The Angular Plus Show

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:@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.

State management is hard. Why? First, some engineers may not consider the state of their apps. This can lead to apps that are buggy, difficult to test, and often face regressions when attempting to fix issues. Second, if you're managing control flow and state in your application, state in some applications can be complex and fast-moving. Determining what solution to use, whether to build your own solution or to grab an existing off-the-shelf solution can be a difficult decision. Third, state management libraries can be difficult to learn. Entire courses are devoted to managing state in Angular applications, whether you choose NgRx, NGXS, Akita, MobX, Redux-Observables, etc.We get that. Why? We've seen a thing or two. In this episode, panelists Jennifer Wadella, Aaron Frost, & Brian Love share some of their own struggles with state management, decisions that went awry, and some horror stories that they've lived through. Then, Brian sits down with Mike Ryan, core team member for NgRx, and Google Developer Expert in Angular. Mike shares with us some stories and some key takeaways for managing state, control flow, and code volume in your Angular application using NgRx.And that's a wrap!

While NgRx is the most widely used and adopted platform for state management in Angular, there are several other solutions that are available to Angular developers. In this episode, panelists Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and Jennifer Wadella are 'buzzing' with details on MobX, Akita, and NGXS. All three of these solutions can be used in Angular, are open-source, and are free to use. MobX is widely used with React, perhaps the second favorite after redux, for state management. Akita, from the team at Datarama, takes a slightly different approach from the redux pattern for providing a state management solution. Akita is popular within the Angular community, but can also be used with both React and Svelte projections. Finally, NGXS is inspired by redux and NgRx and makes heavy use of TypeScript decorators to achieve similar goals as NgRx with a potential lower code cost.Join us in part 5 of our series on state management in Angular and come along with the panelists and learn about various solutions that you might want to consider for your Angular application.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.

The Angular Show's panelists (Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and Jeniffer Wadella) sit down with Brandon Roberts to learn from the master, and contributor, of the popular NgRx platform and the elegant, efficient, opinionated, and performant solution to state management in Angular.The NgRx platform includes several libraries. The most popular and widely used library is the store, often used alongside the effects and entities libraries. The NgRx store library (often referred to as just "NgRx") is inspired by Redux. Redux's core principles are: a single source of truth, state is read-only, and changes to the state of the application are only made through pure functions referred to as reducers. NgRx is an Angular library that is open-source, adheres to these core principles, and is widely adopted in applications that often have complex state that necessitates the structured approach to state management utilizing indirection.Join us as we dive further into state management in Angular!Show Notes:► https://medium.com/@unicodeveloper/2018-in-review-shattering-expectations-9418f2d720cc► https://ngrx.io/guide/component-storeFollow 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.

Part 2 of our series on State Management in Angular focuses on the use of RxJS in order to leverage Observables, Subjects, and BehaviorSubjects in Angular applications.First, Aaron Frost and Jennifer Wadella talk through how RxJS is used by Angular developers to persist state in singleton services using Subjects. This is a common approach to implementing a single source of truth with the observable pattern in Angular. Another benefit of the approach is a path to implementing a state management library such as NgRx in an Angular application when necessary.Then, Ben Lesh joins Brian Love and the other panelists to share his story of how he personally got started on the RxJS project. One of the major drawbacks of using promises is a lack of a cancellation feature. While at Netflix, the team resolved this by using the Observable primitive. Ben also shares the story of how he was tasked with refactoring RxJS to follow the then-to-be approved TC39 proposal for the Observable primitive. We then learn from Ben about the current work that is being done by the RxJS core team and the future of RxJS.Finally, Ben drops some knowledge on a simple philosophy: if the code you write works, can be maintained, and is testable, then it's good code. The end.Show Notes: https://github.com/ReactiveX/rxjs/blob/8dacf256be307ba3b8b2e9c94badb4b398e1ec47/docs_app/content/guide/glossary-and-semantics.mdFollow 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.

Buckle your seatbelt folks, this is going to be one heck of a ride. Get ready for episode one of a six-part series on State Management in Angular. That's right, there was no way we could fit the topic into a single episode. Panelists Aaron Frost, Brian Love, and Jennifer Wadella start with defining what exactly is "state" in a client application and why it matters. We then jump into a time machine and travel back to the (good?) ole' days of state management in AngularJS. Remember $scope? What about those long digest cycles? But, have no fear, we'll then race forward in time to the pending release of the modern-framework that is Angular (version 2+).The panelists then welcome Googler Alex Rickabaugh to share how he made his way onto the Angular Team through an internal data fetching/caching project called Streamy. His experience with building Streamy led to working on a PoC Angular project, "Tactical", in an attempt to provide Angular with a State Management+ solution. Tactical aimed to manage data flow, offline, validation, caching, conflicts, and more. While Tactical was never released as an official part of the Angular platform, Alex shares insight into the complexities of state management and building abstract tools to solve the oft-encountered programming problem.But wait, wait... there's more. The panelists then scrub forward in time to hearing about state management evolutions in other frameworks, such as Flux and then Redux. Then, zooming forward even more into the land of Promises and then the revelation (and struggle) of Observables. With all that history and information, you definitely don't want to miss this episode!
