Angular Architecture Concepts – ngVikings Keynote

This entry was posted in Angular and tagged Architecture organization planning state management on by

The ngVikings conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark this year and I had a great time speaking at it and talking with the people that attended. One of the more fun aspects of attending any conference is listening to and learning from what others are doing, hearing about problems they’re trying to solve, helping out where possible, and making new friends along the way. I had the opportunity to give one of the keynote talks this year and focused on a topic that is near and dear to me – architecture. Some companies seem to have the viewpoint that because […]

This entry was posted in Angular Docker kubernetes and tagged containers deployment microservices on by

I had the opportunity to attend and speak at ngVikings this year in Copenhagen, Denmark which was a lot of fun. Copenhagen is a beautiful city and the conference organizers did a great job putting the event together. One of the talks I gave at the conference covered deploying Angular applications using containers. While the focus was on Angular and any services it may call, the concepts can really be applied to any front-end back-end application or service. Topics covered in the talk include: Deployment Challenges What is Docker? Images and Containers Orchestration with Docker Compose Orchestration with Kubernetes (introductory […]

If you ever get a chance to attend the ng-conf conference in Salt Lake City, Utah I highly recommend it. It’s one of my favorite conferences to attend and speak at due to the great content, huge community of developers, and many fun events throughout the week. The conference organizers do a great job putting on the event. This year I had the opportunity to do a 2-day workshop with my good friend John Papa on Angular Architecture concepts. We had a very interactive group of nearly 200 people in the workshop and enjoyed sharing project battle stories, best practices, […]

Free Interactive Coding Course: Build Your First Angular App

About a year ago I was browsing the web and came across a site called Scrimba.com. It provided a unique way to learn about web technologies through a live code editor combined with audio that syncs with the code – something you have to actually try out to realize the full potential. Since I do a lot of training for companies the Scrimba tool really caught my eye. I was so impressed with the features Scrimba provided that I decided to contact the creators (Per Harald Borgen and Sindre Aarsaether) to let them know that I thought the tool they had […]

Real Talk JavaScript Podcast: End to End Testing with Cypress.io

I had the opportunity to talk with my good friends John Papa and Ward Bell about Cypress.io and end to end testing on the Real Talk JavaScript podcast.  We talked about why I think end to end testing should get more attention, how I’m using it in a current project, as well as the benefits it can offer developers. I wasn’t a huge fan of end to end testing in the past mainly because I hadn’t used it much on projects, had the misconception that it was for “dedicated testers”, and felt like it would require a lot of time […]

ngAir Podcast: Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker

This entry was posted in Angular Azure Cloud Containers Docker Pluralsight SPA TypeScript on by

I had the opportunity to chat with Justin, Bonnie, Alyssa, and Austin about Angular and Docker on the ngAir podcast recently and really enjoyed talking with everyone. We talked about the benefits of containers from a developer and DevOps standpoint, how to create custom images with Dockerfiles, how to build/push/pull images, and how to run containers. We of course focused on the role that containers can play with Angular applications but the concepts apply to any front-end app (or back-end app for that matter). Here are some of the key links mentioned in the podcast: ​Containerizing Angular Apps with Docker […]

I’m excited to announce the release of my next course on Pluralsight titled Containerizing Angular Applications with Docker! This course walks you through the process of containerizing front-end applications (with a focus on Angular) using Docker images and containers. Here are a few questions this course will help you answer: Why “containerize” front-end applications? Should I consider using a CDN? How can I serve front-end applications created with Angular (or other libraries/frameworks) using nginx? How do I create a custom Dockerfile and custom image for my application? What is a multi-stage build and how can I use it to build […]

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group in Denver, Colorado about Microservices, Docker, Angular, and ASP.NET Core which was a lot of fun.

Upgrading an Application to Angular 6: Step By Step

This entry was posted in Angular RxJS TypeScript on by

Angular 6 is out and it offers some great new functionality in the CLI and overall framework. One of the biggest new features (IMO anyway) is the CLIs support for schematics and the ng new library command to create and publish libraries (a big pain point that is now simplified). But, I digress….this post is about upgrading an application. Click here if you want a quick look at all of the great new features. I have a large project I’m working on that’s still in development so I decided to take the plunge and try out some of the new features to […]
