“Containerizing” Angular with Docker: My ng-conf Talks and Overall Experience

This entry was posted in Angular Cloud Containers Docker ECMASCript6 TypeScript on by

ng-conf 2018 is officially over….too bad it can’t go on forever. It’s such a great conference that you don’t want it to end. In addition to hearing a lot of high-quality talks from the Angular team and other awesome speakers, I had the opportunity to hang out with John Papa a lot (one of my best friends) as well as several other close friends, and made many new friends throughout the week as well (thanks to my buddy Brian Clark for the picture to the right). Here’s a little information about the conference and my overall experience. If you’re only interested in videos […]

This entry was posted in Angular Docker on by

I had the opportunity to sit down with Simona Cotin (Azure Developer Advocate at Microsoft) at the AngularMix conference to talk about “Five Things About Docker”. The video is one in a series of “Five Things” videos being created and produced by the Azure Developer Advocate team at Microsoft and presents various tech topics in a fun way. This particular video is focused on Docker and a few of the things I really like about it. 

Choosing the “Right” JavaScript Library/Framework for Your Application 2

This entry was posted in Angular angularjs javascript React SPA TypeScript VueJS on by

“What’s the ‘right’ JavaScript library/framework for us to use?”. That’s a question that comes up a lot nowadays given the multitude of choices available and one that doesn’t have a “right” answer of course. I’m fond of saying, “Use the right tool for the right job” when I’m onsite at a company teaching a training class or providing architecture/consulting services. While I certainly have my technology preferences, to force them on someone or on one of the companies I work with would quite honestly be naive and shortsighted. If there’s one thing I’ve learned working in technology over 20 years […]

Angular Playground – Developing and Running Components in a Sandbox! 2

This entry was posted in Angular on by

Scenario-Driven Development (SDD) – a term I’d heard little about until my friend Justin Couto encouraged me to check out his team’s Angular Playground tool. SDD didn’t mean much to me when I first heard about it, but I decided to look into Angular Playground more and had one of those “light bulb” moments after I got it up and running. SDD was extremely cool….once I understood what it was all about! Angular Playground is a relatively new tool from the SoCreate team (and former team member Justin Schwartzenberger) that allows you to build and run Angular components in isolation (note […]

Pushing Real-Time Data to an Angular Service using Web Sockets 2

This entry was posted in Angular Node.js socket.io web sockets on by

One of the questions I’ve been asked a lot lately in my Angular training classes, at conference workshops, and when working with different companies has been, “How can I push data to an Angular application from the server?”. Pushing data from the server to the client is useful when applications need to display real-time data or when they want to leverage the speed and low-latency benefits provided by TCP/IP Web Socket connections. My answer to this question (up to this point anyway) has been to provide a high-level discussion of how Web Sockets can be used to push data to an Angular […]

I’m excited to announce the release of my new course on Pluralsight titled Integrating Angular with ASP.NET Core RESTful Services! This course follows up my previous course which focused on Angular and Node.js. The code in this new class covers ASP.NET Core 2.0 or higher and Angular 4 or higher. As with my previous course, I’ll walk you through the process of using Angular to call into RESTful services and perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update and Delete) operations in an application to allow a user to view and modify data. However, in this course the services are built using C# and […]

5 Key Benefits of Angular and TypeScript 16

This entry was posted in Angular es6 Framework javascript SPA TypeScript on by

  Over the past few months, I’ve been asked the same general question about Angular multiple times in onsite training classes, while helping customers with their architecture, or when talking with company leaders about the direction web technologies are heading. Here’s the general question: “What are the key benefits that Angular and TypeScript can offer our development teams?” It’s a great question and one that should be asked before jumping into any new technology or framework. Most of the people asking are technology managers or directors interested in understanding the benefits that Angular can offer their teams (both technical and non-technical). […]
