Talk
AI-powered Angular Apps
Artificial intelligence has become part of our daily lives. For software developers, it also opens new opportunities when writing or refactoring code. In this talk, however, we focus on runtime support for Angular frontends powered by AI.
How can a new micro-frontend be discovered and integrated with the help of AI?
How can routing be extended through natural language, with the navigation bar updated accordingly?
How can new views be seamlessly integrated into an existing application?
The combination of generic programming, micro-frontend architectures, and large language models (LLMs) opens the door to a new world of software development – one where applications can be extended in specific areas without requiring deep technical expertise.
This talk is aimed at software developers, architects, and technical managers who want to explore how artificial intelligence and web-based enterprise UIs can work together.

Workshop
In this interactive workshop, we use Angular's latest features to build a modern and maintainable architecture for large applications. We start with a sustainable project setup using Nx with Module Boundaries and Sheriff.
We continue with integrating Signals that will shape the future of the framework and leverage the new Resource API including the httpResource for establishing a reactive design. Then, we use the brand-new NGRX Signal Store to establish modern and lightweight state management patterns.
In the end, you will know how you can use the individual tools to design modern and, above all, long-term maintainable Angular architectures.
What’s new in the Fall 2025 Edition?
✔️ Using Forensic Analyses for investigating the “healthiness” of your architecture
✔️ Strong focus on reactive architectures with Signals and the httpResource
✔️ Strong focus on state management patterns with the NgRx Signal Store
