E051 - Indigo Design

The Angular Show welcomes back our friends from Infragistics to talk about their new App Builder prototype as a low-code solution to building Angular applications that integrate seamlessly with their Indigo Design platform. Infragistics is a design and development company that also builds tooling and products to enable developers to build robust applications in .NET and Angular. In this show, we welcome George Abraham and Konstantin Dinev back to the show to teach us about design systems and their low-code solution for Angular.

We start out by learning about design systems and the importance of using a design system to integrate the UI/UX team with the development workflow. In many organizations, there is a gap between these two teams, and further, making feature iterations and scaling designs across many applications can be difficult and complex. Design systems seek to solve these issues. Infragistics Indigo Design is built with this purpose in mind.

Infragistics' new App Builder build (see what we did there) on Indigo Design to provide a low-code solution for application prototyping and development. Imagine taking your UI design, building the design and navigation using their cloud solution, and then downloading the resulting Angular application that is ready to go. Now now, you might find this a bit scary being an Angular developer. But, have no fear, the panelists ask the tough questions for you, such as what about the quality, maintainability, and testability of the generated code?? We think you'll be pleasantly surprised to learn what the team at Infragistics is building. Besides, who really enjoys spending hours writing out semantic HTML and CSS?
