Dive deep into the latest trends and challenges in the development world. Lucas, Armen, and Subrat Mishra are joined by a special guest,  Rakia Ben Sassi, a Google Developer Expert in Angular. 

In this episode, they explore the complexities and potential benefits of adopting Zoneless Angular and discuss the critical updates in Angular 18, including improved composability for micro frontends and interoperability with other frameworks. They also cover the technical barriers and performance issues associated with Zone JS, and how its removal could significantly streamline your development process.

They delve into the practical considerations for server-side rendering (SSR) and client-side rendering (CSR), offering a hybrid approach that could be beneficial for large applications. Rakia shares some fascinating use cases, including an e-commerce application example, to illustrate the real-world impact of choosing SSR versus CSR.

They touch on the new features in the Angular Forms API, including a discussion on the new observable for form control events, and its relevance in complex applications.

Finally, they wrap up with some promotional content, where Armen talks about his upcoming book "Modern Angular," Lucas highlights Top End Devs' tech podcasts, Rakia promotes her blog and video courses, and Subrat invites you to check out his YouTube channel.
