Getting the most out of Angular DevTools | Sam Vloeberghs
In this session, we’ll dive into Angular DevTools and how it can enhance your development experience. From getting started with installation and setup to exploring the interface, you'll learn how to quickly get it running and connected to your Angular app.

We’ll cover debugging techniques using the component tree, tracking state changes, and spotting binding issues. You’ll also get hands-on with performance profiling, learn how to identify rendering bottlenecks, and understand what the timeline panel is really telling you. A dedicated section on inspecting injectors will help demystify Angular’s dependency injection. Finally, we’ll wrap up with tips and hidden gems to help you get the most value from DevTools day to day.

Whether you're new to Angular or a seasoned developer, this session will give you practical, actionable ways to make Angular DevTools an essential part of your workflow.
