As technology continues to advance, developers are constantly seeking out the best tools and frameworks to help them build robust and efficient web applications. Two of the most popular choices for front-end development are Angular and React. In this tutorial, I will share my opinions on Angular 18 and React 19, and discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each.
Angular:
Angular is a comprehensive front-end framework developed and maintained by Google. It provides a full suite of tools for building complex and dynamic web applications. Angular uses TypeScript, a statically typed superset of JavaScript, which provides better code quality and improved developer experience.
One of the key advantages of Angular is its feature-rich nature. It comes with built-in solutions for routing, form handling, state management, and animation, which makes it a great choice for large-scale projects. Angular also has a strong ecosystem and an active community, which means developers can easily find support and resources to help them build their applications.
However, Angular has a steep learning curve, especially for beginners. The framework is complex and can be overwhelming for developers who are just starting out. Additionally, Angular applications tend to be larger in size compared to other frameworks, which can impact performance.
React:
React is a lightweight front-end library developed by Facebook. It follows a component-based architecture, which makes it easy to build reusable and maintainable UI components. React is known for its simplicity and flexibility, allowing developers to choose the tools and libraries they want to use in their projects.
One of the key advantages of React is its virtual DOM, which improves performance by only updating the parts of the UI that have changed. React also has a large and vibrant community, with a rich ecosystem of libraries and tools that can be used to enhance and extend its capabilities.
However, React is not a full-fledged framework like Angular, which means developers may need to rely on third-party libraries for features like routing and state management. This can lead to fragmentation and inconsistency in the codebase. Additionally, React can be challenging for developers who are not familiar with JavaScript ES6 syntax.
In conclusion, both Angular and React have their strengths and weaknesses, and the choice between the two ultimately depends on the specific needs of the project. Angular is a powerful and feature-rich framework ideal for large-scale applications, while React is a lightweight and flexible library suitable for building smaller, more dynamic projects. Ultimately, developers should consider factors such as project requirements, team expertise, and community support when deciding which framework to use.
Mit deinen courses angular gelernt, danke Meister ☺️
It took me a while, but I finally landed an Angular Job. Coming from non technical space, the switch was kinda hard initially but thanks to your course in udemy, it became possible. Thanks Max, for making this happen! :')
Hello @Maximilian Schwarzmüller, you forgot to mention a very important point, that React 19 brings Compiler.
We don't need to explicitly write useMemo, useCallback and React.memo. It could bring a lot of performance improvements.
Hi Maximillian, do you hear about Qwik. Will be very interesting if you do a video about it.
Let's go Max! You one of the best.
React developers still need to learn OOP and to write proper code…. XD! by the way "public/private" and "typed returns" are serious business
hello please i want to learn a frane work but am co fused angular or react.
Wait, Seth Rogen does webdev now?
It is time to abandon React.
I go back to .NET.
Angular is not for everyone. And if you are an Angular dev, I know you're enjoying your own path 👏 I love Angular
Debugging is poor in angular. Any updates on this?
love you max u taught me Angular and i still using it, my favorite despite never touched react XD
I’m looking forward to the release of the new Remix framework
Yesterday I created a simple firstname/lastname form and Copilot suggested to prefill the form values with {firstName: Maximilian, lastName: Schwarzmüller}. Have never ever heard of this channel/person but here I am
Why haven't you delved into Blazor, its big and growing and of course the best.
I am deep and dirty into Angular 18 and I love it. My latest angular projects have already been configured to go zoneless. The new signals approach is awesome, imho.
Angular ❤❤❤❤
hi
I've been using Angular since 2020 and it's just getting better and better. There's work to be done, but they're listening and hearing the angular community and the feedback loop is really fast.
Also used React for some time, and I enjoy many other things, but I feel like the community has moved to the meta-frameworks and as time passes, react is being more of a commodity.
