Angular is a powerful web application framework that helps us build impressive enterprise applications, but as static "Jamstack" sites grow in popularity, those who maintain Angular apps may feel the grass is greener with other technologies that are optimized for faster page rendering. Fortunately, the open source tool Scully is a static site generator that works with Angular to pre-render content and deliver fast and secure websites that can still connect to APIs to render dynamic content as needed. In this talk, I will demonstrate Scully by showing how it can be added to an existing Angular project, explain how it actually works behind the scenes to produce the new static assets, and recommend some good practices for incrementally improving your Angular applications.

Target audience is web developers, especially those who have used Angular, as they would benefit most and have the most context. But all are welcome who wish to attend and all terms will be explained. This is a tool that I have experience using and I have given a one-hour version of this talk to co-workers as a way of explaining the viability of possibly using it in our production tech stack. This talk is a mix of slides to explain definitions and sharing my screen to show actual code samples. Requires Internet connection if at all possible to show demonstration of an actual deployment. I have experience speaking at several conferences in the past year of various formats and sizes (Atlanta Code Camp, Big Mountain Data & Dev, & Devnexus).
