Angular is attracting a whole new wave of developers — people new to frontend, new to frameworks, or simply new to Angular itself. But most Angular content assumes you already know how it used to work.

This talk is an on-ramp to Angular as it exists today.

We’ll explore modern Angular concepts like signals, standalone APIs, and template control flow using simple language, visual metaphors, and real-world examples — without requiring prior Angular knowledge or historical context.

You’ll learn:

How Angular is structured at a high level
How modern Angular thinks about state and reactivity
What concepts matter first when you’re getting started
How to build confidence without learning everything at once
Whether you’re new to frontend development or just new to Angular, this talk is designed to help you feel oriented, welcomed, and capable of building some killer web apps with Angular.
