It's good to have a summary like this from a source I can trust. "stable and backward compatible": not a phrase to glide past without emphasis. In today's job market where React (unstable and inconsistent) is 9 out of 10 jobs advertised but you never know if the behemoth project they use is based on 16, 18 or cutting edge, but you can be certain it's a mess.

[@qwertyuio53]

You mean Next.js? Because I'm pretty sure the last breaking change that react had was in 2022.

Angular got me started in typescript back in 2018 or so - but it was only an interview test where I implemented the app in angular as an experiment ( failed it ), but now enjoying actually learning TypeScript currently with Max's course. ( but I will no longer say yes to an interview test where I'm creating an app all day - F that )

[@ariyoayodejiifeoluwa65]

Angular is so beautiful, can be a handful at times but so beautiful.

[@sravant]

RXjs operators are very powerful stuff to handle any complex architecture/call dependency. Going without RXJS will make the developer to implement on their own which is very error prone.

[@hengkeatyam3700]

An optional NgModule doesn't mean you can't use it. it simply means you have the choice to use it or not. The same concept applies to Optional Decorator, Zone.js, RxJS. for example, nowadays, you can use 'withFetch' to make HttpClient use fetch instead of XMLHttpRequest, future maybe you can use 'withSignal' or 'withRxJS' for HttpClient.

[@adambickford8720]

@@kumailn7662 Angular lives only because of Google. Angular 2 is completely different from angular 1 and angular 18 is different from angular 2 and still they are trying to implement the framework to be honest..

[@dyunior]

In my daily work I maintain AngularJS 1, that's a large app with millions of users per month. Our new project apps use React, but I want to learn or transition to Angular 2, can you point me to blogs, videos or helpful info to transition from AngularJS 1 to Angular? Thank you!

[@mikhailratner4649]

Thanks for the update! I wonder what's the big problem with the decorators? Is it just visually unpleasing or is there a real benefit of not using / having less decorators in the code?

[@xucongzhan9151]

I personally like them, but at the end of the day, TS decorators are not TC39 decorators. Some people also find them to clutter the component a bit too much.

It seems like Angular is on the path of removing most decorators (I assume they'll keep ones like component and module for now). It's unfortunate because I like decorators.

We already went zoneless on our production apps lmao.. works perfectly.. screw "experimental"

[@WilcoGroothand]

LOL, reviewing the course then.. Always busy with Angular...

[@sameralkhatib4474]

With zoneless application, does it mean we dont have to set change detection to onPush?

[@hengkeatyam3700]

zone.js use for trigger dirty check onPush use for reduce the number of view for dirty check so the onPush is still needed. but Signal can detect which view is changed, so I think onPush will also be optional in future.

[@xucongzhan9151]

Detailed, high-quality courses require *great* effort and time to build and maintain, and you are asking for one for free. See the "conflict of interest" here? Don't get me wrong, I respect and appreciate those putting out free content with all my heart, and I make free tutorials myself (just not on YT). But you don't just take free courses for granted like that. Plus Udemy courses are not THAT expensive. Usually, just 10-20 dollars when on sale.

[@hengkeatyam3700]

I totally agree with what you said "It's a super stable backward compatible framework".

[@nymez6968]

Is that why there are constantly breaking changes between major version. So many that they come with a tool than runs over your codebase and tries to „migrate it“ which usually for our projects meant it fixed 80%, forgot 10% and managed to fuck up the rest. No idea where this statement is coming from but Angular causes the most issues at work. On our newer projects that no longer use Angular we have way less problems.

[@hengkeatyam3700]

@@nymez6968 Usually, if you follow best practices, 90% of migration can be done automatically. For the remaining 10%, you can easily refer to the migration or breaking changes documentation. This won't make you lose control. However, if your application is very large and complex: 1. You need to write unit and end-to-end (E2E) tests. 2. Avoid adopting new technologies too early. For example, Angular Material currently does not use Signals at all. Google uses Angular for very complex applications, such as Google Ads. If you really want to excel with Angular, you need to deeply understand its source code. It is not as simple as learning Vue or React. Angular does not provide any tutorials or even documentation for how to use Angular in complex applications.

[@kylerjohnson988]

@@nymez6968 That sounds like a skill issue. You realize that major versions are for breaking changes, right? I've maintained a variety of projects in my career from small internal support apps to very large enterprise scale apps with millions of users and Angular 2+ is the easiest framework to keep up-to-date of any framework I've used. Other frameworks have advantages over Angular in other ways, but when it comes to updates, there isn't one easier than Angular. The reason they have migration scripts is because thousands of projects at Google run on the latest versions of Angular and they don't want to update them all manually. All of those internal apps at google are running on the latest RC versions before they're even released to the public. If the migration scripts don't work for you, you or your org has done something to screw with it in a way that I've seldom seen even when I was consultant and working on tons of Angular apps for different clients. Don't blame the framework for skill issues. It's dumb. Literally millions are using it successfully.

you don't have to care about the compiler. it work behind your code. it will use AI to optimize and rebuild your code. so you don't have to use useCallback or useMemo to manual optimize performance anymore. and you even no need to care / learn how the rendering work in future. focus back your business logic code.

A lot of medium to larger companies use Angular either for internal or external apps.

[@kikaen]

My team switched from Angular to Svelte and we're never going back. Even with these updates it still seems needlessly complex.

[@kylerjohnson988]

I'm a huge Angular fan, but I have to agree with you. Since NgModules aren't necessary anymore, the new svelte-like control flow, and signal implementation, Angular has come a long way. But the component authoring experience is still the most verbose/complex of any framework I'm aware of. If they solve that problem, I think it'll be right there with Svelte in my book. SvelteKit is criminally unrelated though. That would be my first choice to start a new project.
