Reusable Components in Angular: Design patterns, transclusion, and more
Speakers: Rachael L Moore and Kara Erickson (bios below)

Forget CSS frameworks -- distributable components combining HTML, CSS, and JavaScript are going to change code sharing across websites. However, web component specifications are still in progress and full adoption relies on using polyfills for evolving and much-debated native features. Fortunately, there is another way to leverage the components paradigm while we wait...

Here comes Angular to the rescue! With Angular directives and services, we are able to implement fully featured UI components without web component polyfills. We will share how we are building these UI components, their advantages in general over CSS frameworks and even some benefits that make them likely to live even in the era of web components.

Functional Programming in Angular 2
Speaker: Victor Savkin of the Angular team

Functional programming techniques are often used for controlling and localizing side-effects, which results in applications that are easier to understand and maintain. Although it is possible to use functional programming in Angular 1.x, it is not very elegant and requires a lot of discipline. Angular 2 changes the situation.
