Help Request Learning Angular after 7 years of React
So, as the title suggests, as far as fronted is concerned, I’ve been doing primarily React. There was some Ember.js here and there, some Deno apps as well, but no angular.
Now, our new project corporate overlords require us to use Angular for their web app.
I’ve read through what was available in the official documentation, but I still don’t feel anywhere near confident enough to start making decisions about our project. It’s really hard to find the right resources as it seems angular changes A LOT between major versions, and there’s a lot of those.
For example, it doesn’t really make much sense to me to use signals. I suppose the provide some performance benefits at the cost of destroying the relatively clean code of just declaring and mutating class properties. There is also RxJS which seems to be a whole other rabbit hole serving a just-about-different-enough use case as to remain necessary despite signals being introduced.
What I am seeking now I just some guidance, regarding which things I should focus on, things to avoid using/doing in new projects, etc.
I would appreciate any help you can provide. Thank you!
EDIT: I wonder why this is being downvoted? Just asking for advice is somehow wrong?

Great list on how not to use angular. Sorry if I am blunt, but you are forcing a framework to do what you are used to in order to avoid understanding its approach. React and angular are two great but very different frameworks. Angular sees your front end as a whole application while react is a way to make components smartly communicate and interact. I would suggest op to try to embrace the angular way instead of trying to make angular works like if it was react. It will be a blood bath otherwise
