The Angular Plus Show

Micro-what?!? What is a micro frontend, what does it have to do with Angular, why would I want to use this strategy, and how do I go about implementing this in my organization?These are all good questions. Whether you know what a micro frontend is, have never heard of it, or are currently implementing this strategy in your organization, this is an episode of the Angular Show that you do not want to miss.Join panelists Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and Jennifer Wadella as they start their journey in learning about Micro Frontends in Angular. We had the privilege to sit down with Zama Khan Mohamed, who is an expert in Micro Frontends. Zama teaches us the basics of what a micro frontend is and why we would consider this strategy for our applications. Then, we dive into the details on how Angular developers and organizations using Angular, as well as a mix of other frameworks, can leverage Micro Frontends in their architecture. We also discuss some of the benefits and costs of this approach, and why you might want to consider using micro frontends. Finally, we also touch on Webpach version 5's new support for federated modules and the impact this has on how we build modern micro frontends.Phew - that sounds like a lot, but have no fear, your friendly panelists are here to walk with you through this new landscape of micro frontends in the JavaScript ecosystem.Show Notes:https://github.com/single-spa/single-spahttps://webpack.js.org/concepts/module-federation/Connect with us:@mohamedzamakhan@likeOMGitsFEDAY@brian_love@aaronfrostFollow us on X: The Angular Plus ShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.social  The Angular Plus Show is a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.

Securing your Angular application is almost always necessary. And, it's almost always unnecessary for you to roll your own solution to authentication and security. Why? First, security is not easy and straight-forward. At first, you might be tempted to think, "Well, it's just a form with two fields, email, and a password, right?" Not really. Securing your app is complex, constantly evolving, and is critical to your application. Finally, implementing your own OAuth-based social account authentication can be mundane, and perhaps even trivial. You, your team, and your organization should prioritize what you know and do best: building your app.While there are many identity providers to choose from, Angular Show panelists Jeniffer Wadella and Brian Love wanted to learn more about the solution provided by Microsoft. So, we sat down with Christos Matskas from the Microsoft Identity Product Group to learn more.Microsoft Azure provides a robust infrastructure and tooling for securing Angular applications. And getting started only requires an Azure account and your existing knowledge of Angular. First, you register your Angular application, then you can configure your Angular application using the Microsoft Authentication Library for JavaScript. The Microsoft Identity Product Group team has also built a wrapper on top of the JS library specifically for Angular, making it very easy to install and import the necessary module into your Angular application's root module to configure your application. The team also provides plenty of source code examples in their documentation specific to Angular. Using Microsoft Identity platform, you can rest assured that your application is secure, and the security of your application is following best practices from security experts.Join us as we learn about the benefits of using an identity provider, the specific implementation of using Microsoft Azure identity solution with Angular, and how you can get started.

Join us in part two of our series on RxJS Operators. As Angular developers, we rely on RxJS primary for asynchronous operations via the Observable primitive. While we can think of an Observable like a Promise, and simply subscribe, we can also take advantage of the many, many operators at our disposal for the transformation of events and data within the Observable stream.In order to learn more about RxJS transformation operators, we invited Lara Newsom and Zack De Rose to the podcast. Lara and Zack have a wealth of knowledge in both Angular and RxJS. Lara is a software engineer at Source Allies, a technical consultancy located in Iowa; and Zack is a senior software engineer at Narwhal, where they build Nx and Nx Cloud, as well as provide Angular consulting services.To get started, the group tackles the mapping operators, including map, pluck, scan, and reduce. They then dive into the various higher-order mapping operators, including switchMap, exhaustMap, mergeMap, and concatMap. Learning the different behaviors of each of the mapping operators is important when determining which operator to use within the pipe method. Next, the panel talks about the buffer operators, including buffer, bufferCount, and bufferTime. This then leads into discussion about the window operators, including window, windowCount, and windowTime, all of which have nothing to do with the global window variable in JavaScript when executing in the context of a browser.This episode is jam-packed with great content, humor, and fun.

The Angular Show is primarily focused on engagement with the Angular community through education. But in this week's episode, we won't be learning anything new; we won't hear from a community expert about a particular technology; we won't discuss the past, present, or future of Angular; and we won't learn about state management, flux, redux, NgRx, or RxJS...You might be asking - "Well, then what ARE the wonderful panelists going to talk about on today's show?"In the first installment of the Angular Sideline, our lovely panelists Jennifer Wadella, Aaron Frost, & Brian Love, brought you into a range of their hysterical and odd musings. And you can expect nothing different for this second episode. Just ask yourself this - "How much do you love Angular and just how far would you go to express that love?" We won't give away any of the juicy nuggets of comedy that are about to caress your ears and tantalize your neurons.

Let's admit it - sometimes CSS can be difficult. Seasoned veterans of web development even struggle with CSS. It's this magical thing that makes our applications look and work with beauty. But, it can also be a challenge, especially as our applications and teams grow and evolve. Most Angular developers spend their day writing TypeScript, HTML, and CSS, or potentially use a preprocessor for CSS such as SCSS or LESS. This episode of The Angular Show focuses on the latter.The panelists are joined by Nicole Oliver, a senior software engineer at Narwhal, who teaches about styling applications in Angular as she shares her experience working with large organizations to reign in the beast that is CSS.The group dives into topics such as block-element-modifier (BEM), Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS (SMACSS), Object-oriented CSS (OOCSS), and utility-first methodologies. They also chat about using SCSS variables, CSS custom variables, and other approaches for consistent styling of Angular applications.Nicole Oliver @nixalloverJennifer Wadella @likeOMGitsFEDAYBrian Love @brian_loveAaron Frost@aaronfrostShow Notes:Material.iohttps://material.io/design/material-studies/fortnightly.html#product-architectureFollow us on X: The Angular Plus ShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.social  The Angular Plus Show is a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.

RxJS provides both the observable primitives as well as a broad set of operators for the creation and transformation of data. And, as you know, Angular leverages RxJS for cancelable asynchronous actions and events. In our opinion, the two are a perfect match. Interactions with web applications are asynchronous in nature and Angular provides a robust solution to detecting those asynchronous actions, enabling developers to build interactive experiences for the web with ease.In this series on RxJS operators, we help you learn the operators. As you likely know, there are a lot of them, and it can be difficult to know what each of them does, and often, how to determine which operator, or operators, are succinct and current for solving the complexities of streaming data, actions, and events in our applications.Join panelists Jennifer Wadella, Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and guest Jan-Niklas Wortmann as we explore the creation operators. These functions enable the creation of new observables, or the composing of existing observables into a new observable stream. Jan-Niklas is a Google Developer Expert in Angular and volunteers his time on the RxJS core team. Listen in and learn from Jan-Niklas as he teaches us about many of the creation operators in RxJS. We're sure you'll walk away from this episode with a new and expanded knowledge of RxJS.Find us on Twitter:Jan-Niklas Wortmann | @niklas_wortmannBrian Love | @brian_loveJennifer Wadella | @likeOMGitsFEDAYAaron Frost | @aaronfrostFollow us on X: The Angular Plus ShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.social  The Angular Plus Show is a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.

Grab your favorite cola, some swig, a beer, or sangria, and sit down with panelists Jennifer Wadella, Aaron Frost, and Brian Love for a hangout. This week's episode of The Angular Show is about the show. It's a bit meta, we know, but we wanted to share with you a little bit about why we spend a few hours every week to create the Angular Show. This podcast was born out of a desire to make a podcast that reflects the community, that is inclusive, and that is welcoming.We also wanted to share with you some of the funny moments that have occurred both before and during the show. We can't give away the herbs and spices that make up the secret sauce that coats the delicious podcast that tantilizes your ears, but (hint, hint) we offer a slight possibility of leaking some of the juicy bits if we get enough tweets on the 'ole Tweet Machine.Finally, we share with you how we pick our guests and how we determine the topics that we talk about. We also shared how we transitioned the show this year to focus on producing several series, with more in depth series yet to come on topics such as forms.Follow us on X: The Angular Plus ShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.social  The Angular Plus Show is a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.

Panelists Jennifer Wadella, Aaron Frost, and Brian Love sit down with Lukas Ruebbelke, a Google Developer Expert in Angular, author, speaker, and mentor, to learn about a mentorship model that Lukas has developed for providing individuals with the opportunity to change their lives through programming. Lukas has displayed his love for the community through deep personal investments using his mentorship model. Starting with his first-principles and cross-pollination approach to software development, Lukas teaches with passion and heart. Throughout the history of software engineering, the tools, languages, and frameworks have changed drastically. However, what has not changed, as proposed by Lukas, is that programming can be distilled to four first-principles: nouns, verbs, iterators, and conditionals. Taking this one step further, Lukas teaches about what he refers to as the "axis of evil", which is when it is too painful to write tests for your code. The panelists and Lukas talk about what it means to write good code, and how this varies based on the context of good code.To wrap things up, Lukas and the panelists talk about investing in ourselves and the people with whom we interact, in our organizations and the community. It's important that we take the long game to software engineering and prioritize our own mental health and our relationships.Show Links:https://osmihelp.org/resourceshttps://www.amazon.com/Infinite-Game-Simon-Sinek/Follow us on X: The Angular Plus ShowBluesky: @theangularplusshow.bsky.social  The Angular Plus Show is a part of ng-conf. ng-conf is a multi-day Angular conference focused on delivering the highest quality training in the Angular JavaScript framework.
