This talk will guide you through web security best practices and the most common security mistakes. During 55 minutes, Frans will give you a hands-on toolkit on how to integrate security in your everyday workflow, mixed with thrilling examples of his own security findings.

When you start building Angular applications, you generally go from "WTF"" to "this is pretty cool and useful" very fast. Unfortunately, you also tend to go on to "damn, this is messy", "oh, I wonder how I am going to test this" and "why do I spend so much time debugging stupid mistakes", in a fairly short time. Luckily, there are ways to get around this, and stay at "Angular makes me so productive".

In this talk, you will see some things you can do to make the code easier to work with, easier to test and less prone to simple mistakes. Things that the speaker, Chris Klug, has learnt over the last couple of years, while working with Angular projects for clients. Big and small tips from the real world. Tips that can hopefully make you more productive and alleviate some of the common problems that arise while building applications with Angular.

We all like building and deploying cloud applications. But what happens once that’s done? How do we know if our application behaves like we expect it to behave? Of course, logging! But how do we get that data off of our machines? How do we sift through a bunch of seemingly meaningless diagnostics? In this session, we’ll look at how we can keep track of our Azure application using structured logging, AppInsights and AppInsights analytics to make all that data more meaningful.

What’s it going to take to convince you to build your next single-page app (SPA) on ASP.NET Core instead of Node.js? Our goal is to make ASP.NET Core the most productive, most flexible, and best performing cross-platform server-side web technology for hosting modern Angular / React / Knockout / etc apps. In this talk, I’ll demonstrate how you can:

• Seamlessly integrate your server-side code with your client-side code
• Code faster: Have your development-time server automatically rebuild TypeScript/LESS/etc in realtime as you edit code, and use Hot Module Replacement (HMR) to sync those updates into your pages instantly without reloading or losing state
• Boost performance and SEO: Enable server-side prerendering of your Angular2/React components, and optimise the delivery of JavaScript/CSS to the browser
• Use advanced client-side debugging features thanks to tie-ins with Redux and Webpack
• Use features from any NPM

If you ever had a hang, performance issue, memory leak, crash or cryptic exception in a .NET application that you couldn’t fix, this session is meant for you. We will look at strategies and tools to troubleshoot and debug these types of issues.

Microsoft’s biggest web platform is now open source and cross platform. Most of the demo’s shown are using Microsoft’s flagship Visual Studio product. In this talk I’ll show you how to use their lighter weight (but cross platform) Visual Studio Code to build a sample ASP.NET Core project. You’ll learn both ASP.NET Core as well and Visual Studio Code.
