The ng-be and ng-Glühwein conferences highlighted modern Angular techniques, while the final Q&A covered httpResource and the new authoring format.
Ng-Be
The ng-be Belgium conference recently took place, and the recordings are now fully available online.
The keynote, delivered by Minko Gechev, Angular’s product lead, emphasized the importance of setting boundaries by saying "no" to certain features — a key success metric for the framework. The conference featured high-quality talks covering topics like Accessibility, Performance, Architecture, TypeScript, and even creating music with Angular.

Ng-Glühwein
In Vienna, the ng-Glühwein mini-conference also took place, and the livestream is now available on YouTube.
The event included 9 talks and a panel discussion. From the Angular team, Alex Rickabaugh discussed modern change detection, while Matthieu Riegler showcased signal-based Angular development that eliminates lifecycle hooks, making the framework more accessible for newcomers.
Q&A Session
The final Angular Q&A livestream of the year featured Mark and Jeremy answering community questions. Highlights included plans for an upcoming httpResource without RxJS, along with RxJS-less interceptors.
Jeremy also touched on the new authoring format debate, highlighting the advantages of avoiding the class-based "dead zone". Between constructor and ngOnInit, we cannot access property bound Signals. That can lead to confusion.
Green light for rxResource
Alex Rickabaugh shared on Reddit that, despite being experimental, he would already start using rxResource for new Angular applications — a strong endorsement for the feature. Read more here.
Lastly, ngx-translate appears to be making a comeback. Long a go-to internationalization library for Angular, it has seen renewed maintenance this year under Andreas Löw, who has been actively updating it to work with the latest Angular versions and keeping it relevant.

Angular 16, 17, 18, 19+
The new documentation now covers installation on
Angular 16+ and is divided into smaller, more readable sections, making it
easier to digest than this big README. It also documents the additional
interfaces and explains how to develop custom plugins.
This Demo project
contains 3 simple example projects for Standalone components, NgModules, and
how to use the message format compiler. The branches contain the same
projects for older Angular versions.
This documentation is still available for older versions of Angular. Newer
versions of Angular use Standalone Components by default, which are not
explained here.
