Keynote: The status of Angular
What is the current status of the Angular framework? What new features are there in the latest version and on the roadmap? Let's have a bird-eye view of the framework to make informed technical decisions, to make sure that we use the latest best practices, and to look into the future of our Angular projects with confidence.

NoSQL Data Modeling for Front-end Developers
Data modeling is the process of figuring out how data should be represented and stored in your software system. Effective data models must balance between application needs, database performance characteristics and the structure of the data itself. But why would you care about data modeling if you’re an Angular developer? Well, understanding how data flows through your application, will help you consume your backend API in a more efficient way. In this talk, we’ll go through the basics of data modeling - from identifying relationships and cardinalities, to handling staleness and duplication. We’ll be discussing the data modeling methodology in the context of MongoDB, a NoSQL document database.

Create Smart Angular Apps Using Azure Computer Vision
We will create an optical character recognition (OCR) application using Angular and the Azure Computer Vision Cognitive Service. Computer Vision is an AI service that analyses content in images. We will use the OCR feature of Computer Vision to detect the printed text in an image. The application will extract the text from the image and detects the language of the text. This app will support 25 different languages.

Betterer: Incremental Improvement
If you’re working on a project that has been around for a while, chances are there’s a few cobwebs 🕸 on some parts of your codebase that make you cringe… This is a totally normal part of the natural growth of an application. But how can we improve our software and correct past mistakes in a sustainable way, and without massively blowing out the scope? 🤔 Let’s discuss an incremental approach to dealing with mature codebases! We will take some ideas from genetic 🧬 algorithms and micro-service architectures, and combine them with code analysis and snapshot 📸testing, and look at a pragmatic, evolutionary approach to codebase health and maintenance.

The best way to Architect Your Angular Libraries
In this talk we're going to explore how to architect Angular libraries with the help of sub-entries so that our consumers can benefit from the smallest possible bundle size and our teammates from great developer experience when adding additional components and services to the library itself!

Destructuring frontend monoliths with Microfrontends
From loading Ajax requests in browsers to have full-blown frameworks; Javascript has come a long way. While moving stuff from backend to frontend the problems of backend are also ported. The Bigger the code gets bigger the problems, more dependencies, harder maintainability, eventually all the problems of a huge monolith. With Microfrontends, we can break this monolith into smaller independent, maintainable apps. Sounds good? Let’s see how in this talk.

Kate Sky
CSA Technologies Inc founder
Kate SkyI am a full-stack developer with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in front-end development using Angular platform. I am a founder of CSA Technologies Inc, which allows me to empower companies with my consulting work. I am also a mother of 5 remarkable children. My expertise in the industry has been motivating me to share my knowledge with other mothers. I have seen a real change over the years in the IT sector, with more women joining the programming teams. There is a significant demand for mentors who can empower and teach new programmers to navigate this sector. There is an abundance of technical knowledge on the internet but a lack of interpersonal relationships building tools. My goal is to empower women to code and to have a fulfilling career while raising a family. In 2021 I started running a free weekly workshop where I teach how to get started with Angular.
