Episode 23/19: Angular Course, NgRx 16, Igor Minar on Angular's history

An official Angular course led by Mark Thompson on YouTube covers the latest features. NgRx integrates Signals in version 16 for easier state management. Igor Minar shares insights on Angular's history in a podcast episode.

Angular Course

Since the release of Angular version 2, the Heroes Tutorial has been the initial introduction for many developers. It gradually familiarised them with the basic concepts and the overall framework structure. However, a new approach is on the horizon.

We now have an official Angular course available on YouTube, led by Mark Thompson. This comprehensive course spans eight episodes, where participants build an application for finding housing. The course covers all the latest features, including standalone components, the inject function, and more. It's an excellent resource for staying up to date with the latest advancements in Angular.

One surprising aspect of the course was the utilisation of the native fetch method for backend communication, instead of the traditional HttpClient.

NgRx 16

Another significant development worth noting is the integration of Signals into NgRx, a popular state management library. NgRx version 16 was released just one week after Angular 16. This integration introduces a selectSignal function in the library's store service which returns a ReadableSignal. It is available in both the Global and Component Store. As a result, managing state with Signals becomes more seamless and intuitive.

Moreover, an RFC has been proposed for a new library called the NgRx Signal store, indicating further advancements in this area.
