broken Angular CLI Well not for long. Only 5hrs before the day began an Angular CLI update had a bug. With 100 people installing the Angular CLI it was excellent to see the Angular community rally and almost instantly find...
