Nx Conf — September 16th & 17th

Nx Conf is just around the corner and the agenda is now live on the conference website.

Nx Conf is a new, online & free-to-attend, 2-day conference featuring members of the Nx team and community. Join us as we share our ideas and expertise about making development faster, more scalable, and more collaborative.

The agenda features…

  • A keynote from Nrwl co-founders, Jeff Cross and Victor Savkin
  • A live panel with the Nx team
  • Lightning talks from the community and some of our sponsors
  • Talks from the Nx community and team covering a range of subjects including: Microfrontends, Nx Devkit, Design Systems for enterprise, Nx Cloud, ESLint, and more!

Nx Conf will be online September 16th -17th. Register for free on Tito!

Nx Conf Workshop: Develop at Scale with Nx Monorepos

In addition to the conference, there will be a 2-day workshop on September 14th and 15th on How to Develop at Scale with Nx Monorepos, presented by members of the Nx Core Team.

Workshop registration is $800 per attendee. In these two days, Nrwl architects will cover the breadth of tools and techniques needed for any tech lead or individual contributor to be successful working in an Nx workspace.

Check out the full details of the workshop on the Nx Conf page.

Talks to look forward to at Nx Conf…

Go-To-Market with Nx
Presented by Jason Jean
Does a startup really need a tool like Nx from Day One? Let’s take a look at Nx through the eyes of a startup trying to ship its first project. How does Nx accelerate the growth and adaptation necessary for a new venture?

Micro Frontends and Nx Monorepos: The Best of Two Worlds?
Presented by Manfred Steyer
Micro Frontends “by the book” are managed in different repositories. However, many Angular developers value the comfort and features provided by monorepos. This session will use Nx and Module Federation to show how to get the best of both worlds including sharing libraries between micro frontends, enforcing isolation, and deployment strategies.

Generators, Executors and Plugins — Automating for Speed and Quality with the Nx Devkit
Presented by Juri Strumpflohner
One of Nx’s primary advantages is seamless integration of different tools through automation which we roughly categorized into: executors, generators, and plugins. Nx comes with different packages that already have all of these built-in, but you can also leverage the @nrwl/devkit API to create custom generators, executors and plugins to meet the needs of your specific workspace.

Revealing the Identity of the “x” in Nx
Presented by Nathan Walker
Have you heard of Nx? Is it the missing variable in the algebraic expression to solving the nature of our universe? It just might be. Many JavaScript developers live in a universe of TypeScript these days, and Nx is a distinguished variable in solving a multitude of universal TypeScript challenges. Let’s explore how Nx can be transformational when it comes to harnessing the power of our TypeScript codebases and how it can help keep us in-line with its evolutionary journey.

Design Systems for Enterprise
Presented by Katerina Skroumpleou and Rares Matei
If you are part of a large organization or team, chances are you need a design system. A combination of Nx and Storybook will make that process more efficient, more enjoyable, and definitely more scalable. Storybook helps you build “UI components in isolation”. Combined with Nx and the architecture of a Nx workspace, you can have your UI libraries easily “browsable” and testable by your whole dev and UI/UX teams.

Debugging a NestJS Application
Presented by Yvonne Allen
In this talk, Yvonne will walk you through the process of debugging a NestJS application within Nx.

Optimizing Workspaces for Nx
Presented by Zack DeRose
In this talk, we’ll discuss the concerns to consider when architecting an Nx workspace and how to be proactive in managing your dependency graph to get the most out of developer productivity and reduce the risk of dreaded circular dependencies.

Solving Problems with the Dependency Graph
Presented by Philip Fulcher
The dependency graph can be a powerful part of your workspace, but it can be hard to parse much information from the visualization, especially in large projects. In this talk, you’ll learn about strategies to cut your graph down to size to understand more visually and also how to use the JSON output of the graph when a visual just won’t cut it.

ESLint: Your Nx Workspace Rules
Presented by James Henry
In this talk, we will cover what it takes to create and run lint rules directly in your Nx workspace specific to your workspace’s own requirements and best practices. Want to learn how to avoid using developer time to police your contributing conventions in PR reviews? How to add auto fixing so the correct solutions are a command away? How to leverage existing utilities from the ESLint ecosystem to avoid writing invalid rules? Then this talk is for you!

Optimize your development workflow with Nx Cloud
Presented by Kirils Ladovs
It’s 2021 — time to break away from unintelligent CI set ups, and rudimentary local development workflows. This talk covers how different features of Nx Cloud power up your Nx development.

Lose Your Fear of Package Updates
Presented by Altan Stalker
How can you scare any engineer in two words? Version updates. One of Nx’s superpowers is being able to run common commands incrementally — but what about commands that we run less frequently? Learn how Nx makes the upgrade path to latest so simple that you and your team won’t want to miss a version bump for your framework again.
