5 Key Benefits of Angular and TypeScript 16

  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). […]

Behind the Scenes: Angular and ASP.NET Core Pluralsight Course Kickoff Video! 1

I’ve had several people over the years ask about my workflow as I create video courses for Pluralsight and other sites so I thought I’d provide some details. Since I’m starting a brand new course for Pluralsight (Integrating Angular with ASP.NET Core RESTful Services) I filmed a few details about my equipment setup and also did a live recording (with bloopers!) of one of the video clips that will be used in the course. I know a lot of people are either interested in getting into video or simply want to know what really happens behind the scenes so I hope […]


10 Angular and TypeScript Projects to Take You From Zero to Hero 11

There are a lot of great samples and posts out there to help get you started with Angular (version 2 or higher) as well as ES6/ES2015 and TypeScript.

In this post I’m going to provide a list of 10 Angular/TypeScript projects that I’ve created that can take you from “Zero to Hero” if you like to explore project code and are interested in investing the time to learn.

New Pluralsight Course – Integrating Angular with Node.js RESTful Services 10

  I’m excited to announce the release of a new course on Pluralsight titled Integrating Angular with Node.js RESTful Services! This covers Node.js 6.10 or higher and Angular 4 or higher. In this 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. If you’ve wondered about how Angular services work, how to organize modules, the role of Observables and RxJS in async operations, how Angular’s Http client can be used to make async calls, how […]


Video – TypeScript: Angular 2’s Secret Weapon

I had the awesome opportunity to speak at ng-conf (one of my favorite conferences) about TypeScript and some of the key features it provides that are used in Angular 2. While several of the features covered are available (and have been available for years) in server-side languages such as C#, Java and others, developers accustomed to writing browser-centric applications haven’t been able to leverage these features in the past. TypeScript provides a great way to take advantage of ES6 features while also providing support for some of the features I discuss in the talk such as interfaces, generics, type support and more. Angular 2 is […]


Yet Another Podcast Interview: TypeScript and Angular 2

I recently had the opportunity to chat with my good friend Jesse Liberty on his Yet Another Podcast show about TypeScript and the role it can play in JavaScript-centric applications. We talked about the benefits that TypeScript offers (much more than just strong “types”) as well as how TypeScript fits into the overall Angular 2 picture. Jesse’s an experienced podcast host who asks great questions and makes it easy to chat about any subject – TypeScript in this case! You can listen to the interview here.
