Zama explains how this first chapter is geared toward beginners. In his book, Zama shows users how to use the whole platform. He covers PWA and how to create brand new projects from scratch.

MAS 094: Philip Fulcher
This week My Angular Story welcomes Philip Fulcher, Software Engineer at Hach. Philip gave his first talk at Angular Denver 2019 on Intro to Bazel with Bonnie Brennan Aaron wonders why despite years of developers experience, Philip never gave a talk at a conference before this year.
Philip and Aaron discuss some of the best practices of giving a talk at a conference,one of which is not running over the talk's time limit. They also talk about what it takes to get accepted to talk at a conference. Philip mentions he just submitted a proposal to give a talk in JSConf Hawaiʻi which takes place on February 5th-7th 2020 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
One of the interesting tips Philip shares about giving talks at conferences is how often times you will not be the person that knows the most about that subject in the room. But giving a talk gives you a chance for people to come ask you questions and therefore meeting people that you might collaborate or ask for advice from in the future.

AiA 258: Angular Architecture with Manfred Steyer
In this week’s episode of Adventures in Angular the panel interviews Manfred Steyer, the creator of ngx-build-plus and angular architecture expert and consultant. Ngx-build-plus is a way to extend how the CLI is doing its build. Manfred explains how ngx-build plus works in two different ways. The first is that it provides a partial webpack configurations file that merges with the webpack configuration that the CLI is using. The second, it provides a plugin with free methods that influence the CLI.
Manfred consults with companies on architecture, he explains that the main problem when people take a simple application and make it complex, big, with a lot of entities and forms. This makes it difficult to manage in the long term. He borrows ideas from domain-driven design to help these companies structure their applications.

From always having their screen background set to black to their generally toxic attitude that is disliked by the rest of the team, 10x developers are generally a reason for others to quit their job. The panel discusses why managers continue to keep these people on even though they affect the overall team production negatively and how they should be dealt with. Links

AiA 154: Angular Animations with Gil Fink
This episode of Adventures in Angular features panelists Ward Bell, Joe Eames, and Charles Max Wood. Special Guest Gil Fink is on the podcast this week to discuss Angular Animations. Tune in to find out more about this topic!
[00:01:05] Introduction to Gil
Gil is the CEO of Sparxys, which is a small consulting company that he owns in Israel. He has been working for Microsoft for nine years in web development. He wrote the book Pro Single Page Application Development. Currently, he is also speaking in conferences and consulting for companies in Israel.
[00:02:06] Introduction to Angular Animation
Angular Animation is a model that has been used since Angular 2.0. In the full version it received it’s own model and expanded from Angular core.

AiA 153: Conferences and Speaking
On this episode of Adventures and Angular the panelists are Alyssa Nicoll, Joe Eames, John Papa, Charles Max Wood. They discuss attending and speaking at conferences. Tune in to listen to their opinions!
[00:01:23] Benefits of Conferences
Joe believes that attending somewhere between two and four conferences is good for a developer’s career. The minimum should be attending one conference a year. Some companies believe that people are wasting time because they are taking time away from work. They are of the mindset that they could learn the same information from a video. But John looks at it as developers learning how to communicate. If developers use their time well, they can potentially solve problems and find ideas they have never heard of and can learn how to implement them at work.
John believes the benefits to the developer verses the company are different. Developers could meet a potential employer who would pay you more than your current…

[00:02:36] Can you really do VR with Angular?
Yes. VR is a different kind of API.
[00:03:07] Can you give a brief explanation of how Web VR works?
Web VR is currently an experimental API. It creates 3D experiences that interact using the gamepad API. Angular and Web VR work together by writing more declarative experiences.
[00:04:05] What do you mean by it being experimental?
Things are changing quickly. Not all browsers are implemented. It has to be enabled in Chrome, it can be enabled in Firefox, but not all other browsers implement it. A 2.0 Web VR version is being created, which will be similar to the version that is out now.

[00:02:02] Introduction to Mike Hartington
Mike is a developer for the Ionic framework. He helps people succeed on Mobile.
[00:02:40] What have you been working on lately?
Ionic is currently going through an investigative phase. They are moving things to a vanilla JavaScript state and web component based architecture.
[00:03:02] What do you mean by web component based architecture?
Throughout all different frameworks (such as Angular, React, Ember) and libraries have a similar concept of a reusable thing. It is a custom element they can ship, which becomes limiting. It only works in their specific framework because the API capability isn’t there. Ionic wants to make something that works in all frameworks.

[00:02:27] – Introduction to Uri Shaked
Uri is an Angular GDE from Israel. His Angular Story episode is here.
[00:03:21] – Introduction to Hardware with Angular
Angular allows you to build web applications that scale quickly. For hardware devices, you need some kind of interface. Instead of a button, you have a mobile app or web application. This is one place where Angular comes into play. Building control panels, etc.
You can do this with pure JavaScript or native mobile apps as well.
[00:05:20] – Does it run on the IoT device? or on the web?
It can do both. You can run Angular on a webserver on a Raspberry Pi or you can use Web Bluetooth to connect to the IoT device.
[00:06:45] – What are the advantages of using web technologies?
There's no hardware setup. And using…

AiA 147: Codelyzer and Static Analysis Tools for Angular with Minko Gechev
The week on Adventures in Angular features panelists Alyssa Nicoll, Shi Resnick, Lukas Ruebbelk, and Charles Max Wood. The special guest this week is Minko Gechev who is here to discuss Codelyzer. Minko is currently working on a start up. Angular JavaScript is the programming language that excites him the most.
How do you work in a start up and still have free time?
He tries to find an overlap between the work he's doing in the startup and work he does in his spare time. This is why he had previous work that was completely Angular (Angular Seed). This startup is more complicated because the overlap isn't as much.
What is Codelyzer?
Last year, he worked on the Angular Style Guide. He thought it was a good idea to have an automated way to verify a given project that follows the Angular Style Guide. He built on top of that and built Angular and provided similar style checks on top of templates, Ang…

This episode is a My Angular Story with Kion Stephen. He joined the Adventures in Angular Slack, where he was asked to be on the show. Listen to learn more about Kion and his story!
How did you get started programming?
Kion didn’t start programming in high school like most. In college, he studied to be an engineer. In his second semester, he took a programming course, which was his first introduction to programming. It was the only class that appealed to him. He left the degree and spent two to three years trying to figure out what to do next. During this time he taught high school chemistry and math. During this time he built his mom something in Access to help her organize her office. He also built the private school he was working for something to help track what classes students were taking. That really made him want to begin programming. He found a degree that focused on computer information systems after that.
How did you get from that to doing web deve…

When he finished that semester, he talked to advisor about switching to Computer Science. Immediately landed into JavaScript. Chris talks about having a ‘clicking moment’ while in a topics class. A classmate was talking about NodeJS and so he tried it out and hasn’t stopped using it since. W…

He was offered a class that taught how to make Flash games and he took the class and made a few games, which he mentions were most likely awful. His game was an infinite runner with a robot. It taught him the basics like loops and storing variables.In his class he realized that as long as he understood some of the key concepts, he would be able to h…

Before Aaron got involved with Javascript or Angular, he worked as a loan officer, and he wasn’t the best at it. Luckily his job exposed him to small bits of SQL. Aaron goes to say that SQL “was like speaking English”. In 2010 he shifted into development. At the time, most web developers hated Javascript, so anytime they could pin Javascript work on him they would. Aaron loved it. College Dropout
Aaron decided to go to college to learn programing, mainly as a means to an end. His goal was primarily to get a job. After finding the job, he dropped out of classes. Aaron says that he was confused by why he was st…
