When he graduated from college, he didn’t have a very high GPA so got an internship at a startup so he could learn web development. He then re-applied to Hyland after developing himself as a programmer for 4 years, and got a job as a developer. Chaz believes the key to being a good programmer lies in adapting it as a lifestyle. Being a member of the developer community, following podcasts and watching YouTube videos regularly will help a programmer be better. Finally, Chaz talks about how he got into Angular, projects he struggled with and how he got through them as well as what he is working on currently. Links

Host: Charles Max Wood Guest: Adrian Fâciu Episode Summary In this episode of My Angular Story, Charles hosts Adrian Fâciu, a system architect from Romania working for Visma Software. Listen to Adrian on the podcast Adventures in Angular here. Adrian got interested in coding through playing video games in high school. He took coding classes in school but believes that for developers, school only teaches problem solving skills. Real life coding skills are improved by talking to other developers and by trial and error. For example, when he was tackling a particularly difficult project at work, he started attending JavaScript meetups in his local community to connect with other developers. Adrian was able to gain experience in Angular by switching to a different project at his company. He believes that when developers feel stuck, they should communicate this to their employers because most companies will give them chances to work on different products in order to keep them employed. Aside from coding, Adrian also writes blog posts on Angular In Depth. Links

Charles also recommends sending them a Starbucks card and then asking them for coding advice over virtual coffee. For people who cannot afford a computer science degree in university, Juan recommends online courses or programs that do not charge a tuition but take a percentage of the paycheck upon employment after graduation. Juan offers many more tips on how to start a programming career and how create and run programming communities correctly. Links

Chuck and Sharon talk about how she got into programming, her education, career highlights, and more! Check it out. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:41 – Chuck: Say “hello!” You were on episode 2 back in the day! 1:16 – Chuck: Can you tell people what you are up to? 1:19 – Sharon: The Angular landscape has changed quite a bit in the past 4 years. I am still using Angular! 1:37 – Chuck: It’s nice to hear people’s backgrounds and their thought process. Let’s talk about your story. To start out how did you get into programming? 2:03 – Sharon: I have a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts. The web wasn’t a thing, yet, and it wasn’t an option. 4:04 – Chuck: How did you go from there to Angular and JavaScript? 4:12 – Sharon: I have a soft spot in my heart for Code Fusion. I did Code Fusion and PHP and that paid the bills for a long time. In the mid-2000’s that some of this stuff was going away and the idea of “old is new.” What is going to be my evolution of a developer? The frameworks (at this time) were starting to mature. 8:01 – Chuck: You run an Angular Meetup, so how did that get started? 8:05 – Sharon shares her story. 9:25 – Chuck: I would like to find a group that does this or that – and people find their niche and get together. If it grows great – if not then you begin some great friendships. I would like room for more intimate Meetups. 10:18 – Chuck. 10:23 – Sharon. 10:27 – Chuck: You spoke at NG-Conf in 2014 and what are your tips for people who want to speak at these conferences. 10:50 – Sharon: Get experience talking in front of large audiences before the ACTUAL conference! Also, start with Meetups! 12:29 – Chuck: Just the practice of building good habits and making sure that you are really prepared. Don’t they offer coaching now? 12:45 – Sharon: Yep! 12:53 – Chuck: What other things have you done with Angular? 13:01 – Sharon: I have been mostly in applications. Then I moved into educational technology. 13:55 – Chuck: Yep I identify with that a lot – getting a better career, making a better life for yourself, etc. 14:15 – Sharon: Yep! 15:34 – Chuck: I have seen things like Common Core and seeing what my kids are doing in school. 16:00 – Sharon: Most of the criticisms that people have about Common Core are... 16:35 – Sharon: I have been working in the educational space, too, yes! I have been here for 3 years now and I have “tenure” in technology. 17:18 – Chuck: What are the things that you are most proud of? 17:21 – Sharon answers the question. 19:37 – Chuck: We have shows on React, Angular and others. It’s interesting to see how people are assessing these things. 19:56 – Sharon: Yeah the landscaping is so different from not that long ago! 20:10 – Chuck. 21:03 – Sharon: Yeah our management is using version 6. I am going to do it and not tell them. 21:35 – Chuck: Anything else that you want to shout-out about? 21:37 – Sharon: How you get answers to questions will shift in your life. Learning how to ask a question well is underestimated – it’s an art. What to provide, so you know exactly what to provide to him/her. 22:21 – Chuck: Yeah my brothers 22:47 – Sharon: My father told me the same thing: you need to speak well and write well. No matter what field you are going into. Also, empathy and soft skills are great skills to have, too. 23:35 – Chuck: It is easy to work on the technology b/c it’s either right or wrong. 23:48 – Sharon: I would love to see people wanting those skills within job posts. 24:20 – Chuck: I agree!

He has a degree from KU in computer engineering. They discuss how Joel made a career change in his mid-thirties and hasn’t looked back since! Listen to today’s episode to hear more about Joel’s background and current projects! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:51 – Chuck: I am talking with Joel – introduce yourself, please! 1:00 – Joel: I am an Angular developer on the front end. I am employed with a company and working on a new app that has to do with security. I am building the front end to that product. I was studying computer engineering at KU, and Angular is my favorite. 2:00 – Chuck: How did you get into programming? 2:04 – Joel: I have always been fascinated with computers. I struggled with mathematics and science in primary school and so I steered away from those topics; therefore my first degree is English literature. Then I fell intro IT support accidentally. Back in 2006 I went through my 2nd layoff in my career. My friend asked whether or not I would go back to school, so I did! I went to get my engineering degree and relocated to KU. It took 9 years to get my 2nd degree, because I was working fulltime. When I was graduating I talked to an instructor; he mentioned JavaScript at that time. It was exploding in the world at that time. Then I got my first job downtown Kansas City. I haven’t looked back ever since. Have you heard about Knockout? I don’t get the impression that Knockout is popular anymore? (Chuck: No it’s not popular anymore.) I learned Angular and what I like the most about it is that I love how flexible and robust it was/is. 6:32 – Chuck: You found JavaScript and then found Angular – first people to get to Ionic from Angular. How did you get to that point? 6:54 – Joel: Good question! I was fairly new to that job. People already had exposure to it throughout the team/team members. 7:57 – Chuck: How was your transition from Angular 1 to Angular 2? 8:04 – Joel: I was never married to it. I do think that Angular 2 was a major step-up for me and was an important change that needed to happen. It was based on the same concepts. 8:39 – Chuck: What work in Angular are you most proud of? 8:42 – Joel: I think the application I am working on now b/c it looks THE best! Among other things, too. I volunteer through an organization that puts together tech projects for local governments. I got involved with them b/c I wanted more real world experience. It revolves around city streetlights. 11:03 – Chuck: Yeah, Code for America I’ve heard before! Sounds neat! 11:18 – Joel: I would recommend it especially if you are trying to break-into the field. I think community outreach is honorable and it shows initiative. 12:06 – Chuck: Yeah I need to put this into my Get A Coder job 12:23 – Joel: I have met coders within this realm and it’s a great networking opportunity! 12:35 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 12:37 – Joel: WordPress development! 13:46 – Joel (continues): Most lawyers don’t have a website b/c they don’t want to dabble with the technology. 13:59 – Chuck: Cool! I think it’s important to note that your 1st degree was literature and you went back to school. For my mom she went back, too. Were you older than the other students? 14:35 – Joel: I have a lot of things that went my way, which I was very blessed. The law firm that I worked for they had a huge support for people getting their degrees. They also gave me the flex hours, too! I am glad that I had that set-up and I know I was extremely blessed to have that support. It’s hard for people to work fulltime and to go to school – it’s definitely a challenge! I am stoked about veterans getting into the coder field and people with diverse backgrounds into this field; it’s very neat! 18:23 – Chuck: How old were you when you made that career change? 18:36 – Joel: In my mid/late thirties! 18:39 – Chuck: People think that they CAN’T go back to school b/c they are too “old” – when that’s not the case! I encourage people to give it a shot. 19:33 – Joel: There is never a better time to get into this work than now. 20:39 – Chuck: Where can people find you online? 20:45 – Joel: At my website – Stringly Typed!

I’m excited! 1:02 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 1:10 – Guest: I spent 2.5 years at https://auth0.com and learned a ton there. I was doing some side work and then figured out I had to focus on one thing or the other. Now I have been a consultant fulltime and also teaching, too. AngularCast.io I teach there. 1:56 – Chuck: Sounds like people are excited about GraphQL. I’ve been there, too, and make a similar decision. 2:19 – Guest: It was a hard decision b/c I liked all of my colleagues there. I always had the itch to be self-employed. 2:42 – Chuck: You figure out of it’s for you or not. 2:51 – Guest: Yep! I am happy to be another year of it. 3:00 – Chuck: I went free-lanced about a year ago b/c the decision was made for me. 3:29 – Guest: I am grateful for it. 3:40 – Chuck: Yeah, we talk about this a lot on one of my podcast platforms. If you can make a connection with people then you’ll be god. 4:07 – Guest: Yeah I had to figure out if I would have to focus on the marketing side of things or not. Right now the projects are coming to me – right to my front door, which is great! It’s this ever-expanding web. 4:55 – Chuck: Yeah where people tend to show-up. Let’s talk about your story! How did you get into programming? 5:30 – Guest: It was a little less typically at the time. I was fully self-taught. I went to school for a somewhat Geography degree. It got boring for me at some point. I had to do one programming course while in school and it was in Java. I was terrible at it and I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. It didn’t help that the instruction wasn’t great. I was terrible I didn’t understand a thing. I was scared that I was going to fail the course. I came out of there feeling like I didn’t have the chops to be a programmer. I was doing Geomantic-stuff. I learned that the further you get into this programming stuff you would make better money – better job, etc. I was trying to put this map/graph into a website and it said that I had to learn Java. This time, though, the material was taught to me in these small increments. I got into it more and I was more attracted to the idea of programming. 10:00 – Guest continues. 10:32 – Guest: I was learning Angular and JavaScript better. 10:35 – Chuck: Yeah it makes you think through it. You have to go deep. 10:47 – Guest: I would make a sample packet. I would get to certain points and get to a point and I couldn’t explain what I did. I would get to a roadblock and I couldn’t explain it. I would be on this tangent for a while and have to figure this out. I was working with the government, at this time, but I thought: maybe I could try this programming thing for a while. Did you go to NG Vegas conference? 12:20 – Chuck: Nope. 12:25 – Guest: There is this conference in Las Vegas – I am going to go and hang out with people. At this conference I met some important people. This company posted that they needed someone and I thought: this is the job for me. I sent an email – went to an interview – and did an example. I got the job and freaked out because I wasn’t a “real” programmer. I wrote some content for them and it’s been all good. 14:07 – Chuck: Let me back-up real quickly. How did you find Angular? 14:18 – Guest: It’s hard to pinpoint the “moment” I had found Angular. As I am learning through Code Academy I am reading articles and stuff. I heard about Angular.js and watched some online tutorials and watched all of the talks from the conference. I thought that I needed to learn it b/c it was pretty popular at the time. I knew how to write JavaScript, but made me clearly see with Angular.js app I had to back up and learn it. 15:34 – Chuck: Yep! 16:05 – The guest mentions Hacker News among other things. 16:22 – Chuck: Angular and Electron is what we brought you on for – is that what you are doing? 16:36 – Guest: The guest talks about his experiences with Angular and Electron. 18:26 – Chuck: Let’s backup some more – didn’t sound like you worked with a lot of tech companies right? 18:51 – Guest: Yep that was my only one. 18:57 – Chuck: I hear a lot of complaints from people having this imposter syndrome. You only being in the industry for a short amount of time – how did you overcome the imposter syndrome? 19:34 – Guest: Imposter syndrome has been an issue for me – I wasn’t crippled – but it’s debilitating. “Who am I to teach on this subject?” – but I think I’ve made conscious efforts to ignore that and to use it as a little bit as fuel. I remember, man, of being scarred! I remember being terrified to see the online comments – b/c they are going to “know” that I don’t know what I am talking about. Funny thing is that I had a lot of positive comments. Little-by-little, those positive pieces of feedback were good for me. I thought: At least I am helping people (like I said, little-by-little!). I think there has been a part of a loop there. If you can look for that feedback it can help overcome imposter syndrome. The things of value are the things that scare you. 22:41 – Chuck: Yeah, I talk about this all the time to people. I have been self-employed for 8.5 years. I am not going to starve. If I had to, I could go and find a “normal” job. 23:20 – Guest: I agree. One piece of feedback that I got from a colleague is that she said: you are very resourceful! Knowing that it helped b/c it was a boost of confidence. If I had this capacity of being resourceful that helped me make my decision. It wasn’t a good time in the sense that we just had a baby. If it went south then I could always go back and get a “normal” job. 24:43 – Chuck: Yeah we talk about that in Agile development – the further you go the more information you get. 24:58 – Guest. Yep 25:03 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 25:07 – Guest: I’ve had a few large clients these past few years. I have current projects going now one is with a museum. I am speaking at a few conferences – one of them was in San Francisco and Prague. Now I am planning for next year and figuring out what my teaching and speaking plans will be.

He is a developer who uses JavaScript with Angular and Node and he does screencasting at https://angularcasts.io They talk about...https://angularcasts.io They talk about Ryan’s background, his current projects, and getting over imposter syndrome! Check it out! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/ 0:47 – Chuck: Today our guest is Ryan Chenkie! 0:55 – Guest: Hello! I’m excited! 1:02 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 1:10 – Guest: I spent 2.5 years at https://auth0.com and learned a ton there. I was doing some side work and then figured out I had to focus on one thing or the other. Now I have been a consultant fulltime and also teaching, too. AngularCast.io I teach there. 1:56 – Chuck: Sounds like people are excited about GraphQL. I’ve been there, too, and make a similar decision. 2:19 – Guest: It was a hard decision b/c I liked all of my colleagues there. I always had the itch to be self-employed. 2:42 – Chuck: You figure out of it’s for you or not. 2:51 – Guest: Yep! I am happy to be another year of it. 3:00 – Chuck: I went free-lanced about a year ago b/c the decision was made for me. 3:29 – Guest: I am grateful for it. 3:40 – Chuck: Yeah, we talk about this a lot on one of my podcast platforms. If you can make a connection with people then you’ll be god. 4:07 – Guest: Yeah I had to figure out if I would have to focus on the marketing side of things or not. Right now the projects are coming to me – right to my front door, which is great! It’s this ever-expanding web. 4:55 – Chuck: Yeah where people tend to show-up. Let’s talk about your story! How did you get into programming? 5:30 – Guest: It was a little less typically at the time. I was fully self-taught. I went to school for a somewhat Geography degree. It got boring for me at some point. I had to do one programming course while in school and it was in Java. I was terrible at it and I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. It didn’t help that the instruction wasn’t great. I was terrible I didn’t understand a thing. I was scared that I was going to fail the course. I came out of there feeling like I didn’t have the chops to be a programmer. I was doing Geomantic-stuff. I learned that the further you get into this programming stuff you would make better money – better job, etc. I was trying to put this map/graph into a website and it said that I had to learn Java. This time, though, the material was taught to me in these small increments. I got into it more and I was more attracted to the idea of programming. 10:00 – Guest continues. 10:32 – Guest: I was learning Angular and JavaScript better. 10:35 – Chuck: Yeah it makes you think through it. You have to go deep. 10:47 – Guest: I would make a sample packet. I would get to certain points and get to a point and I couldn’t explain what I did. I would get to a roadblock and I couldn’t explain it. I would be on this tangent for a while and have to figure this out. I was working with the government, at this time, but I thought: maybe I could try this programming thing for a while. Did you go to NG Vegas conference? 12:20 – Chuck: Nope. 12:25 – Guest: There is this conference in Las Vegas – I am going to go and hang out with people. At this conference I met some important people. This company posted that they needed someone and I thought: this is the job for me. I sent an email – went to an interview – and did an example. I got the job and freaked out because I wasn’t a “real” programmer. I wrote some content for them and it’s been all good. 14:07 – Chuck: Let me back-up real quickly. How did you find Angular? 14:18 – Guest: It’s hard to pinpoint the “moment” I had found Angular. As I am learning through...]]>1970falsefullMAS 062: Travis Tidwellhttps://topenddevs.com/podcasts/my-angular-story/episodes/mas-062-travis-tidwellhttps://twitter.com/softwaregnome?lang=en (Dallas, TX) who is CTO and co-founder of https://twitter.com/form_io?lang=en Chuck and Travis talk about his background, open source struggles, and more. Check it out! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:00 – Advertisement: https://devchat.tv/get-a-coder-job/ 0:49 – Chuck: Welcome! We had you on https://devchat.tv/adv-in-angular/aia-125-api-powered-components-for-severless-applications-with-travis-tidwell/ A lot has changed huh? The nice thing, though, about these changes is that we seem to be tackling different problems. 1:42 – https://github.com/travist They are stabilizing on the same on the same design patterns. I think that’s refreshing. Back in the day, everyone had their own way of doing it. It was difficult to find which one is the RIGHT one. 2:05 – Chuck: Yes, I agree. Gives us your background, please! 2:20 – Guest: I am still doing Form IO, and the co-founder and CTO of the company. My Angular Story is MY story on how the company evolved. 3:05 – Chuck: How did you get into programming? 3:09 – Guest: I am going to be 40-years old in May! I am getting up there. Everyone who I am talking to (in my age) it seems like we have the same story. We have this story of having that REALLY old computer. Parents bring home the https://www.ibm.com/us-en/?ar=1 or the http://oldcomputers.net/c64.html and that really is my story. At the time, the only thing you could learn with it was to program – there weren’t any video games, etc. A book that I geeked-out about was: https://www.amazon.com/DOS-Dummies-Dan-Gookin/dp/0764503618 The guest talks about his senior year in college and how he came to fall in-love with programming. 6:28 – Guest: After college, I got a job for working for a company that used http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/ code. People ask: How the heck did you get into Web? My background, too, was tap dancing and in the arts. Most people don’t know that. I was giving these tap lessons to kids – and around that time YouTube was just for cat videos. At the time, I thought it would be great to teach these tap video lessons online. I found a CMS at the time that would help me with my teaching intent. https://www.drupal.org/about took me into the frontend libraries. PHP is a backend language, and https://www.drupal.org/about was based entirely on PHP. There was this huge paradigm-shift within my career. I really got into these tools not knowing that it would change my career. My open source has taken me to tutorial videos. Eventually, a light bulb went off and I found a solution that needed to be solved within Angular. 12:21 – Guest. 12:28 – Chuck: I love the side hustle description: I saw a need out there and we solved it! 12:40 – Guest: Side hustle is great to talk about. Open source is a bit of a struggle (at that time) it was really hard to maintain open source and providing for your family at the same time. Open source is hard b/c you work your butt off, but you aren’t getting paid for it. It’s really, really difficult. I’ve had ups-and-downs actually with open source. You have to get innovative with it. I am really big on and supportive of people who are monetizing off of open source. 14:58 – Chuck: Open source – for me – I got burned out in June. Sometimes you are putting in a lot of time and not seeing any benefit from it. You have all of these things and something changes, something is different – I can’t take another night not seeing my kids. 16:06 – Guest: You have this original motivation as an open source developer – and you build something rally cool. You share with the world, but a lot of people don’t realize the tail of it. Come to realize it worked well for you – but not for everyone! It makes your stock price go out – contributing to open source – especially if you have a popular open source library. Most of the jobs I would apply to I would just give them my https://github.com repertoire. People are figuring out ways they can support themselves and monetize. The ones that can figure that out don’t burnout. 19:44 – Chuck: https://github.com/hzoo https://www.patreon.com/henryzhu 20:08 – Guest: How does he do it? 20:20 – Chuck: It’s mostly contributions. 20:35 – Guest: I see that you are on https://www.patreon.com I urge people to go there and help support those open source people. It’s such a great thing and it’s becoming a trend. That’s one thing that drew me away from https://www.drupal.org b/c at the time it had this negative connotation of monetizing on your open source. The spirit of the open source is THAT. It gives support to open source folks in order to provide for their families. 22:00 – Chuck: I talk a lot with Eric through https://codesponsor.io It’s important to know these options. 22:24 – Guest: That is my road of open source and in creating IO. 24:01 – Chuck: You are the CTO and not the CEO. How did you wind up and forming IO? 24:15 – Guest: There were a lot of pain points. It all started with the prototype. The guest talks about the background. Travis mentions https://angular.io/api/forms/FormBuilder among other things. 30:00 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 30:05 – Guest: The Vanilla Core Renderer! It doesn’t care what framework it gets attached to. We are working on a new template engine. 31:55 – Chuck: I wish I had more time to code. 31:58 – Guest. 33:08 – Chuck: How can people find you? 33:10 – Guest: https://github.com/travist https://www.youtube.com/user/travist349 https://twitter.com/softwaregnome?lang=en 34:56 – https://www.freshbooks.com/?adgroupid=51893696397&campaignid=717543354&crid=285105591548&dv=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw9ygzoDB3gIVD0sNCh2zHQSlEAAYAiAAEgIltfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&ntwk=g&ref=ppc-fb&source=GOOGLE&targetid=kwd-298507762065 END – https://www.cachefly.com Links:

Give us an introduction, please! 1:05 – https://www.jamesshore.com I have been involved with the software industry since 1991. I have written a book and it’s fairly evergreen. 1:30 – Chuck: Yeah, I remember that’s when the Agile development was getting really, really hot! 2:09 – James: Yeah in the early 2000s there was this energy to do software really well, and it seems like it’s turned into this bureaucracy. I find that to be depressing a tiny bit. 2:50 – Chuck: Yeah, I agree. 3:01 – James: Going back to a perspective where excellence is no longer the priority; excellence in your craft. 3:31 – Chuck. 3:34 – James: Yeah that was Bob Marten. James talks about the Agile movement. 4:22 – Chuck: This show is a walk back throughout your story. Let’s talk about HOW you got into this stuff. 4:40 – James talks about his background. 4:58 – Chuck talks about his Grandpa and his experience with technology when he was young. 5:10 – James: ...it had a whopping 2K of memory! That’s really how I got involved into programming. Later on I got a Trash 80 then an Apple 2, so I had programming in through my blood. 6:01 – Chuck. 6:08 – James talks about switching between computer and antenna, and his black and white T.V. He also talks about the electrical engineering program at the university. 7:16 – Chuck: I studied ad received my computer science degree. 7:28 – James. 7:34 – Chuck: You have been in the industry since 2001 and you are a bit older than me. 7:50 – James: My first job was in 1994. Then I wrote some things with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet was this early online form thing. Sort of like Used Net / Used Groups (online bulletin web forms) via the telephone dial-up. They were hobbyists running this out from their home. It was basically chat forms. Once you have some experience (doesn’t matter your degree) – it’s...have you done this before? 9:30 – Chuck: This is RIGHT in-line with what I say in my eBook that I am developing now. 10:00 – James: I didn’t even post that I was looking for a job, but I got very lucky. 10:15 – Chuck: What is your journey look like and how did you get into Agile development? 10:30 – James talks about his Kickstarter, knowledge in JavaScript, programming experience, and more here – check it out! 13:16 – Chuck: How did you get tohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_software_development development? 13:31 – James: I was programming throughout my teens. I was working on a really complicated project. I still play Dungeons and Dragons (D&D). It was the most complicated program that I built at that point. I had it in my head and then I didn’t understand it anymore. The program collapsed. To me that was really transformative b/c it’s not writing the algorithms but how it all works together. Then this taught me how to communicate the design to the other members on the team to make it work. 15:50 – James: Have you heard of https://searchmicroservices.techtarget.com/definition/Rational-Rose? You don’t hear about it anymore b/c it was a complete flop. 17:20 – Chuck: Wow! 17:33 – James: It was actually detrimental to get it done. It really was a crisis of faith. I ran into this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_Modeling_in_Color Extreme Programming is mentioned, too, by James’ coworker! 21:10 – Chuck: It’s so interesting to me. We focus so much on the technological side, we forget to talk about the people, and the other sides to this. It’s easy to overlook this other stuff. 21:47 – James: There is so much silver bullet thinking within this industry. The original communication from person-to-person is so crucial. It’s so important to software development. Ultimately, the computer doesn’t care, but the collaboration is the real trick and the real challenge. 23:10 – Chuck talks about his brother and his computer science courses experience. 24:27 – James: It could be that 1 team could solve a problem but nowadays it’s working with multiple teams. People want to water things down to help facilitate – but don’t do that. There is a huge large scale Agile that is large interdependent teams. 25:19 – Chuck: https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast that I am listening to now. He says that nobody wants to sit down and dictate what each member will be responsible for. Chuck reads a quote from an episode from https://andyfrisella.com/blogs/mfceo-project-podcast – check it out! 26:54 – James: It’s something that people have lost track of. I still program daily even though I do this Agile stuff as well. I have been programming for 25 years and Extreme Programming was the most effective thing for me throughout my career. James: I think XP is the time (now) to have a comeback! 29:41 – Chuck: That was my experience, too. We pushed one team to go to Agile, and then we went to our boss. Chuck: We’d sit down every two weeks and have an Agile-Perspective (what is working and what isn’t working). We are talking about HOW we are writing the software, and that is really what we are after. 30:54 – James: You are building the TEAM that builds the project. Of course, you need to have consistencies across the team, and every team is different b/c every member has different personalities. Mod Programming is we are going to work as a whole group around a screen. Personally, that is not my style but I would TRY it. If it worked for that team then I would do it. 32:00 – Chuck: That is the beauty of it. With this set of programmers x, y, and z may or may not work, and that is O.K. 32:25 – James: I heard about Extreme Programming and I thought it was nuts!! 32:40 – Chuck. 32:44 – James: The more I tried it, and the more it worked. Try Extreme Programming b/c it’s totally a different experience. It’s myhttps://www.amazon.com/Art-Agile-Development-Pragmatic-Software-ebook/dp/B00F8QCK0E/ref=mt_kindle?_encoding=UTF8&me=&qid=1541462025 that I wrote 10 years ago but it still is applicable today. Try it for a few months (3 months) or so, b/c it takes time to figure out the different terms and such. Go try out a bunch of new different things, but figuring out HOW to make it work for me. 34:05 – Chuck: Yeah, you need data. Look at the data. Go experiment. 34:47 – James: Try it for real. Check out this essay: “We tried baseball, and it didn’t work.” James: Many things only work in context! What we do is we change the context in Agile. 35:58 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 36:00 – James: I am actually working on AgileFluency.org. It’s a set of tools for coaches and leaders to CHANGE their context. How can you find those constraints and invest on changing those. 36:31 – Chuck: Where do they go to find you? 36:40 – James: My website - it’s the ugliest website, but it’s been working since 2003. 36:54 – Picks! 37:05 – https://www.freshbooks.com/?adgroupid=51893696397&campaignid=717543354&crid=285105591548&dv=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIw9ygzoDB3gIVD0sNCh2zHQSlEAAYAiAAEgIltfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&ntwk=g&ref=ppc-fb&source=GOOGLE&targetid=kwd-298507762065 END – https://www.cachefly.com Links:

That kind of makes me famous in the community. 1:50 – Chuck: It’s the library that... 1:58 – Jia: Yes that is correct. 2:19 – Chuck: Let’s rollback a little bit and talk about your journey into programming? 2:32 – Jia: My major is not Computer Science it’s Communication. My first job, my classmate introduced me to a company that had 5 employees, which was a software company. About 15 years ago, back in China, they were using old software. The founder is using new technologies. So this is cool. That’s how I entered into the development world. 4:15 – Chuck asks a question. 4:22 – Jia: My focus, at the time, was the frontend. 5:10 – Chuck: How did you get into Angular? 5:12 – Angular, React, and jQuery are mentioned by Jia. 6:20 – Jia: We did a big project for 1½ years with a huge team of 500 people. We used...to build the applications. 6:51 – Chuck: How was the transition from Angular to Angular 2? 6:58 – Jia: At first the company had some reservations b/c everything is new. Jia talks about an architect of the company and the knowledge that he offered, at the time, to help. 8:17 – Chuck: You have contributed to Zone.js. People think that they have to be a genius in order to contribute. How did you start contributing to it? 8:44 – Jia: Between Angular 1 to Angular 2 was about a few months in-between. Jia continues to talk. 9:28 – Jia: We get a request from the client and get a certain zone. Each request is managed. Jia talks about his contributions to Zone.js and how he offered his insights, in the beginning, during his spare time. 12:12 – Chuck: This is a project that is used across thousands of Angular applications. And here we are talking about your journey to this open-source. You started off with a bug fix and this leads to helping with code, and finally you are one of the major contributors now! People think they cannot contribute to open-source b/c they aren’t a “genius.” They think that they “aren’t that good.” 13:16 – Jia: I never thought I could do it – meaning contributing to open-source work. I thought you had to have very strong coding skills, but it’s really just starting with the first step. True, you need to start with the code, but you don’t have to have a very strong background. I didn’t have (at the time) a strong JavaScript background, and look...I was able to do it! If you really love it – you can contribute to it. 15:11 – Chuck: You fixed a bug b/c you were using it. There is a difference between people writing it vs. people who are using it. You were fixing a bug b/c you were actually using it. “It should work this way under these circumstances.” If you are using the library then you will find those bugs. 16:35 – Jia: Yes, exactly. Some people are using Zone.js, but they don’t know what it does. 17:24 – Chuck: What are you currently working on now and/or what are you proud of? 17:29 – Jia: I am still working on the Zone.js project. I just changed my job a few months ago. I am starting a startup company to help with technological solutions. I am working (right now) on frontend. It’s very interesting to do some Cloud stuff. 18:50 – Chuck: Where can we find you? 18:55 – Jia. 20:50 – Chuck: What social media platforms do you use? 21:00 – Jia: Twitter! Blog! Jia talks about his current proposal that he is working on. 24:20 – Chuck: Let’s go to Picks! 24:26 – Fresh Books! 25:30 – Picks END – CacheFly Links:

He has worked with many different frameworks, but he and Chuck talk in detail about Angular. Finally, they discuss Lars’ programming background and the current projects he is working on. Check out today’s episode to hear more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:53 – Guest: Hello from Denmark! 1:00 – Chuck: My great, great, great grandmother is Danish. Introduce yourself, please. 1:20 – Guest: I have been working through various companies through my career. I have focused on frontend development and right now it’s Angular and before it was Angular.js and others. I have been developing C# and started off with PHP. So I really enjoy frontend development the most. 1:58 – Chuck: I am talking with https://twitter.com/EisenbergEffect?ref_src=twsrc%255Egoogle%257Ctwcamp%255Eserp%257Ctwgr%255Eauthor in a few days. 2:04 – Guest: From what I’ve heard he’s a great guy. He worked on the Angular router. He branched out to Greater Zone. 2:28 – Chuck. 2:38 – Guest. 2:45 – Chuck: His episode will come out in 2 weeks! Tell us about you – what got you into programming? 3:00 – Guest: It started when I was 5 years old. My brother and I broke 3-4 computers before they bought us a Nintendo set. That was my first dive into it. Then I went to PCs and back in 1999 I wrote my first website with Notepad. Then later I decided to make a career out of it and studied in college. Then started developing full-stack. 4:53 – Chuck: You mentioned Knockout, Angular.js, and others. What have systems have you built in the backend? 5:03 – Guest: Yes, PHP in the beginning. Then I moved onto... (Guest continues answer Chuck’s question.) 6:30 – Chuck: What was about Angular that you liked? Why did you choose that framework? 6:47 – Guest: I got to choose the frontend framework (at the job I was at), and I chose NOT to use Angular. At the time, I thought it was confusing and overwhelming. Ember was stronger for me back then. But then later I got the opportunity to work with it in my current job, and now I am enjoying it. It’s always a challenge. 8:48 – Chuck: Seeing that transition and like that. I am curious though – what features do Angular have that Knockout and others don’t have for you? 9:08 – Guest: We used Coffee Script back then. Do you know it? 9:36 – Chuck: Yep I know it. 9:45 – Guest: I remember studying typescript, too. Coffee Script removed a lot of the stupid errors. 11:22 – Chuck: I think typescript is the way to go. 11:57 – Guest: It helps with those stupid errors that people make once in a while. It’s a type language. 12:45 – (Guest continues.) 13:14 – Chuck: Making the transition from Angular to Angular.js – what process did you go through? 13:25 – (Guest answers. He talks about starting from scratch to learn the new Angular.) 14:08 – Guest: I wouldn’t want to go back to Angular.js. There is so much to learn about Angular and working in-depth with it, there are still new things to explore every day, it’s a large framework. I guess that’s part of the reason why people use React and other frameworks b/c it can be overwhelming, especially for beginners. I enjoy it now b/c I read it now as a native tongue / native language. That’s what I see now, but that’s not what you see at first b/c there are so many new syntaxes. React is mostly JavaScript. 17:22 – Chuck: What features do you like about Angular over Angular.js? 17:28 – Guest: It’s the performance – it’s important! 18:20 – Chuck: What have you done in Angular that you are proud of? 18:24 – Guest: I am working on a few articles and I am about to release 2 of them. It’s a whole series. I am going to https://gotocph.com soon and I will be giving a talk. 20:17 – Cuck: What else are you working on? 20:23 – Guest: Yes, the articles. I am finishing those up. There will be 4-5 more in the series on that one topic. I want to focus on one topic at a time. There are 3 main concepts: container components, presentation components, and migration. Yes improving my talk for next month’s conference. I am building a small app, too. Working with new technologies and learning about offline apps and install the apps natively on most platforms now. We aren’t dependent on official App Store now, that’s a thing of the past now. 22:06 – Chuck: Where can people find you online? 22:16 – Guest: I have a few projects through GitHub. Find me there. (See links below.) Read my articles when they are published on Medium. 22:44 – Chuck. 22:48 – Guest: My first published articles will be at https://blog.angularindepth.com/@LayZeeDK 23:00 – Chuck: Picks! 23:04 – https://www.freshbooks.com/?adgroupid=51893696397&ag=%255Bfreshbooks%255D&camp=US%2528SEM%2529Branded%257CEXM&campaignid=717543354&crid=285105591548&dv=c&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhIm0z8uu3gIVk7fACh1niQUNEAAYASAAEgKeq_D_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds&kw=freshbooks&kwid=kwd-298507762065&ntwk=g&ref=ppc-na-fb&source=GOOGLE 27:13 – Chuck: What is the tech scene like in Denmark? 27:18 – Guest: You have to keep up the pace yourself b/c I live in a very small area. There are only a few cities in Denmark where the jobs are. I will go to Meetups and conferences and I am active on European Slack. That’s how I get to be social in the Angular community. I am mostly working at home. I have twin daughters who are 7 years old. I am mostly at the office, too, building and working there, which is 5 miles away from my home. 29:17 – Chuck: In the past episode I talked with someone from Bulgaria, it sounds similar to what you are saying Lars. I am curious are people willing to hire remote if they are outside of the city? 29:40 – Guest: It depends on the company. 30:25 – Chuck: Working remotely is definitely a skill. 30:44 – Guest: I have worked remotely for some jobs b/c I was driving several hours a day. 31:21 – Chuck: My longest commute was 30 minutes top, but I live in a heavy tech scene where I live. Do most people in Denmark know English? 31:5- Guest: My daughters have been speaking English since 3-4 years old b/c of iPads. They are also taught English and German in the school, too. 32:21 – Chuck: Anything else? Are there things that people don’t think about being a developer in Denmark? 32:40 – Guest: There aren’t that many big companies. It’s difficult to get into the right place. There are small companies in Denmark. 33:51 – Chuck: Does that change the way people find jobs in Denmark? 33:59 – Guest: If you don’t like to work for a bank then you have a problem b/c that’s half the jobs! If you don’t like certain industries that could make it harder to get a job as a programmer. 34:33 – Chuck: I am going to wrap this up – anything else? 34:44 – Guest: Create a blog post or start an open source project. That’s what I do when I get bored. When you teach a subject you have to be an expert to be able to explain it to someone else. 35:37 – (Guest lists the titles of his articles – check it out at this timestamp!) 35:50 – (Chuck discusses future episodes and future guests that he will interview.)

Chuck and Georgi talk about his background, past and current projects, and so much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:15 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:49 – Chuck: Hello! 0:53 – Georgi: Hi! 1:00 – Chuck: Introduce yourself, please! 1:08 – Georgi: I have been an Angular developer and love it every step of the way. 1:20 – Chuck: I stared talking to past guests of Angular, and I find that ½ the people are in the U.S. and the other places, too. Different places but what is your experience as being a developer in the other parts of the world are similar. 2:12 – Georgi: I got into programming but I didn’t want to be at a desk all day. I had some friends in the software industry and I liked what they had. In Bulgaria the people in the software industry they have a 2x or 3x standard of living. I really wanted to begin to try to get into software engineering. I didn’t have any technical background. I went to some interviews and I saw that I needed a lot of knowledge to gain. I learned about the https://www.telerikacademy.com is doing. They have a large academy and that year I learned a lot and I jumped to this opportunity b/c it seemed like magic. Someone is going to teach me how to be a developer and not charge me? I got into it and it was fun, challenging, and rewarding for me. I dropped my current gig and I went to being a developer. 5:14 – How long is the program at the Telerik Academy. 5:20 – Georgi: It’s about a year. Evenings and then you need to go fulltime. 5:45 – Do they teach you JavaScript? 5:50 – Georgi: Yes. Also, DotNet. Java was mentioned in 2011. 6:17 – Kendo UI have widgets for DotNet. 6:28 – Georgi. 6:35 – Chuck: What got you into JavaScript? 6:44 – Georgi: The previous job I had they used Angular. At that time I was doing...which is a service site rendered HTML. We were using some jQuery and Knock Out, I was learning about Angular and was interested. It was an Angular job and it was technically interesting. They talked about 3D rendering. At least that’s what I got from the conversation. Doing the job we got a few new hires, and they started a project in Angular. We learned from each other, and inspired by people like YOU, and from the Angular talks at conferences. I was inspired. 8:21 – You get into Java and Angular did you get into API? 8:31 – Georgi: Yes. 8:38 – I like how Microsoft names stuff. 8:47 – Georgi: I am listening to...if you have a cool project alias then the project name becomes WCF or something long and tedious. 9:09 – I love those guys. 9:15 – Georgi: I am listening to them b/c someone recommended them. They put the bar really high with their mood and content. 9:40 – Chuck: Carl owns a production company. They do a great job. 9:52 – Chuck: What was it about Angular that got you excited? 10:05 – Georgi: It’s similar to the backend stuff and people get into Angular g/c it’s similar to NVC. I got a lot of the documentation b/c it’s written well. At that time my daughter was 6 months old and I was reading her the Angular documentation. I really enjoyed that. Angular was brand new at that point and I didn’t have a mentor at that time. The learning experience was great, and the flow was fun for me b/c it was challenging. 11:33 – Chuck: The experience is good. 11:42 – How did you get your first programming job? 11:45 – Georgi: Basically out of the academy – 2 months out. The people believed in me and I am thankful. I was only 28 years old and I wasn’t the normal person. 12:22 – I got my first job at 27. 12:30 – A lot of people are transitioning. I did an episode with Tina from South Africa. She moved to England and then to the U.S. She has a Ph.D. in Physics and she transitioned into programming in her 50’s. People think: I am “old”, and it really doesn’t matter. 13:27 – Georgi: People complain while they are sitting down on their butts. I want people to know that you can do it. No matter your age or your experience. The coding knowledge will give you a lot of freedom in the future, because it’s doing magic. Everyone should learn how to code as a hobby in addition to your normal job. 14:55 – Chuck: It might be things like AI and how we interact on our devices. It will be a life skill what we consider to be mundane jobs at this point. 15:18 – Georgi: People say AI could take my job, but also AI will create jobs. 15:36 – Chuck: People theorize about this. Every time people advance in technology it does create more jobs. I worry about the psychology of here is money as a handout. 16:29 – Georgi: We get our self-respect b/c of what we accomplish in the job. Most of us work 8 hours with these certain people and these problems. It’s good to like and even love what you do. 17:00 – Chuck: What have you done with Angular that you are proud of? 17:05 – Georgi: Learning from scratch and learning the basics; eventually advancing my knowledge. Lately I have been going to Meetups and do a presentation there. The theme was... I wanted to contribute back to Angular, and my computer at home is PC. I had troubles with... I am an Angular contributor and I am proud of that. I am not a docker nor was I expert angular person, but here I am. 20:25 – Chuck: That’s what peoples mindsets are: I am not this___, I am not that____, etc. If you want a job and you are 90 years old – got for it. You don’t have to be a genius, but you can find something to contribute to the community. 21:17 – Georgi: We have a lot of Angular from my work, I wanted to give back some. Also, and make a name for myself. Again, it was fun and challenging and nice to do it. 21:44 – Chuck: Now that doesn’t hurt b/c you can put on your CV. 21:55 – Georgi: It only shows the top 100. I am not there, but oh well. 22:09 – Chuck: Every little piece helps. You know, it’s a good way to get involved and so much more. What are you working on now? 22:28 – Georgi: The project I am working on is not using Angular. Besides that I am doing a video course on functional C# and it’s a work in progress. 23:10 – Chuck: Anywhere people can find your course? 23:15 – Georgi: It’s less than 50% done, so no. 23:30 – Chuck: What’s it like being a developer in Bulgaria? 23:35 – Georgi: Bulgaria, has a higher living standard for the software industry. 24:55 – Chuck: Is most of the documentation for computers out there in English in Bulgaria? 24:58 – Georgi: No, not the general population speaks English. It does make it a tad harder to transition if you don’t know English. But some of the academies do 25:50 – Chuck: I was a missionary for LDDS in Italy and so my experience as the younger generation speaks English but not the older generation. 26:39 - Georgi: English is 2nd language in Amsterdam. 27:11 – (Chuck talks about international community and developers.) 27:38 – Our team was ½ and ½ out here in Bulgaria. We did meetings in English most of the time. 28:07 – Chuck: Are you located in Sofia? Georgi: Yes. 28:15 – Chuck: When you get outside of the city is there a programming community? 28:20 – Georgi: Yes, definitely. Again, though, it does change. When they graduate from the Telerik Academy... 29:27 – Chuck: I live in Utah and we are between NV and WY and CO. There is an area (North of Salt Lake City) that has a healthy tech scene. It depends on where you are in UT for a strong/weak teach center. 30:31 – Georgi: I would think the younger kids would like to do it and they need to do it here in the bigger cities. That is not unusual. 31:00 – Chuck: Yes, people pick up the skills and get hired and then they go and work remotely.

Chuck and Georgi talk about his background, past and current projects, and so much more! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 0:15 – Advertisement: Get A Coder Job! 0:49 – Chuck: Hello! 0:53 – Georgi: Hi! 1:00 – Chuck: Introduce yourself, please! 1:08 – Georgi: I have been an Angular developer and love it every step of the way. 1:20 – Chuck: I stared talking to past guests of Angular, and I find that ½ the people are in the U.S. and the other places, too. Different places but what is your experience as being a developer in the other parts of the world are similar. 2:12 – Georgi: I got into programming but I didn’t want to be at a desk all day. I had some friends in the software industry and I liked what they had. In Bulgaria the people in the software industry they have a 2x or 3x standard of living. I really wanted to begin to try to get into software engineering. I didn’t have any technical background. I went to some interviews and I saw that I needed a lot of knowledge to gain. I learned about the https://www.telerikacademy.com is doing. They have a large academy and that year I learned a lot and I jumped to this opportunity b/c it seemed like magic. Someone is going to teach me how to be a developer and not charge me? I got into it and it was fun, challenging, and rewarding for me. I dropped my current gig and I went to being a developer. 5:14 – How long is the program at the Telerik Academy. 5:20 – Georgi: It’s about a year. Evenings and then you need to go fulltime. 5:45 – Do they teach you JavaScript? 5:50 – Georgi: Yes. Also, DotNet. Java was mentioned in 2011. 6:17 – Kendo UI have widgets for DotNet. 6:28 – Georgi. 6:35 – Chuck: What got you into JavaScript? 6:44 – Georgi: The previous job I had they used Angular. At that time I was doing...which is a service site rendered HTML. We were using some jQuery and Knock Out, I was learning about Angular and was interested. It was an Angular job and it was technically interesting. They talked about 3D rendering. At least that’s what I got from the conversation. Doing the job we got a few new hires, and they started a project in Angular. We learned from each other, and inspired by people like YOU, and from the Angular talks at conferences. I was inspired. 8:21 – You get into Java and Angular did you get into API? 8:31 – Georgi: Yes. 8:38 – I like how Microsoft names stuff. 8:47 – Georgi: I am listening to...if you have a cool project alias then the project name becomes WCF or something long and tedious. 9:09 – I love those guys. 9:15 – Georgi: I am listening to them b/c someone recommended them. They put the bar really high with their mood and content. 9:40 – Chuck: Carl owns a production company. They do a great job. 9:52 – Chuck: What was it about Angular that got you excited? 10:05 – Georgi: It’s similar to the backend stuff and people get into Angular g/c it’s similar to NVC. I got a lot of the documentation b/c it’s written well. At that time my daughter was 6 months old and I was reading her the Angular documentation. I really enjoyed that. Angular was brand new at that point and I didn’t have a mentor at that time.

Today, they talk about Rob’s past and current projects among other things. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:40 – Chuck: Our special guest is https://twitter.com/EisenbergEffect?lang=en. We’ve had you on Adventures on Angular (https://devchat.tv/adv-in-angular/009-aia-ng-2-0-with-rob-eisenberg/ and https://devchat.tv/adv-in-angular/080-aia-aurelia-with-rob-eisenberg/), JavaScript Jabber, and others like https://devchat.tv/js-jabber/203-jsj-aurelia-with-rob-eisenberg/ 2:36 – Rob: That was over the period of 4 years all of those podcasts. I am getting older. 2:50 – Chuck: Anything that you’ve done that you want to talk about? 3:04 – Rob: I am known for opensource work over the years. Maybe we can talk about my progression through that over the years. 3:25 – Chuck: How did you get into this field? 3:29 – Rob: When I was 8 years old my dad wanted to buy a computer. We went to Sears and we bought our first computer. You’d buy the disk drive and the keyboard looking unit. You could by a monitor, we didn’t, but we used a black and white TV for our monitor. Later we bought the colored monitor and printer. That’s where my fascination started. We set up the computer in my bedroom. We played games. I got intrigued that you could write code to make different games. It was just magical for me. As being an adult engineer I am trying to go back to that moment to recapture that magical moment for me. It was a great creative outlet. That’s how I first started. I started learning about Q basic and other flavors of Basic. Then I heard about C! I remember you could do anything with C. I went to the library and there wasn’t the Internet, yet. There were 3 books about C and read it and re-read it. I didn’t have any connections nor a compiler. When I first learned C I didn’t have a compiler. I learned how to learn the codes on notebook paper, but as a kid this is what I first started doing. I actually saved some of this stuff and I have it lying around somewhere. I was big into adventure games. That’s when I moved on http://www.cplusplus.com and printed out my source code! It’s so crazy to talk about it but at the time that’s what I did as a kid. In JHS there was one other kid that geeked-out about it with me. It was a ton of fun. Then it was an intense hobby of mine. Then at the end of HS I had 2 loves: computers and percussion. I was composing for music, too. I had to decide between music or coding. I decided to go with music. It was the best decision I ever made because I studied music composition. When you are composing for dozens of instruments to play one unified thing. Every pitch, every rhythm, and it all works together. Why this note and why that rhythm? There is an artistic side to this and academia, too. The end result is that music is enjoyed by humans; same for software. I did 2 degrees in music and then started my Master’s in Music. I then realized I love computers, too, how can I put these two together? I read some things on audio programming, and it stepped me back into programming. At this time, I was working in music education and trying to compose music for gamming. Someone said look at this program called https://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/ I don’t know cause...how can you get any better than http://www.cplusplus.com In 2003 – I saw a book: teach yourself https://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/ in 24 hours. I read it and I was enthralled with how neat this was! I was building some Windows applications through C#. I thought it was crazy that there was so much change from when I was in college. 17:00 – Chuck: You start making this transition to web? What roped you in? 17:25 – Rob: I realized the power of this, not completely roped in just, yet. Microsoft was working (around this time) with... 19:45 – (Continued from Rob): When Silver Light died that’s when I looked at the web. I said forget this native platform. I came back to JavaScript for the 2nd time – and said I am going to learn this language with the same intensity as I learned C++ and https://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/ I started working with Durandal. 21:45 – Charles: Yeah, I remember when you worked with the router and stuff like that. You were on the core team. 21:53 – Rob: The work I did on that was inspired by screen activation patterns. 23:41 – Rob (continued): I work with https://www.invisionapp.com now. 24:14 – Charles: I remember you were on the Angular team and then you transitioned – what was that like? 24:33 – Rob comments. 25:28 – Rob (continued): I have been doing opensource for about 13 years. I almost burned myself a few times and almost went bankrupt a few times. The question is how to be involved, but run the race without getting burned-out. It’s a marathon not a sprint. These libraries are huge assets. Thank God I didn’t go bankrupt but became very close. The more popular something if there are more varieties and people not everyone is so pleasant. It’s okay to disagree. Now what are the different opinions and what works well for your team and project? It’s important to stay to your core and vision. Why would you pick THIS over THAT? It’s a fun and exciting time if you are 28:41 – Charles: What are you 28:47 – Rob: InVision and InVision studio. It’s a tool for designing screens. I work on that during the day and during the night I work on Aurelia. 30:43 – Chuck: I am pretty sure that we have had people from InVision on a show before. 31:03 – Rob comments. Rob: How we all work together. 31:20 – What is coming in with https://twitter.com/AureliaEffect next? 31:24 – Rob: We are trying to work with as much backwards compatibility as we can. So you don’t see a lot of the framework code in your app code. It’s less intrusive. We are trying next, can we keep the same language, the same levels, and such but change the implementation under the hood. You don’t learn anything new. You don’t have new things to learn. But how it’s implemented it’s smaller, faster, and more efficient. We have made the framework more pluggable to the compiler-level. It’s fully supported and super accessible. Frameworks will come and go – this is my belief is that you invest in the standards of the web. We are taking that up a notch. Unobtrusiveness is the next thing we want to do. We’ve always had great performance and now taking it to the next level. We are doing a lot around documentation. To help people understand what the architectural decisions are and why? We are taking it to the next level from our core. It’s coming along swimmingly so I am really excited. We’ve already got 90% test coverage and over 40,000 tests. 37:33 – Chuck: Let’s get you on JavaScript Jabber! 38:19 – Chuck: Where can people find you? 38:22 – Twitter, and everywhere else. https://aurelia.io/blog/ 39:17 – Chuck: Picks? 39:23 – Rob dives in!

Check-out this past episode with David. “Where to Store Angular Configurations” with Dave Bush. 2:13 – Chuck: We are here to catch your story. Let people know who you are. 2:27 – David: I have been in programming for 30 years. Recently in the .NET space, and also in the Angular space for 4 years. 3:02 – Chuck: JavaScript has been around for 20 years. How did 3:12 – David: I need to back-up a little bit. It’s unique. I wasn’t raised around computers. 3:43 – Chuck: We are having a microphone issue. 3:55 – David: I didn’t have access to a computer back in the day. By the time I got to college I knew summer camps and maintenance. Senior year the PC started making a break-through. I had friends who made computers in their dorm room. That looked really interesting. I mean build by soldering, and pretty hardcore. I went to engineering school. Senior year, but I went to school on a large portion of grants. It was too late to change my major. I worked for Radio Shack in Chicago. They encouraged us to bring things home. I brought these computers home and played with them. I got into Pascal among other things. I couldn’t get Pascal to work in my brain. Next, I learned C. If I cannot make C work then I will give up and do something else with my life. C was mathematical and that’s my brain. My wife encouraged me to go back to school – I went to DePaul through their Career Change Path. 7:14 – Chuck. 7:18 – David: It was similar to a boot camp. 7:43 – David and Chuck. 7:52 – Chuck: When did you settle on JavaScript? 7:55 – David: Settle. When the Internet became publically available and wrote my website through Notepad. David continues this conversation. 9:30 – Chuck: Are you primarily a Dot Net developer? 9:43 – David: Primarily; also, C++. 10:55 – Chuck: How did you get into being self-employed? 11:07 – David: That was the plan all along. When you are self-employed you have multiple bosses! I got fired from my last job and working with agencies. So I count that time as being self-employed then, too. In 2000, I switched to LLC and more direct contracts. 12:45 – Chuck: How do you find contracts? 12:51 – David: Started working for Bloomberg and then later they converted me to being an employer. It was attractive, so I am not an employee. 13:24 – Chuck: What things are you proud of and what contributions have you made within the community? 13:29 – David: The writing in my blogs. 14:20 – Chuck: How do you get into blogging – and how is it successful? 14:44 – David: Keep writing. Sometimes I think: this article will be awesome and it will fall flat. But then the times I don’t think it’s good those are the articles that blowup. You can’t tell. The other thing is you need to have a thick skin. 15:29 – Chuck: True with podcasting as well. 15:36 – David: You will never make anyone happy. You learn to read the comment for the content and not the attitude behind it. Take the value out of the content that you can. The blog is just for me. I write so I have some place to point my colleagues to. It’s for me to retrieve information. The blog really is for me. 16:56 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 17:00 – David answers this question. 19:07 – David continues the talk. David: I posted my book through GitHub and took it off of Amazon. A long-term goal of mine is... I am interested in functional programming, too. 20:41 – Chuck: That’s cool. I am a huge fan of making things accessible of where they are at. The Vue portion of Angular why couldn’t we switch that out. 21:08 – David: Dependency injection doesn’t mix well l with React. For all of my code, I put all my logic in... 21:45 – Chuck: How can people find you? 21:53 – David: LinkedIn is my best one. Twitter, GitHub, etc. 23:09 – Chuck: LinkedIn. Facebook I am more discerning because I post pictures of my children there. 23:41 – Chuck: Awesome – if people want to get your book? 23:50 – David: I will send you those links.

When you are self-employed you have multiple bosses! I got fired from my last job and working with agencies. So I count that time as being self-employed then, too. In 2000, I switched to LLC and more direct contracts. 12:45 – Chuck: How do you find contracts? 12:51 – David: Started working for Bloomberg and then later they converted me to being an employer. It was attractive, so I am not an employee. 13:24 – Chuck: What things are you proud of and what contributions have you made within the community? 13:29 – David: The writing in my blogs. 14:20 – Chuck: How do you get into blogging – and how is it successful? 14:44 – David: Keep writing. Sometimes I think: this article will be awesome and it will fall flat. But then the times I don’t think it’s good those are the articles that blowup. You can’t tell. The other thing is you need to have a thick skin. 15:29 – Chuck: True with podcasting as well. 15:36 – David: You will never make anyone happy. You learn to read the comment for the content and not the attitude behind it. Take the value out of the content that you can. The blog is just for me.

MAS 054: Rae Krantzhttps://topenddevs.com/podcasts/my-angular-story/episodes/mas-054-rae-krantz
Rae Krantz This week on My Angular Story, Charles speaks with Rae Krantz (Akron, OH) who works remotely with the Toll Wave company (Phoenix, AZ). She does Angular work there with a small team. She specializes in information technology and services. Rachel (Rae) and Chuck talk about Angular and how she got her amazing job through a Twitter connection! In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:30 – Hello! 1:35 – Rae, please give us your background. 2:25 – Chuck: Tina’s interview will go live later on another episode. It’s interesting How did you get into coding? 2:50 – Rae: I started on a course 4 or 5 years ago. I moved to Akron, Ohio with the WOMEN and TECH group here, and got involved with the group. Free code camp and so on. Through meeting this Meetup I found a new position. This led to Angular development. I enjoyed the DevOps, but this Toll Wave is awesome! I have been working there for 9-10 months. 4:45 – Chuck: Why Angular and not Vue or Java? 4:52 – Rae: I started a side project with Angular with friends. They had a strong view with Angular, because Angular dealt with a lot of security issues. Since then I am pretty solid on the Angular side. The React side, I guess, is cool. 5:53 – Chuck: People tend to go towards technologies that they can get help with. It makes sense why you went with Angular. Is there anyone specific that got you into Angular? 6:23 – Rae: I didn’t have a network at the time. The 2 people that got me into Angular actually weren’t developers. I started with Docs and the Heroes actually were a great resource. It covers these pieces that are necessary to know how it works. I used early on NG docs, too. 7:24 – Chuck: Actually that is organized by... 7:42 – Chuck: Getting your job is very interesting. I a m writing a book on how to find a job as a software developer. I see that people are struggling with this. What did you have in place to show them that you were capable for the job? 8:18 – Rae: The interview was very conversational. It wasn’t algorithm tests; nothing super fancy. It really got into the work I’ve done and my thought process. I appreciated that the interview was realistic. I can go back to other traditionally other interview were “tougher.” I had to do an algorithm test. I sat down and I was terrified for that. It was more “simple” for the entry-level people. The saving grace is if you are frozen – just talk about the process. They want to see how you would talk through the process – they want to see that. You just have to know people. This Twitter job happened because of a network effect. 10:19 – Chuck: Yes, very true. It is a lot easier to get a job that someone can just introduce you to the company then trying to do it all yourself. Creating those opportunities through the people you know. 10:56 – Chuck: What are you doing now? 11:01 – Rae: Financial management application. It’s secret right now. In my free time, it is very hard to push through one thing. The latest thing I have been doing lately is the Rust Programming Book. I have talked with my director that I enjoy Angular but I don’t want to do just frontend. He’s been really great about it. He’s talking with other program managers to get involved with other projects that are coming in. I have tried to look at React. I cannot make myself do it. If you are good at one, then why would you learn the other one? Only reason to learn React is if I want a React job. 13:12 – Chuck: People say to me that they want to stay current and also job availability. If my current situation changes then I can adopt any technology that they change to. 13:58 – Rae: I have been wanting to look at Vue. I don’t know anything about Vue other than the inventor of it. It would be fun to play with the differences. 14:42 – Chuck adds his comments. 14:50 – Rae: There are so many different things out there to learn! Different languages – it’s hard to limit myself to limited languages within a 40-minute talk. I spoke at the following conferences recently: 1.) Codemash in Ohio 2.) Meetups in Grand Rapids (Software Craftsmanship) 3.) Self Conference in Detroit (no recordings) 4.) Full Stack Fest in Barcelona – the best conference ever because it was so well organized. The attention to detail was amazing. 17:09 – Chuck adds his comments. Yeah we will encourage people to look into your talks! 17:24 – Rae: Neat! Rae talks about workshops and typical Meetups. Cleveland area – October 6th – learn how to code – it will be fun! 18:25 – Chuck: ngGirls.org 18:40 – Chuck: Any advice for someone getting into tech? 18:50 – Rae: Do it before you have kids. Your energy is at a low when you have kids and you don’t have the energy to work on the things you want to work on. If you don’t have kids then use your Netflix time now and STUDY! If I can get through a chapter a day – that is fantastic – with life with kids. I work through lunches a lot. I try to use my day care time with care. It’s great to be at a conference without a kid. 22:06 – Chuck: I have 5 kids. My oldest is 12 – so that is fine, but my youngest is 3. The way we do it is I travel more than my wife. She’s a trooper to take care of the kids. I send her on a trip to see her best friend in North Carolina. 22:52 – Chuck: People are paying attention to people have different circumstances. 23:06 – Chuck: The last thing I want to ask is anything you are looking forward to in the future? Where do you want to wind-up? 23:25 – Rae talks about her hopes and dreams. Rae: The puzzle aspect, I like. I like making things work together. The larger scope is what I like. In terms of the languages I take as they come. Rust, yes, I would like to use that a few years down the line. It’s funny – I would learn React if I had to use it. I want to get in-depth in a few areas of Angular. 24:43 – Chuck: Check out these technologies through these podcasts. I echo what you are saying on these 3 frameworks. I am having fun with Vue right now. It really depends on what you want and what you need. Go play with them all! Chuck talks about Vue, Angular and Java. 25:31 – Chuck: Picks! Links:

He works for a large consulting corporation who will remain nameless, and he lives in Harper, Connecticut. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 4:09 – Chuck: I would like to dive in. How did you get into Angular in the first place? 4:20 Guest: I was at a service desk in CT. One of my jobs was to open 75 different emails and make sure that it didn’t send an “error” message. I had to make sure nothing failed. That was boring. I used Auto Hot Key. That was fun, and did a lot of that there, which got me into programming. I had a Bachelor’s in Business. Went to get my Master’s in Computer Science, but took along time. Started doing IT recruiting. Then next thing you know I moved into my parents’ house and did coder camps. And that worked out. Then I got hired by the Charter Internet Company. Now I am in large consulting firm in CT. 6:40 – Chuck asks another question. 6:349 – Guest: When I was picking coding camps I chose the one that was teaching Angular. 7:30 – Chuck: What do you do in your spare time? 7:38 – Guest: I have 2 kids who are 4 years old and 1 years old. I have a really cool fish tank that has coral reef in it. 8:00 – Chuck: Which Angular project was your favorite? 8:09 – Guest: Ionic Project was a lot of fun. The app was already written and I was to convert it. In theory not change the backend. I had a lot of fun making that app. I love working with Ionic. 9:37 – Chuck: Ionic is going into other frameworks. 10:05 – Chuck: I have feelings about the show, The View. 10:37 – Chuck: what is your workflow in Angular? 10:44 – Guest answers question. Brooks mentions jQuery during this timestamp. 11:50 – Chuck: What is your involvement in the community? 12:00 – Guest: I participate in the Slack. Answer questions in there. 12:39 – Chuck: There are a lot of people in the background helping people out in the chat room. There is another person on the other end helping others. 13:06 – Guest: I could be doing CSS but I rather be doing this instead. I don’t mind answering any questions or prodding the person to get more information. “What are the steps to recreate it?” And my answer was... 14:09 – Chuck: I worked through Q/A for a while. And it is interesting. 14:25 – You don’t want to brush them off completely because they are obviously frustrated. 14:43 – Chuck: What are you working on now. 14:50 – Guest answers question. 15:03 – Chuck: Anything you’d like for people to know about you? 15:22 – Guest: I can make something up real quick... 15:30 – Chuck: How you are contributing is awesome, just thought to ask. 15:48 – Guest: I do enjoy helping out in the chat community.

Mike Hartington
Mike is an Ionic Developer Advocate. He's been a guest in Adventures in Angular (Episode 64 and 109) and Java Script Jabber, and he spoke in Angular Remote Conference. Tune in to My Angular Story Mike Hartington to know more about how he started in programming. His first dive in programming was simply out of necessity. He took Intro to Computer Science in high school where he did visual basic. He really didn't think of pushing it through college, and he was into craft design courses instead. When he had his last semester course on web design, that was the first time he went back into programming and web technology after high school. He fell in love with Flash before JavaScript. He found it to be so awesome because it's interactive and it's so much fun. When he got out of school, he did marketing and design at a company. One of the requirements were to do interactive product demos and create resources for sales team. They were provided with iPads to do the task, but Flash doesn't run in iPads. Being the case, he had to relearn JavaScript. When he got hired in a company as a designer working with developers, he initially that it would look great. But eventually he didn't want to do the job because it would take him forever. He also had this boss who was very much of a visual person. When he showed him something in the computer, he was asked about how that particular thing would work. Not having Sketch back then, he didn't have the newer UI mockup tools. He recoded all the interactions, and his boss was pleased. Being a designer before has somewhat been an influence to Mike's life as a programmer. He helps other developers handle issues and figure better solutions just like how a designer would do. The main goal of designing is producing an output that appears as if it's done the only way it should. In the end, the product would seem to a natural fit. Charles agrees with Mike's idea in how to solve a problem. Using API for instance, Mike doesn't want to think over about how to use it. He wants to keep things simple. The API should be materialized the way it should have been done. To hear the rest of My Angular Mike Hartington, download and listen to the entire episode.

Mike is an Ionic Developer Advocate. He's been a guest in Adventures in Angular (Episode 64 and 109) and Java Script Jabber, and he spoke in Angular Remote Conference. Tune in to My Angular Story Mike Hartington to know more about how he started in programming. His first dive in programming was simply out of necessity. He took Intro to Computer Science in high school where he did visual basic. He really didn't think of pushing it through college, and he was into craft design courses instead. When he had his last semester course on web design, that was the first time he went back into programming and web technology after high school. He fell in love with Flash before JavaScript. He found it to be so awesome because it's interactive and it's so much fun. When he got out of school, he did marketing and design at a company. One of the requirements were to do interactive product demos and create resources for sales team. They were provided with iPads to do the task, but Flash doesn't run in iPads. Being the case, he had to relearn JavaScript. When he got hired in a company as a designer working with developers, he initially that it would look great. But eventually he didn't want to do the job because it would take him forever. He also had this boss who was very much of a visual person. When he showed him something in the computer, he was asked about how that particular thing would work. Not having Sketch back then, he didn't have the newer UI mockup tools. He recoded all the interactions, and his boss was pleased. Being a designer before has somewhat been an influence to Mike's life as a programmer. He helps other developers handle issues and figure better solutions just like how a designer would do. The main goal of designing is producing an output that appears as if it's done the only way it should. In the end, the product would seem to a natural fit. Charles agrees with Mike's idea in how to solve a problem. Using API for instance, Mike doesn't want to think over about how to use it. He wants to keep things simple. The API should be materialized the way it should have been done. To hear the rest of My Angular Mike Hartington, download and listen to the entire episode.

Charles Max Wood

Special Guests: Joe Eames Joe is both into JavaScript Jabber and Adventures in Angular. Tune in to My Angular Story Joe Eames to learn more about his journey into getting where he is now. When he was 16, Joe had a class in high school which required him to go to the University of Utah. Everyday he took half day in high school and traveled to the university to attend class. Since he was up there, he thought that he needed a job to earn money for dates and stuff just like any other kids. He worked in a movie theater, but got suspended because he had an argument with his boss. He looked for another job, and landed onto one in the university where he was studying. He did data entry and dBase maintenance. That was his first programming job. When he turned 19 and graduated from high school, Joe served 2 years in LDS mission. When he came back, he worked in a restaurant for 5 weeks, but moved to Portland because of some knee problems. He spent 2 years there. When he came home, he needed a new job. He found a technical job in a computer company which did data entry. He got hired and was assigned in doing wiring and the like. One manager came to his manager asking for one programmer for a project. Since he was available and had a background on programming, he was recommended for the job. He was then handed with FoxPro books, and started reading them as a head start. He bought a couple of JavaScript books back then. Then there came an emergent technology which he found so cool and awesome called DHTML. Some people in his office were doing it, but he was confused about it. He kind of got it, but he didn't really do much with it. For years he has been doing dot net and programming. He got to the point where he wanted to do something different. He enjoyed doing web technology stuff, but he wanted to get heavier into JavaScript. He decided to leave everything and pursued his profound interest for JS.

He has been doing a lot of Angular in the last 3-4 years working as an independent contractor with many companies around the world. Tero also writes and speaks about his work. Tero has been doing a lot of Angular in the last 3-4 years working as an independent contractor with many companies around the world. Tero also writes and speaks about his work.Tero has his first introduction to programming when he was about 7 or 8 years old. He and his brother received a Commodore 64 computer which they used for mostly for playing games. On that computer was a basic interpreter and basic programming language which Tero played with a bit. He had some basic code language books for creating some basic adventure games. Tero would painstakingly copy that code but he really had no idea what code was about.In his early twenties, Tero took an internship for software development in 2001. It was in the middle of the big IT bubble. Good timing for Tero because IT companies were hiring everyone. His first stint was as a Java programmer. Tero was beginning a new project and was trying to decide what framework to use. The choice came down to Angular or Ember Backbone.Tero chose Angular because it was the most popular at the time and it felt safe to him.The data binding was intriguing to him. He had learned how to wire things together using Backbone to get model changes shown in the views and making it all work in a clean way. He jumped into Angular to do the same.To hear the rest of My Angular Story Tero Parviainen, download and listen to the entire episode.You can connect with Tero and see what he's excited about at the following links.

In addition, they discuss Angular, past and current business projects, and their picks. Victor is a co-founder of nrwl.io, providing Angular consulting to enterprise teams. He was previously on the Angular core team at Google, and built the dependency injection, change detection, forms and router modules. In particular, we dive pretty deep on:
Victor’s background.
Two of Victor’s past episodes on the “My Angular Story:”
Episode 42
Episode 123
When and how did you get into programming?
Back when Victor was in Russia and playing games.
This brought him to the idea that “I could build my own game” when he was a teenager.
Programming is hard and difficult, but also fun and enjoying.
There is a creative side to this.
State of flow.
How did you go from creating games with Flash to Angular?
Eventually ended up using Angular.
Victor prefers to use on the backend.
It’s interesting to see how things have changed, such as Data Flow and Business Logic. In what ways do you think it has improved?
Charles first got into programming it was Rails.
JavaScript sprinkles
Ember into Angular
Why does this feel much harder – because we are solving much more complicated issues.
Look at the tools we have today.

How did you get into Angular 14?

What contributions do you feel that you have made on the Angular team?

In writing Angular apps, Charles is curious, how is it different writing the framework vs. an app within the framework?

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 handle it.Soon he went out and just bought a book and after experiencing the code in action he got hooked. Managing memory in C Danny’s friend tried to teach him how to build a checkers game in C. He remembers the pains of manually managing memory. His feedback on malloc is that it’s one of his favorite words because it rolls off the tongue. Charles talks about how in college he had to design systems in VSDL with transistors and silicon. How do you get from that to JavaScript Development First job was at a swimming pool manufacturing company’s marketing department in West Virginia. He worked a lot in Dreamweaver until a man that started after him decided they were going to write all the markup and CSS by hand. From that Danny learned how websites were put together. He talks about a contact form that they wanted to animate. He knew that he could figure it out. He would use code snippets to figure out and build the animation. He started to do more and more JavaScript and teaching himself as much as he could. He did the CodeSchool JavaScript Road Trip. The first few episodes ease you into JavaScript and helps you learn where things lives. From that point he became obsessed with building things with JavaScript. Charles talks about how CodeSchool wasn’t around when he started. Modern code seem to be more complicated but it can be learned best by breaking it down into smaller bites. CodeSchool is good for that. Getting your start or foothold is the hardest part. It’s easy to skip over fundamentals. Charles talks about how that things like CLI came second nature for him and sometimes instructors dismiss that new students may get hung up on those sort of fundamental concepts and tools. Danny adds that there had been times where he would read articles on sites like StackOverflow that would be explaining something but even the baseline instructions has information in it that can something someone has skipped. Little pieces of information can really help pull things together. He talks about the dissociation that can happen for someone who only learned JavaScript and doesn’t know what CLI is and how hard it would be to explain the difference between JavaScript running in the browser and Node, or explaining what a package manager is, then a package , etc. Many people come into it not understanding any of it. He can remember copying commands into a terminal but not understanding what was going on. For learning JavaScript from a basic level, what do you suggest? Finding the beginner tutorials for stuff. CodeSchool is good, Code Academy as well. Do those first. Don’t skip it assuming you know too much to do them. After that just make something. From there you will figure out stuff that works and stuff that doesn’t. Twitter is a great resource for finding helpful people. Being in the environment helps to get exposed to the information. Mainly just write code. Charles mentions that people have grown to understand the concepts and lingo of web development by just listening. Danny also advises that if you learn the vocabulary before learning the concepts, you’ll be able to do things like Google your issues affectively as well as reading articles or talking with others. Complicated concepts end up be boiled down to single words. Ultimately you will need to be able to communicate with everyone on projects anyway. How did you get into Angular? While working at DualLink Digital, they started looking at a few different things, he started looking at Ember and found that he really enjoyed the concepts. One of his friends started messing around with angular and they started workshopping with it to make it work. Afterwards he started to like it, really the plain JavaScript objects. The more he worked with he, the more he started enjoying it compared to Ember. It’s interesting to see how people have moved from Backbone or React or Ember to things like Angular. One of Embers pluses is how large their community is. Charles talks about how the history of Ember is great and the people behind Ember are great. Also, the JavaScript community used to seem to have animosity against the different communities but now it’s more collaborative. Picking the right framework. Danny suggests that when trying to figure out what framework to go with, be able to describe in your own words why the framework you’ve picked is better. Making sure that you do understand the decisions that you are making is important. He uses the example of within the React community and the use of virtual DOM. There was a common misconception that the virtual DOM was faster than the regular DOM, which is just not true. Later the details had to be expressed to clear the misunderstanding. If you don’t talk about the specifics, you may believe something without knowing the facts behind it. Charles adds that its sort of like politics in that way. Tell us the work you’ve done with Web Standards. Danny talks about getting interested in web components through his friend Eric and actually interviewed at the company Eric worked at. He didn’t get the job but they stayed in touch and Eric introduced him into Polymer. He started to learn about Polymer, specifically custom elements. He remembers very early on wanting to make a custom HTML tag. He suggests that being able to do things without the framework has been a piece that has been missing. Having lower level building blocks to build off of is really exciting to Danny. He talks about using custom elements to build a familiar API surface to interact with. He talks about an example where he wrapped a bunch of HTML APIs, like the notification API and the fullscreen API, wrapping another element within it. He was trying to build things that the younger version of himself could use. He things that could be something we are heading towards more often. Danny adds that Web Components come with 4 major parts: Custom elements, HTML Imports (kind of), ShadowDOM, and templates. Custom elements allow you to create a unique piece of HTML and is the most widely accepted and supported. What are you working on now? Danny talks about how the Angular’s component model is very similar to Custom Element component model. Where you pass information in through properties and you listen for changes through events. You can use Custom Elements with very little setup. There is a specific Custom Elements Scheme that will let you use custom elements without any properties being thrown. You use the custom event in the exact same way and syntax as for any other component. The one issue with the source code where it parses the metadata, losing the friendly compiler messages out of the box. He is playing around with trying to find a way to whitelist different element names and properties. He wants to learn how the Framework is parsing potential data and make it easy to whitelist a set of custom elements. Picks Dannys Daemon by Daniel Suarez

You also may know him from NG Conf, the original Angular Conference. Stay tune to hear his story! Getting Started 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 still in school considering he had the job and at any rate, Aaron had learned how to teach himself. Between Stack Overflow and podcasts and Youtube, Aaron has all the resources he needed. Getting Into Work. Aaron talks about his time working with Kynetx, writing a language called Kynetx Rule Language. Kynetx was a platform where developers could create web browser plugins and it would work across the platforms. Aaron talks about the lack of frameworks then, leaving mainly only jQuery. And Then, Angular… In one of the corporations Aaron worked for, they used a framework called Backbone. Five Hundred programmers all prescribed Backbone for their work, but Aaron nudged someone in the stack team to look into Angular. It was a no brainer, Angular allowed to get the job done in much less code. They adopted it and got proficient. Conferences “Oyee! We should make one!” Aaron and Kipp Laurence decided that after they were unable to find an Angular conference to goto online that “Oyee! We should make one!” Reluctantly Aaron agreed and afterwards had someone from Google on board to send a whole team to the conference. Google Developers Experts Aaron is a GDE. He talks a bit about what that process what like and how it’s changed. He talks about what Google looks for in a GDE and clears any misconception that a GDE is about people who contribute to the community and are natural evangelists. Aaron vs Captchas Aaron talks about how one of his first projects will always be his favorite. His brother worked in real estate and used a particular website for work. The website had an annoying Captcha that had to be filled out pretty frequently. His brother asked Aaron to attempt to create a way to bypass the Captchas. Aaron talks about how at first he thought it was impossible, but after contemplating using a canvas and some basic calculations, he was able to put together a web browser extension to handle the task. They marketed the tool to others that used the website. What He Has Learned Aaron says that there is a theme that is reoccurring for him. Aaron talks about how often programmers and developers spend their efforts “chasing the pendulum” instead of focusing on solving the issues that the company needs them to solve. Programmers should worry less with how cool their patterns are or if they are using the latest Frameworks, and more about getting the job done. Keeping Up Aaron’s Twitter

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 still in school considering he had the job and at any rate, Aaron had learned how to teach himself. Between Stack Overflow and podcasts and Youtube, Aaron has all the resources he needed. Getting Into Work. Aaron talks about his time working with Kynetx, writing a language called Kynetx Rule Language. Kynetx was a platform where developers could create web browser plugins and it would work across the platforms. Aaron talks about the lack of frameworks then, leaving mainly only jQuery. And Then, Angular… In one of the corporations Aaron worked for, they used a framework called Backbone. Five Hundred programmers all prescribed Backbone for their work, but Aaron nudged someone in the stack team to look into Angular. It was a no brainer, Angular allowed to get the job done in much less code. They adopted it and got proficient. Conferences “Oyee! We should make one!” Aaron and Kipp Laurence decided that after they were unable to find an Angular conference to goto online that “Oyee! We should make one!” Reluctantly Aaron agreed and afterwards had someone from Google on board to send a whole team to the conference. Google Developers Experts Aaron is a GDE. He talks a bit about what that process what like and how it’s changed. He talks about what Google looks for in a GDE and clears any misconception that a GDE is about people who contribute to the community and are natural evangelists. Aaron vs Captchas Aaron talks about how one of his first projects will always be his favorite. His brother worked in real estate and used a particular website for work. The website had an annoying Captcha that had to be filled out pretty frequently. His brother asked Aaron to attempt to create a way to bypass the Captchas. Aaron talks about how at first he thought it was impossible, but after contemplating using a canvas and some basic calculations, he was able to put together a web browser extension to handle the task. They marketed the tool to others that used the website. What He Has Learned Aaron says that there is a theme that is reoccurring for him. Aaron talks about how often programmers and developers spend their efforts “chasing the pendulum” instead of focusing on solving the issues that the company needs them to solve. Programmers should worry less with how cool their patterns are or if they are using the latest Frameworks, and more about getting the job done....]]>2461falsefullAiA MAS 013 Will Buck: My Angular Storyhttps://topenddevs.com/podcasts/my-angular-story/episodes/aia-mas-013-will-buck-my-angular-storyepisode 57, and talked about Starting a Local Angular Meetup.
