The Modern Angular Playbook
Modernize a production Angular app on purpose: not all at once, never as a rewrite.
Written for experienced Angular developers and tech leads who need to decide what to adopt, what to spike, and what to leave alone in a mature codebase.
You get both PDFs by email, through the Dojo IA list.
01 / Decision
Stop guessing what to modernize
Angular keeps shipping: Signals, zoneless, Vitest, v22. The hard part in a production app is not learning each feature. It is deciding which ones earn a place in your code now. The playbook turns that into a clear call for each one: adopt it, spike it, or wait.

- 03
An adopt / spike / wait matrix for mature codebases.
- 04
Eleven modernization plays across Signals, RxJS, zoneless, Vitest, SSR, MCP, WebMCP, and patterns.
- 05
A 30-day modernization plan with audit, low-risk alignment, controlled spikes, and ADRs.
- 06
A review gate and anti-pattern list for keeping modernization out of rewrite territory.

Who it is for
Good fit
- Experienced Angular developers who already maintain production code.
- Tech leads deciding what belongs in new code, what needs a spike, and what should wait.
- Teams with Angular 2-15 era applications that need a modernization map, not a rewrite campaign.
Not a good fit
- Beginners learning Angular from zero.
- Teams looking for a complete course or a release-notes digest.
- Anyone expecting a mandate to migrate everything at once.
04 / Version
Version status
The playbook maps Angular v16 through v22, and every version-sensitive call points back to the official Angular docs below. When the stable line moves, the playbook moves with it.
05 / Companion
Pair it with Angular Moderno
The playbook is the short decision guide. Angular Moderno is the book that rebuilds the mental model behind those decisions. Start with the playbook, and reach for the book when a call needs more weight.

Want help applying this to your codebase?
If you run a mature Angular app, I work with teams to turn the playbook into a reviewable plan: audit, adoption matrix, controlled spikes, ADRs, and rollout calls.

Questions before downloading
Is this a full Angular course?
No. It assumes you already know Angular and need a decision guide for a production app.
Which language will I receive?
Both. Pick English or Portuguese, or keep them both.
Does it cover Angular v22?
Yes. It tracks the v22 line and points every version call back to the official Angular docs, so you can verify anything before you act on it.
