As a result, this would be the number 1 skill I&#8217;d recommend for an Angular team lead or solo coder because it will allow you to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angulartraining.com\/daily-newsletter\/angular-release-schedule\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">upgrade often<\/a> and never stay out of touch with the framework.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On a side note, being (or becoming) the developer who takes the initiative to create a branch and upgrade Angular to a newer version will make you indispensable at work, which is the best thing for career advancement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another idea, if your work project is up-to-date, is to start <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angulartraining.com\/daily-newsletter\/category\/angular\/signals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">introducing Signals<\/a> or the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.angulartraining.com\/angular-17-new-control-flow-syntax-4fbec4772d04\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">new control flow syntaxes<\/a>. This will achieve the same result as a complex upgrade: Your colleagues will be more reliant on you for all things Angular, which elevates your status in the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your current work project seems helpless, challenge yourself with a side project, which could be one of my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.angulartraining.com\/angular-certification.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Angular certifications<\/a> or even the <a href=\"https:\/\/angular-training.getlearnworlds.com\/course\/angular-accelerator-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Angular Accelerator program<\/a>, where you&#8217;ll build a brand new app with Angular 17 through challenging yet realistic exercises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So that&#8217;s what I would recommend: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1) Take charge at work and try to upgrade existing apps (or introduce modern features such as Signals into them if you&#8217;re already up-to-date)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) If achieving any of this in your work projects seems impossible, try to do so by working on open-source projects, certifications, or a series of exercises similar to the <a href=\"https:\/\/angular-training.getlearnworlds.com\/course\/angular-accelerator-program\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Accelerator program<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The number one impediment I&#8217;ve seen over the years for Angular developers to grow with the framework is that they&#8217;re stuck with an older version of Angular at work and can&#8217;t use any of the modern features of Angular 16 and 17, for instance.
