Design Systems with Angular
In this workshop you will learn all the components of a design system with Angular. Starting with design tooling, component libraries and automated visual testing, you will learn hands-on how to create a scalable design system.
Using sample projects and also your own project examples, we will work together to create a finished design system.
In this workshop, you will learn how to …
- use components already in visual conception
- improve communication between design and dev teams
- develop and maintain your own component library
- test your components in an automated way
- make collaboration between teams more effective

Motivation and Basics
- What are Design Systems?
- How do component libraries fit in?
- Why your own library instead of commercial component toolkits?
Your Professional Process: The Component Design Lifecycle
- Why component development?
- How do you develop holistic components (concept -> design -> dev)?
- Ubiquitous Language: Why names are important and how they shape collaboration
-
Interplay between design and development:
Robust components in the agile process - How do I design good components?
Storybook
- What is Storybook?
- History
