An exciting new feature is coming to Angular: signals! Starting in Angular v16, Angular developers can leverage the power of signals to create more reactive applications. Signals provide a new way for our code to inform our templates (and other code) that our data has changed, offering more granular control over how and when updates are propagated and improving change detection.
So, what are signals? Why would you want to use a signal? How do you create, read and change a signal? And how do you define a computed signal? Watch this video for details and a demo of these cool new features!

* As of Angular v17, .mutate is no longer an option. Use .update instead.
