The Angular Plus Show

The Angular Show invited Minko Gechev to come on the show and talk through some of the big Angular-related announcements, namely, Angular version 12, IE11 deprecation, and the shiny new Angular DevTools. Minko Gechev is a longtime contributor to Angular, a member of the Angular Team, a good friend of ours, and an all-around wonderful person to spend time with. To kick things off, Minko takes us through some of the big changes as part of the Angular version 12 release, including Ivy (no not the plant, the new-ish compilation and rendering pipeline in Angular) libraries and the final sail-off of ViewEngine (the thing that Ivy replaces), updates to the Language Service (VS Code plugin) to use Ivy, strict mode as the new default for new Angular projections, webpack 5 support, nullish coalescing operator in templates, and inline Sass. Phew!! That's a long list. I guess the team has been a bit busy. Hopefully, they got a break to attend Minko's amazing talk at Google I/O.And that's just the Angular version 12 content we cover in this episode! We also talk about DevTools, the new Chrome extension for Angular developers from the Angular Team, its features, how it works, the integration with the Chome DevTools, and how you should never touch an internal Angular API with three theta symbols (joking, but, seriously, no touchy)! The new DevTools are available in the Chrome Web Store to download and install today, and will soon be available for Firefox.Oh, we almost forgot! In the midst of all of these amazing technical accomplishments, the team snuck in some easy-peezy Tailwind CSS support for those of you that love to add dozens of classes to your HTML elements and are afraid of CSS (we get it, CSS is, like, really challenging). We're speculating that future versions of Angular might even write your CSS for you.Angular as a platform continues to grow and thrive. Want to be a part of the journey?

Ever wonder about being in Developer Relations (aka DevRel)? Or starting a meetup? Or building a technical community? In this episode, the panelists have the pleasure to sit down with Ana Cidre, a Developer Advocate at Auth0, and learn about how she got started with being a part of, and building, communities. Ana shares a bit of her story about how she got started, was mentored by Sherry List, and began engaging with technical communities, the JavaScript community, and of course, the Angular Community. Ana's story is both inspiration and education, and we know you will enjoy this special episode from the Angular Show.Ana shares how being a DevRel is not about selling, rather, developer relations is about building tools and education so that developers will remember a specific product or solution when they need it. She also shares with us about the Avocado Labs initiative that she pioneers at Auth0. Avocado Labs provides educational online content for developers, focusing on frontend engineering technologies, and of course, security and identity management. Avocado Labs hosts online presentations and panels. They have upcoming events that you can sign up for, as well as recordings from past events.In a rift with Ana about online communities, our beloved panelist Brian proposes an (according to Jennifer "cute") community idea called "async/await" where attendees consume some educational online content asynchronously on your own, and then gather later in-person, or online, to discuss, ask questions, or have a panel. It's an idea, and you hear it here first. Finally, Ana shares with us the Auth0 Ambassador program, how it works, the perks, and more. You can learn more about the Ambassador program using a link in our show notes.Show Notes:https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/30121783-social-architecturehttps://avocadolabs.dev/Links:https://javascript-conference.com/https://twitter.com/joshsimmons/status/1236060608153280513 https://www.ted.com/talks/celeste_headlee_10_ways_to_have_a_better_conversationConnect with us:Brian F Love - @brian_loveJennifer Wadella - @likeOMGitsFEDAYAna Cidre - @AnaCidre_Follow us on X:@DevLifePodcastThe DevLIfe Podcast  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.

In this episode of the Angular Show, we wanted to learn about workspaces. What exactly is a workspace? Why do we have this angular.json file? What is a builder? How does this all fit together with building Angular applications, both small, and at scale? What about Nx from the team at Nrwl?Join us as we spend some time learning from Benjamin Cabanes, an expert on Angular workspaces, and a senior engineer at Nrwl. Ben clearly defines what a workspace is, and what it is not. We learn from Ben how the Angular Workspace is configured, the primary components, and how it all fits together and integrates with the Angular CLI. Ben also teaches us about the benefits of a workspace over simply code colocation, and how we can use the power of Nx to improve the developer experience in our organizations.Be sure to subscribe so you can continue to learn from experts like Ben and the amazing Angular community.Show Notes:Node Rockets - https://www.node-rockets.com/Connect with us: Benjamin Cabanes - @bencabanesBrian F Love - @brian_loveAaron Frost - @aaronfrostFollow us on X:@DevLifePodcastThe DevLIfe Podcast  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.

How many domains do you currently own? One for your blog, maybe one for your email, a family website or two, oh, and of course a bunch of domains for those awesome side projects and ideas you have. Side projects can be fun, challenging, and rewarding. Have you ever thought about what it might take or look like to bootstrap your own side project and successfully launch a new startup?Join the panelists of the Angular Show as we have the opportunity to spend some time with Niall Crosby, the founder, and CEO of AG Grid. Niall shares with us the story of how he got started building AG Grid, some of the early decisions he made, and how he was able to bootstrap and launch a successful startup. AG Grid is the best JavaScript grid in the world. And, as such, it wasn't built in a day (kinda like Rome, which we think is quite promising). If you're not familiar with AG Grid, head over to thinkster.io or check out some of the free workshops that our very own Brian Love has delivered for teaching you AG Grid, from the basics to the most advanced use cases. This is an episode of the Angular Show that you don't want to miss, especially if you're eager to be an entrepreneur or if you're considering launching your own company.Show notes: Article about a story of ag-Grid https://medium.com/ag-grid/why-the-world-needed-another-angularjs-1-x-grid-17e522a53bc8Connect with us: Niall Crosby - https://www.linkedin.com/in/niallcrosby/?originalSubdomain=ukBrian F Love - @brian_loveAaron Frost - @aaronfrostFollow us on X:@DevLifePodcastThe DevLIfe Podcast  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.

Let's be honest, most engineers are not good designers. Working closely with product and design teams improves our applications, and is necessary for building a successful product. So, what are design systems and what role do they play to solve this challenge?In this episode of the Angular Show, we sit down with our friend Bill Odom. Bill loves Angular and his passion is to share his knowledge with the community, through speaking and teaching. Bill is a trainer at Oasis Digital that provides the popular Angular Bootcamp training. The panelists learn from Bill that design systems enable effective communication, planning, implementation, and ongoing maintenance of user interface and experience between engineering, design, and product development teams.You can expect to learn what a design system is, how they are valuable to organizations, some widely used design systems today, integrating design systems with tooling to develop components in isolation such as Storybook, and how design tokens fit into the model. Angular is well-positioned for developing applications using modern tooling, including design tokens, design systems, and more.

We here at the Angular Show strive to deliver fun, newsworthy, and exciting developments in the Angular community. And, while databases may not be something you are familiar with or really have to even worry about, we wanted to take a break from our usual programming to reflect briefly on data persistence. After all, you need to put your user data somewhere, and we don't recommend stuffing everything into localStorage.In this episode, panelists Brian Love, Jennifer Wadella, and Aaron Frost welcome Oren Eini, founder of RavenDB, to the Angular Show. Oren teaches us about some of the key decisions around structured vs unstructured databases (or SQL vs NoSQL in hipster developer parlance). With the boom of document-driven unstructured databases, we wanted to learn why you might choose this technology, the pitfalls and benefits, and what are the options out there. Of course, Oren has a bit of a bias for RavenDB, so we'll learn what RavenDB is all about and why it might be a good solution for your Angular application.Show Noteshttp://howfuckedismydatabase.com/nosql/Shadon: https://www.shodan.io/Data Breaches: https://www.informationisbeautiful.net/visualizations/worlds-biggest-data-breaches-hacks/Israel COVID Stats: https://datadashboard.health.gov.il/COVID-19/generalConnect with us:Brian F Love - @brian_loveAaron Frost - @aaronfrostJennifer Wadella - @likeOMGitsFEDAYOren Eini - @ayendeFollow us on X:@DevLifePodcastThe DevLIfe Podcast  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.

In the final part of our series on RxJS operators we welcome Zack DeRose, senior engineer at Nrwl, back to the show to learn about multicasting, error handling and utility operators. To kick things off we do a quick recap of hot vs cold Observables, unicast vs multicast, and then the Subject class as well as a few of its child-classes.You might be wondering, "What is a multicasted Observable; Why would I want that; and what is the implication for my application?" In short, the multicast operators provide the functionality to create a multicasted Observable (duh! and huh?). The complexity and confusion usually arise around what operators to choose from. Why would I choose publish() over shareReplay()? And, what about ref counting? Don't worry - panelists Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and Jennifer Wadella, along with our esteemed guest Zack, answer these very questions.We then go into detail on error handling in RxJS and the various operators for error handling, from catchError() to throwError(), and everything in between. Finally, we talk through various utility operators such as tap() and delay().While you don't need to have listened to the first 3 episodes on RxJS operators in this series to enjoy this episode, we do recommend you check them out if you haven't already.

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?Head over to infragistics.com to learn more about Indigo Design and the new App Builder for Angular.

In the final installment of our series on forms, the Angular Show welcomes one of our favorite speakers and expert on forms, our very own panelist, Jennifer Wadella. Jennifer is the Director of Angular Development at Bitovi, a front-end JavaScript consulting firm.In the first two installments, we discussed Angular Formly with Bram (better known as Beeman) and Juri Strumpflohner, and then we sat down with Ward Bell to expand our understanding and appreciation for template-driven forms. In this episode, Jennifer will take your knowledge of reactive-driven forms to the next level. To get started, we will broadly discuss the basics of reactive forms and its API; including the AbstractControl, the FormBuilder, and more. We'll then briefly learn about the differences between using the reactive forms API and the template-driven approach. We'll also discuss some more advanced topics, such as the value control accessor and validation. Finally, we'll look at a few of the open issues related to reactive forms and discuss how the API could be improved (ehh hemm, typings).If you haven't subscribed to our show, go ahead and do it now.

In part 3 of our series on RxJS operators, the Angular Show panelists Aaron Frost, Jennifer Wadella, and Brian Love, along with our friend Lara Newsom, take a stroll through the filtering operators. The filtering operators enable developers to filter next notifications from an Observable.The most logical filtering operator to start with is, well, you guessed it, the filter() operator. From there, we look to the operators that only emit a single next notification: first(), last(), find(), and single(). Most of these operators are fairly straight-forward, and often have an optional predicate that can be provided to determine when the operator returns a new Observable that immediately emits the next notification to the Observer, or to the next operator in the pipe. Moving onward Lara teaches us about the family of take() and skip() operators. We didn't list them out here since we are lazy and don't want to type them all out, plus, you should really just have a listen to the show and subscribe! Ok, phew, now Lara and the panelists talk about the ignoreElement() operator, which like the window() operator, has nothing to do with the DOM. Rounding the final bend in our run through the filtering operators we talk about the family of distinct() operators. And, with a sprint to the finish line, we learn about the audit(), debounce() and simple() operators for rate limiting. Speaking of rate-limiting, this is getting long. But, thankfully, this show on the filtering operators is not that long, plus, you can always expect a good time hanging out with the Angular Show.
