Charles Max Wood leads the conversation about how to stay current on all the stuff going on in technology and Angular. Given the pace that things move at in technology, it's impossible to stay up on everything. Chuck shares his strategies for staying on top of the things that make a difference in your career.

Michael Hladky rejoins the Adventure to have more discussions around performance and the push pipe. He jumps in and explains the let directive and leads into the other ways of managing changes in your Angular apps.

Jérémy Bardon joins the adventure to discuss how to reuse code in Angular. Specifically, the discussion covers reusable components and goes into improving code with them.

Stephen Cooper joins the Adventure to discuss the ngTemplateOutlet, how it's used and where you'd add it to your application. It allows you to put a template into place where you have the outlet so you can specify what to put into the spot you have the template in and then specify the variables that it uses. This allows you to have a custom template for a specific item.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen joins the Adventure to continue discussing testing Angular and with Spectacular and to finish the discussion on testing routing in Angular.

Daniel Kreider joins the Adventure to discuss some of the things that are slowing down your front-end app. He also dives into the handful of things you should look at first in order to make sure that your application is running at top speed.

Michael Hladky joins the adventure to discuss how he's gotten a 60% performance increase using push pipe and related techniques. Many developers can get by without this technology, but Michael explains how to pull the push pipe into your code and what that looks like compared to Zone.js and the default stack in Angular.

Lars Brink joins the adventure to discuss how he tests routed Angular features using the RouterTestingModule. He explains what it is and why it's not as well documented as it could be. The panel then takes him through testing other parts of an application using Spectacular and other tools to make sure that Angular applications behave as expected.

Joaquin Cid is an Argentinian developer who has built a plugin for NGXS state library that allows developers to connect to Firebase and have their queries automatically import into NGXS. Further, it also allows them to define actions that will update their datastore when triggered.

Chuck dives into the 3 essentials for getting the next successful outcome you want in your career. Whether that's something simple like a raise or something more complex like going freelance, you can achieve it by working on 3 main areas.

Tarang Khandelwal found himself in the unenviable position where he needed to be able to dynamically choose which component to load dynamically. He did this by passing in a string key that determined the component that would load in its place. However, given that not all components and component signatures are the same, this is more complex than it seems. Tarang explains to Chuck what this entails and why you might need a setup like this in the first place.

Chuck explains what he taught Nathan last week when we asked how to get hired at a FANG (Facebook Apple/Amazon Netflix Google) company. Essentially, it boils down to how to build the skills and knowledge needed to pass the interview. How to build the relationships to get into the door and have the interviewer want you to succeed. And how to build the reputation that has the company wanting you regardless of the outcome.

Andrei Gatej joins the adventure and discusses some less well known features of the Angular Router with Charles Max Wood. They walk through some of the features of nesting routes and how to debug issues when your routes don't bubble up the tree the way you expect. Andrei also explains how redirects and router outlets might not have been what Chuck thought they were.

Freddy Montes joins the adventure to discuss how he and his team manage state in their Angular components. Many development teams instinctively reach for a solution like ngrx when they're building their angular apps and start seeing complex state. However, there's a lot of boilerplate and it's often overkill for small to medium apps. Freddy talks about his journey into managing state for his components using observables and basic state libraries.
