In this talk, Alain will cover everything there is to know about Angular Signals and why they are so important for the future of your Angular applications. We'll talk about performance, change detection, and signal-based components.

While Angular's embrace of Signals catapulted it back to the forefront of frontend development, it's still early days. The vast ecosystem of Angular libraries must now adjust, and leverage Signals themselves.

One area is state management. The NgRx SignalStore reimagines state management entirely with Signals at its core.

In my talk, we will look at this novel store and explore the possibilities of modern, Signals-based state management.

Inspired by the well-established effectiveness of TanStack Query in various frameworks, Angular Query presents a fresh paradigm for managing server state in Angular applications. The library streamlines tasks such as data fetching, caching, and server-side data synchronisation, featuring intuitive, declarative APIs and minimal configuration requirements. Let’s explore its potential within the Angular ecosystem.

Building applications with JavaScript is fantastic, but the toolchain could be more enthusiastic sometimes.
Building and testing time could become minutes, not seconds, and splitting the applications into modules depends on our folder structure.
However, there is a way to take all these benefits and get a better Developer Experience.
Nx is the solution and, in the last years, has had a lot of success.
Using Nx, you can easily share your libraries, build and test them in parallel and reduce wasting time.
You can prevent building or retesting unchanging code and speed up your workflow.
It also reduces the initial configuration of your projects, and you can think only about releasing value to your product or customer.
In this speech, you'll see the benefits of using Nx in your projects, the different ways to create a project, and how to split the code base and improve productivity.

Using RxJS and signals with reactive programming techniques, our Angular applications are more responsive to user actions and state changes, providing a better user experience with less code.
In this session, we how RxJS and signals are most powerful together, improving our state management and reactivity.

During this talk, we will dive into the source code of the Angular Forms modules and learn how they are designed under the hood and how this knowledge can help you develop forms more efficiently and consciously.

It is undisputed that Signals will shape the future of Angular. At first glance, Signals seem very easy to use—like variables with getters and setters. However, if you start using them that way, you run into several pitfalls. To prevent such situations, we discuss 3 effective rules of thumb that help you take advantage of the advantages of Signals and reactive systems in general and make your source code more maintainable.
You will be surprised by the difference these three rules can make!
