Possible topic for a future meeting: new Angular features
Hi newdevs, I've been experimenting with a few different features available in newer versions of Angular (huge thank you to Stephanie and Bill for getting us upgraded to a recent Angular version and making this exploration possible!) Specifically, I've been working with: * Standalone components <https://v17.angular.io/guide/standalone-components> * Signals <https://angular.dev/essentials/signals#> * Using protected attributes in templates <https://blog.angular.dev/angular-v14-is-now-available-391a6db736af#6579> (rather than needing to make them public) * The new @-style control flow <https://angular.dev/guide/templates/control-flow> (for example, @if instead of *ngIf) I think that the first three are really great improvements to Angular; they've allowed me to write simpler, more reliable code. The @ stuff is fine too, I guess we'll need to get on board eventually 😂 Would there be interest in an intro session to these topics, with some interactive examples? I'd be happy to throw something together, or collaborate with others who might also be interested in presenting. -Jane

Jane, Yes please! I would love to learn about these things. Something that's been on my list. Maybe you can jump start me! Just let me know when and where. -Blake- Conducting Magic Will consume any data format MOBIUS On 7/1/25 7:02 PM, Terran McCanna via Eg-newdevs wrote:

From my understanding signals have been a very popular in JS frameworks for the past few years, I remember when my darling Svelte announced they were adding them a couple years ago they said something like "yeah we realized Solid et al. was right about this".
