This week, I’m attending the Microsoft Global MVP summit in the Pacific Northwest of the US, and I thought it would be a good idea to get some inspiration by writing from one of the tree houses on the Microsoft Redmond campus. So here is the view from where I’m writing this newsletter today:
I’m using the 3-2-1 format of the newsletter, posting some good content to review, updates to know about, and one question to ponder:
One video to watch:
- Instead of sharing three short articles, I thought of this video from Alex Rickabaugh explaining change detection (I mean… synchronization!). I guarantee it will be a very well-spent half-hour watching it.
Two Angular updates:
- Directives such as ngIf and ngFor will soon get deprecated to favor the new control flow blocks. An automated migration CLI command is already available, so don’t hesitate to use it.
- Frontend Nation Angular Day with Minko Gechev (his talk is about Angular in 2025) and other Angular rock stars is tomorrow (or today, depending on when you read this!). It’s a free online event, and I’ll be speaking, too. You can still register here.
One question to think about:
Have you ever used the Angular profiler? If not, you should try it to see how much time Angular spends rendering and updating your components.
