🚀 I’ve just released a brand-new course: 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) 🔗 angular-university.io/course… Angular has changed a lot over the last few years. If you’re learning Angular today, I don’t think it makes much sense to start with older patterns and syntax, only to replace them later. So I rebuilt the beginner course from scratch around 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗻 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗮𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆. 💻 We start with an empty Angular application and build a complete application step by step using: ➤ Signals and computed() ➤ Signal-based inputs and outputs ➤ @if, @for, @switch, and the new template syntax ➤ Components and component communication ➤ Services and dependency injection ➤ HTTP and backend data ➤ Loading and error states ➤ Zoneless change detection ➤ Updating data on the server There is 𝗻𝗼 *𝗻𝗴𝗜𝗳, 𝗻𝗼 *𝗻𝗴𝗙𝗼𝗿, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗰𝘆 𝘀𝘆𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘅 𝘁𝗼 𝘂𝗻𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱𝘀 🎯 The idea behind the course is simple: Angular is a big framework, but you don't need to learn everything at once. A relatively small part of Angular is what you will use every day. So the course focuses on that part first, and introduces each concept only when you actually need it. Every lesson builds directly on the previous ones, and every line of Angular code in the final application is code that we write together. If you're learning Angular for the first time, coming from another framework, or haven't looked at Angular in a few years, this is the course I would recommend starting with. 👉 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀 (𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) 🔗 angular-university.io/course… I hope you enjoy the course, Vasco Angular University

I’m very happy to announce that Angular Router In Depth (Signals Edition) is now fully available! Angular Router In Depth (Signals Edition) 🔗 angular-university.io/course… About This Course The Angular Router is the skeleton of every Angular application. It determines how the application is structured, how pages load, how data reaches components, and how users navigate through the product. But once you move beyond basic routes and navigation links, the router is also one of the least understood parts of Angular. This new course changes that. We start with an application that has no routing and progressively implement practically every routing scenario you are likely to encounter in a real Angular project. The course includes 43 lessons and almost five hours of video, covering topics such as: ➤ Lazy loading with loadComponent and loadChildren ➤ Route parameters, resolvers, and component input binding ➤ Authentication, child-route, exit-confirmation, and feature-flag guards ➤ Route-scoped providers and services ➤ Navigation state, transient information, and advanced URL handling ➤ Custom preloading strategies and router events ➤ Signals-based router APIs and view transitions ➤ Scroll restoration and navigation error handling ➤ Custom URL matchers and named outlets Everything is built with modern Angular, including standalone components, signals, zoneless change detection, and functional guards and resolvers. The course also includes a complete running GitHub repository. After completing the course, you can earn a verifiable Certificate of Completion that you can download as a PDF and add to your LinkedIn profile or CV. 👉 Start Angular Router In Depth Several lessons are available for free, so you can start watching immediately.

🚀 This week, you have a new hour of content for the ongoing  Angular Router In Depth (Signals Edition) course! 📖 The course is currently in pre-launch mode. New lessons are available weekly until the course is completed by the end of this month. Angular Router In Depth (Signals Edition) 🔗 angular-university.io/course… 🎥In this week's lessons we are covering most of Part 1 of the course where we cover the most used features of the Router. Part 2 will cover the niche and more advanced features. One the most important features are child routes, nested outlets and a master-detail navigation with detail to detail navigation. 📚About this course This is a complete, modern deep dive into one of the most powerful — and most underused — parts of Angular.💎 The Angular Router is much more than navigation between pages. It is the backbone of every Angular application, responsible for application structure, data loading, authentication, lazy loading, and much more. Yet most developers only scratch the surface of what it can do. ⚡️ Besides, the router is now fully integrated with signals. You don't have to use the legacy RxJs-based APIs anymore. In this course we'll explore everything from the fundamentals to advanced routing patterns using the latest Angular APIs: ✅ Standalone Components Signals ✅ Zoneless Change Detection ✅ Functional Guards & Resolvers ✅ Modern provideRouter() configuration We'll start with an application that has no routing at all and progressively build a production-ready routing architecture while covering both the essential concepts and the advanced features that are rarely explained in depth. 📖Some of the topics covered include: ✅ Lazy loading with loadComponent and loadChildren ✅ Functional guards (canActivate, canDeactivate, canMatch, canActivateChild) ✅ Route resolvers ✅ Child routes and nested outlets ✅ Route-scoped dependency injection ✅ Navigation extras (state, info, browserUrl, replaceUrl, skipLocationChange) ✅ Query parameter handling ✅ Custom preloading strategies ✅ Router events and navigation loading indicators ✅ Signals integration with the Router View Transitions ✅ URL Matchers ✅ ROUTER_OUTLET_DATA ✅ Navigation error handling ✅ Scroll restoration ✅ And much more. The course follows the same practical approach as my other Angular University courses: every concept is demonstrated by building real application features that you'll encounter in production. 🙏 I hope you enjoy the course, and as always, if you have any questions, I'm here to help. 🎉 Happy learning!

🚀 New Course Launched: Angular Forms In Depth (Signals Edition) 🎉 I've just launched a brand new course — Angular Forms In Depth ( Signals Edition) — that teaches you to build any form you'll ever need using the new Angular Signal Forms API. The course is fully complete, and I've used a new way of recording. Instead of typing, the code is progressively unveiled bit by bit. ✨ This makes the course signal-to-noise ratio much better. 😉 Go and check out the free lessons, and see for yourself:👇 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗜𝗻 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗵 (𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘀 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻) 🔗 angular-university.io/course… 📖 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 If you've ever wrestled with reactive forms, FormControl, nested form groups, or async validators, you'll want to see this. ⚡ Signal Forms is a complete redesign of Angular forms built around signals: model-driven, fully typed, and with a fraction of the boilerplate of reactive or template-driven forms. 🎯 By the end of the course you'll be able to: ✅ Build any form from scratch with Signal Forms ✅ Apply built-in, custom, and async server-side validators ✅ Create reusable custom controls that plug straight into the form system ✅ Handle conditional fields, cross-field validation, and dynamic arrays ✅ Integrate Zod via Standard Schema ✅ Ship production patterns: unsaved-changes guards, multi-step wizards, file upload with progress, and draft pre-saving 💻 We build it all through a single real-world sample app, with a running GitHub repo you can clone and follow along. 💙 Happy coding, Angular University 🌐 angular-university.io

🚀 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝟮𝟮: 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 — 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝗔𝗱𝘃𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗲𝘀 ⚡ ✅ 𝗦𝗶𝗴𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗔𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀 The model is just a signal, so everything else in the Angular Signals ecosystem works naturally alongside forms. You stop thinking "how do I connect my data to the form?" and start thinking in one unified model for the whole app. 🎯 ✅ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗱𝗲𝗹 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵 The form derives from the data, not the other way around. This eliminates a whole category of bugs where you'd update the form but forget to update the component state — and nothing would tell you something was wrong. ✅ 𝗡𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 Responding to field changes used to mean subscribing to value changes and manually orchestrating enable, disable, and validator updates. Now you declare the relationship once and Angular keeps it in sync. 🔄 ✅ 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 — 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 Because validators are plain functions, you can extract and reuse them across any form in the app. No special registration. No service injection. No ceremony. ✨ ✅ 𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗺 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘄𝗮𝗿𝗱 The old contract for a custom form control required four methods and careful lifecycle management. The new one reduces this to a single value input/output. 🎉 ✅ 𝗔𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 There is no special form array construct. Just use applyEach to define your array item form schema. Then add or remove items in your model signal and the form reacts. Again, the source of truth is the data, not the form. #Angular #Angular22 #SignalForms #AngularDev #TypeScript #WebDevelopment
