This workshop focuses on modern, long-lived Angular architectures and the key developments shaping frontend engineering in 2026. You'll learn how Signals, the Resource API, NgRx SignalStore, and Signal Forms work together to enable a reactive architecture, combined with proven concepts like vertical architectures, feature slicing, and enforceable architecture rules.

A special focus is on AI-assisted frontend engineering: how to make architectural decisions explicit, how to provide the right context through rules, skills, MCP, and hooks, how to evaluate modularization with AI and architecture tools, and how to use deterministic checks as guardrails for Coding Agents.

For this, we not only focus on the APIs but also place a strong emphasis on the underlying concepts. We discuss how the principles of good reactive design, modularization, and maintainable frontend architecture can be implemented with modern Angular, both with and without AI assistance.

Labs

All labs can be completed in the traditional way or with AI assistance, using rules, skills, MCP, and hook-based deterministic checks to keep the architecture under control.

Target Group

Developers with Angular experience who want to design and build modern Angular solutions that remain maintainable in the long run, and who want to understand how AI-assisted development changes the way we define, enforce, and evolve frontend architectures.
