HeroDevs Sponsors Angular: The Documentary – A Story of Innovation, Struggle, and Revival

For over a decade, Angular has been one of the most influential JavaScript frameworks in web development. Its origins as a Google side project eventually led to widespread adoption, revolutionizing front-end development with two-way data binding, dependency injection, and declarative UI design.

Now, the full story of Angular is being told in Angular: The Documentary, produced by Honeypot.io. HeroDevs is proud to sponsor this film, which explores Angular’s meteoric rise, its controversial transition to Angular 2, and its recent resurgence as a top enterprise framework.
