Recap of Angular 2 Road Trip–Gurgaon

To start with, I thank my employer Infragistics for all support in making these community events successful. We have awesome set of controls for your AngularJS 2, MVC, jQuery etc. application. Please download free trial of Ignite UI here

On 27^th Aug, I hosted second event of my Angular 2 Road Trip in Gurgaon.. Read more about AngularJS 2.0 here . This time, it was turn of city Gurgaon to show the love for Angular 2 and there were around 280-300 developers attended the event.

You might be wondering that why people are seating on the floor? because I had more attendees than expected. I thought there would be maximum 100- 130 people would join the event. But I was wrong, and around 300 people attended the event. There were no enough chairs for all 300 people, so we removed all the chairs from the hall such that everyone could be accommodated by seating on the floor. I must appreciate passion and learning attitude of each participants that they agreed to seat on the floor for 5-6 hrs. We all sat on the floor for the learning and love of AngularJS 2.0

In six hours I covered following topics,

Setting up development environment in VS Code
Understanding Bootstrapping
Understanding Modules
Understanding Components
Creating first component
Creating Service
Understanding Routing
Performing CRUD operations using http

I also covered basics of JavaScript functions, objects, and inheritance. Attendees were very much involved and fully participated. I used Dan Wahlin AngularJS 2.0 project from GitHub as the starter project and built application on top of that.

I was very motivated and aspired to do better seeing participations and passions of people, even though they were seating on the floor for whole days and many of them did not get lunch. I must each attendee for their support in successfully execution of the event.

I must also thank Microsoft India, specially Usha Rathnavel for her support in providing us hall, coffee/tea and lunch for the attendees on very short notice. Without her help this event was not possible.
