Asim told us 3 hacker break-in stories that based on simple things.

Story1: Github story

git hook to localhost -> http://0:9200/_shutdown -> http://0:email -> memcache -> deprecated python library

moral: don’t underestimate small things

Story2: Equifax

moral: use latest versions of your software to be sure that there are no known vulnerabilities

Story3:

About cross-env fake npm package

moral: don’t trust npm by default, there are fake npm packages.

Todd Motto – Angular Architecture: From Patterns to Implementation. (video)

Todd tried to show an example of real-world objects and their communication to describe Redux(or ngRx) logic and high-level component/modules architecture.

Quite inspiring one!

From the beginning, I have a feeling that it was a paid talk from a sponsor.

  • ionic uses customElements (the same as Angular Elements)
  • need to have a look at stenciljs (it’s still unclear after the talk)
  • lazy loading on component level

Sven Sauleau – Let’s compose JavaScript and Reason (video)

It was quick intro with simple examples of Reason power over types. If you are about to start with Reason I strictly recommend to watch this talk.

Mashhood Rastgar – Rapid prototyping using Angular and Firebase (video)

Mashhood was showing a live coding doing a twiter clone with Firebase: database and auth. The whole app to create and deploy took him only 12min!  If you want to start working with Firebase services check the video.

Jen Looper – Boost Your App’s Emotional Intelligence with NativeScript, Angular and Machine Learning (video)

IMHO, the most inspiring talk of the conference. It was a combination of IoT, AI, and NativeScript.

After this talk, I already want to buy some IoT sensors and start building NativeScript to manage them.
