Adventures in Angular

In this episode, Lucas, Armen, and Subrat are joined by Luis Galeas, the CEO and founder of Ambar. Today's discussion dives into the fascinating world of event sourcing, exploring its intricacies in both front-end and back-end development.
Event sourcing has emerged as a pivotal technique for managing the state by recording events that can rebuild the application state, bringing unique challenges and opportunities, especially on the back end where state persistence and scalability are critical. Luis shares his expertise on how Ambar's tools simplify event connections with minimal coding, the importance of efficient data transfer, and how event sourcing can transform state management.
They also cover practical aspects like the technological components, system design, and implementation strategies for event sourcing, providing a comprehensive overview for developers keen on enhancing their applications. Lucas, Armen, and Subrat, alongside Luis, provide valuable insights and address common challenges, ensuring you walk away with actionable knowledge.
To round things off, Luis introduces a free course offered by Ambar to dive deeper into event sourcing and discusses how gradual implementation can ease the transition for your development projects. Stay tuned for a deep dive into event sourcing's potential to revolutionize your approach to state management in both front-end and back-end technologies.

Freddy Montes joins the adventure to discuss how he and his team manage state in their Angular components.
Many development teams instinctively reach for a solution like ngrx when they're building their angular apps and start seeing complex state. However, there's a lot of boilerplate and it's often overkill for small to medium apps. Freddy talks about his journey into managing state for his components using observables and basic state libraries.

Dive deep into the latest trends and challenges in the development world. Lucas, Armen, and Subrat Mishra are joined by a special guest,  Rakia Ben Sassi, a Google Developer Expert in Angular. 


In this episode, they explore the complexities and potential benefits of adopting Zoneless Angular and discuss the critical updates in Angular 18, including improved composability for micro frontends and interoperability with other frameworks. They also cover the technical barriers and performance issues associated with Zone JS, and how its removal could significantly streamline your development process.


They delve into the practical considerations for server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side rendering (CSR), offering a hybrid approach that could be beneficial for large applications. Rakia shares some fascinating use cases, including an e-commerce application example, to illustrate the real-world impact of choosing SSR versus CSR.


They touch on the new features in the Angular Forms API, including a discussion on the new observable for form control events, and its relevance in complex applications.


Finally, they wrap up with some promotional content, where Armen talks about his upcoming book "Modern Angular," Lucas highlights Top End Devs' tech podcasts, Rakia promotes her blog and video courses, and Subrat invites you to check out his YouTube channel.

In this episode of Adventures in Angular the panel interviews Tara Manicsic. Tara is an Angular Developer Experience Engineer at Netlify. Tara explains what she does at Netlify. She explains what Netlify is and introduces the topic for today’s episode, JAMstack. She explains what services Netlify offers and the packages they offer. 
 
She explains that the JAM in JAMstack stands for JavaScript API Markup, which outlines the best practices of a JAMstack architecture. During her explanation of JAMstack and the benefits of a microservice architecture, she references Smashing Magazine and their switch to JAMstack. 
 
Tara overviews each letter of JAM and how they affect JAMstack. J or Javascript refers to the use of a JavaScript language, like Angular and others. Tara lists the API’s one might use for the A in JAM. The panel discusses the M or Markup. Markup serves up fast and safe prerendered content. Tara explains what prerender means and it makes the content safer and the sites faster. Tara then overviews the entire JAMstack process and explains atomic deployment. 
 
The panel considers how JAMstack is picking up in the Angular ecosystem. Tara outlines a few of the benefits seen when using JAMstack and the panel considers the possible use cases. She shares a few real-life examples of the success seen when JAMstack is used in an enterprise application.
