Learning Angular 7

I've finally taken the plunge to dedicate some time and effort to officially learning Angular. Due to the low cost and at your own pace style of learning, I decided to go ahead and give Udemy a try. After a bit of research and previewing a few courses, I settled on Angular 7 (formerly Angular 2) - The Complete Guide. The course has great reviews and ratings so that certainly helped ease my mind in pulling the trigger. Having a syllabus with an overview of the different topics, lesson plans, and milestones provides the structure I need.

Hmm... so many options. Which course to choose?

The content so far seems fresh and lessons are easy to follow. When it comes to Angular and it's frequent releases and updates, many of the courses out there can go stale with broken and outdated information. Learning a new framework is hard enough so dealing with inconsistencies and bug riddled coding assignments makes learning that more challenging. Thankfully, that doesn't appear to be the case with this course.

Max, the instructor, does a great job at explaining and breaking up the content into manageable chunks of lessons and information. With so many releases since Angular 2, he's managed to refactor the lessons and update the course materials along the way. He does a great job of explaining high level concepts and digging deeper as needed. By providing examples and code as you go style of learning, the points really hit home and allow you to apply what you learn along the way. The course will not serve as the ultimate one stop shop for learning Angular, however it can be a great tool and guide in your personal journey to understanding and mastering the framework.

In combination with this course, the official Angular documentations, and the Angular community - I'll be speaking Angular in no time. You can too. Be sure to follow my journey along the way.

Key Takeaways
  • Stop procrastinating and start learning today
  • Angular 7 is less intimidating when you have a good course and instructor
  • Build something awesome
  • FAIL along the way. It's the ONLY way.

Favorite Google Home Features

We currently have four Google Minis throughout a few rooms in our small one bedroom city apartment. From Black Fridays to Spotify giveaways, I've managed to hoard a good amount of these little devices over the past year for very low cost. We have one in the living room, the kitchen, the bedroom, and lastly in our bathroom — along with 3 unopened to spare. So if Google is indeed actively listening, they've heard it all. And that's fine by me. Moving from room to room and seamlessly interacting with Google assistant is absolutely fantastic. There are a ton of really cool features that may not be so obvious. I'll dig into a few of my favorite features below. "Ok Google, what are my favorite features?" Multi-room synchronous music and audio The ability to listen to the same song from any room is an amazing experience. No longer do you need to be tethered to your headphones to benefit from a mobile music experience. Having multiple Google Home devices a...

Gmail Tips: Cleaning up your inbox

Ever feel the need to clear out all of your unread e-mails in Gmail? I can't be the only one. Sometimes when everything in life seems out in order, it can be rewarding to get that unread count down to zero. As simple and intuitive Gmail can be, the options to organize and clean out those piles of unwanted, unread messages is not so obvious. Clearing out all unread e-mails ONLY in your primary inbox Gmail nicely splits your inbox into 3 groups: primary, social, and promotions. Social and promotions usually get filled up quick with junk mail that may or may not be useful. Thankfully those items our out of sight. It's the primary inbox that I'm usually concerned about keeping tidy. The power is within the search box. Type  in: category:primary is:unread  into the search box to list out all of the unread e-mails in your primary inbox. Then from there you can delete all or mark as unread using the selector. Boom.
