According to builtwith.com over 400,000 Angular 1 apps have been created and released into the wild. Moving to Angular 2 is a daunting prospect. It’s only just been released so there isn’t a large body of knowledge on how best to do this. Most content online talks about how to migrate from 1 to 2 in a “big bang” approach. When your product processes millions every day, using the word “big bang” doesn’t engender a lot of support from senior managers or stakeholders. In this talk, I’ll go through a real Angular 1 application and upgrade it “iteratively” to Angular 2. By the end, the Audience will have a step by step roadmap for how to upgrade as well as how to present the arguments for upgrading to stakeholders.
