Understanding Change Detection in Angular and React
Thursday, July 29, 2021 - 6:00 PM UTC, for 1 hour.
Regular, 60 minute presentation
Room: African 70 & African 80
In my experience as a consultant I have debugged my fair share of weird state related bugs that end up boiling down to a misunderstanding of how change detection works in React and Angular. once I really dug into the libraries and learned exactly how change detection really works, and how it is triggered, I found it much easier to diagnose and fix bugs as the tickets came up. I would like to share this knowledge with other developers, because I feel like change detection is often taken for granted as people are learning new libraries and frameworks.
Prerequisites
