We finished week 2 of the 9-week boot camp. This week was AngularJS week. We covered building the front-end of a Single Page App with the AngularJS framework. In particular, we covered topics such as client-side routing, making Ajax calls using the $http service and the $route factory, building custom AngularJS services, working with Google Maps, using Angular UI Bootstrap, and uploading files to services such as FilePicker.io. 

During the two-day event we will have more than 16 hours of content on subjects such as ASP.NET 5, .NET Core, C#, F#, Roslyn, debugging with VS2015, learnings from running large scale websites, and more! 

explore what's new in C# 8, as well as what we can expect in the near (and far) future of C#!
We'll talk about:
- News in C# 8
- Pattern Matching (incl. Record Types)

- x2.93 faster than Java’s Servlet (x7.76 faster than Servlet on Tomcat)
- x7.36 faster than Golang’s “net/http” package
- x8.06 faster than node.js running as a cluster of 28 processes (as node.js is single threaded)
