Modern web development faces several challenges, particularly when building scalable, maintainable, and high-performance applications.

As applications grow, managing complex user interfaces and ensuring efficient data handling and modular code structures becomes increasingly difficult.

Angular is a TypeScript-based web framework developed by Google. It's component-driven and

designed for building single-page applications with a strong emphasis on modular architecture

and performance optimization. Angular scalability, maintainability, and built-in features like modular

architecture, typescript support, and robust tooling have made it popular

for enterprise applications. Jessica Janiyuk is a staff software engineer at Google, where she

works on Angular, which just hit version 19 late last year. In this episode, Jessica joins the show

with Josh Goldberg to talk about the Angular project. This episode is hosted by Josh Goldberg, an independent full-time open-source developer.

Josh works on projects in the TypeScript ecosystem, most notably TypeScript ES Slint,

the tooling that enables ES Slint and prettier to run on TypeScript code.

Josh is also the author of the O'Reilly Learning TypeScript book, a Microsoft MVP for developer

technologies, and a live code streamer on Twitch.

Oh, thank you for having me.

Thanks for coming on.

I'm excited to talk to you. You do a lot of

cool stuff in and out of Angular, but just to wind things back a bit, how did you get into coding?

Oh, gosh, that's a really good question. So I got into coding probably back in the 90s, which is showing my age. But with my first family's PC, I started playing with

Q Basic, which came with Windows back then. I don't know if it still does. And learned batch commands

and messed up our computer quite a few times, but discovered I had a knack for it
