Signal All the Things: httpResource and the Reactive Evolution of Angular | Rainer Hahnekamp
httpResource, introduced as an experimental feature in Angular 19.2, marks a fundamental shift in how Angular handles data fetching. Instead of relying on RxJS, Angular is moving fully toward Signals.
In this talk, we’ll take a broad look at httpResource and explore its full range of features — including declarative and imperative usage, eager fetching, built-in error handling, and practical real-world use cases.
I’ll also share the mindset the Angular team had when designing this feature.
Finally, we’ll look at how httpResource fits into Angular’s long-term direction — and what impact it will have on the way we build Angular applications in the future
Beyond the App Store: Building Engaging PWAs That Work Anywhere | Rohan Patil
The web is no longer just a fallback — it’s a full-fledged platform. In a world where users demand fast, reliable, and engaging experiences, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) offer the best of both web and native worlds. This talk explores how PWAs empower developers to build high-performance, installable, offline-ready apps using just web technologies — no App Store required.
