We are excited to present two new talks by Microsoft Developer Advocate and Angular enthusiast Simona Cotin. Both talks are packed with live coding and she even got in touch with the Edge workgroup to present us with the hottest news on PWAs.



# PWAs, are we there yet?!

Progressive web applications are the new hip and all the cool kids are on board. They are slowly becoming an industry standard for building web applications. With reliability, speed and immersive user experience in mind, PWAs help you reach a broader audience. But what are the gotchas? Let's explore some of the limitations we might encounter compared to native applications. Which traditionally native features are now available for PWAs to use and which are in development? All browsers are on the same page, supporting features like Service Workers is key but which are differences in API implementation and what bugs should we be aware of? After this session you'll walk away with a clear idea on which is the current state of PWAs, its limitations as well as its strengths.



# Code and Deploy Angular to the Cloud

Getting started with Angular is now easier than ever... said no one ever. Yet with the right toolset, we too can create magic. When I code with Angular I can deploy to Azure within minutes. We'll go through a simple development to production workflow. First, we code with a little help from the Angular CLI. Then we build for production - Webpack to the rescue. We then push our code to Github and deploy it on Node to Azure. Mission accomplished, the application is now up in the cloud!
