This week, I want to share the latest updates from ng-conf, which took place last week in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
The entire keynote is available to watch for free on Youtube.
I selected the highlights by topic below – you can click on each to get to that specific topic in the video recording:
- Introduction of Signal Forms: declarative, reactive forms powered by Angular signals.
- Launch of Angular Arya: headless accessibility directives allowing custom styling freedom
- Zoneless Angular: enhanced performance, smaller bundles, better debugging without Zones
- Incremental hydration and hybrid rendering: industry-leading partial hydration with configurable triggers
- Angular DevTools improvements: signal graph visualization, route insights, and Chrome DevTools integration
- AI integration: angular.dev resources, best practices prompts, and Web Codegen Scorer open source tool
- AI-powered developer workflows: agentic tooling automates styling and feature scaffolding within live apps
