Reactive Thinking with Signals and the New httpResource
With Signals and the Resource API, Angular now offers powerful built-in building blocks for implementing reactive designs. Although the API surface is simple, the real challenge lies in the paradigm shift toward reactive programming. Familiar patterns must be unlearned, and applications need to be approached in a fundamentally new way.
In this session, you will learn how to successfully navigate this essential transition. We will focus on the underlying signal graph and use a hands-on example to highlight the key aspects.
By the end, you will know how to apply reactive thinking to thrive in the world of Signals.

Workshop
In this interactive workshop, we use Angular's latest features to build a modern and maintainable architecture for large applications. We start with a sustainable project setup using Nx with Module Boundaries and Sheriff.
We continue with integrating Signals that will shape the future of the framework and leverage the new Resource API including the httpResource for establishing a reactive design. Then, we use the brand-new NGRX Signal Store to establish modern and lightweight state management patterns.
In the end, you will know how you can use the individual tools to design modern and, above all, long-term maintainable Angular architectures.
