November 2024 - Recap DevFest and Community

Hi! 👋🏽 November has ended, and it was packed with four events in a single month (special thanks to my family, Edgar, and Silvia, for their patience ❤️). It was an incredible experience sharing and learning with the community and GDG.

Let’s recap!

📝 Articles

With all the events this month, my writing time was a bit limited. But I still managed to publish one article!

This month, I explored building multi-conversation chats. Starting from scratch, I discovered a way to simplify the process using Kendo UI and Angular Signals. The result? A feature-rich chat app with editing, deleting, and pinning functionalities.

🙏🏽 Special Thanks

A huge shoutout to Google Developer for inviting me to participate in the #AISprint with #Gemini! I loved the experience and, of course, the awesome swag and stickers.
