Reintroducing Angular with Angular v17 — Angular first appeared in the shape of AngularJS in 2010 and helped launch a wave of large-scale JavaScript frameworks. Angular remains popular in many use cases but is often overlooked in favor of newer options. v17 takes a leap forward in both features and vision, with the team rebranding Angular and repositioning it as a modern solution:

• Angular.dev is an all-new docs site and home for the project (the new guides look fantastic). It's in beta till Angular v18 is released – you can learn more about it here.
• Hydration is now production ready.
• Vite and esbuild are the default for new projects.
• Improved support for creating server side apps.
• New, improved built-in control flow to make code less verbose.
• Google pulled out all the stops for ▶️ the 'Special Angular Event' – an hour of talks, interviews and discussions to bring you up to speed.
