Boss's boss's boss wants us to look into angularjs and/or dart for future projects. No one in the team knows either one. Everyone else on the team has a jquery background, which makes angularjs very difficult for them. since i dont have a jquery background, i volunteered to look into angular

Wish me luck

Maybe my blog will last as long as Eep's, neh?

I think if you blogged, a cool idea would be your "code history" story. How you got started, job history etc.

but I guess not everyone appreciates reading stories as much as me

edit: that isn't to say that blogging about how you get started with angular is a bad idea. I would still read that too!

my dad was a programmer back in the day. as a hobby, he wrote an IDE for C that was used for some embedded processors. professionally, he worked with delphi in the early 2000s and later c#/asp.net.

when i was in middle school, he kept nagging me to work on some turtle graphics (LOGO) to learn basic coding, then some vb6. then i got my basic java/c# certifications when i was in high school. did pretty much nothing but play diablo in college during my free time. got an internship at a company doing C#/ASP.NET/TSQL for 1.5 years. after i graduated, i joined a company where i did predominantly java / plsql for 2.5 years, did some native android for .5 years before the company scrapped the project, then for the past year i've been doing some java (just for REST services) and mostly titanium appcelerator for ipad/android. after graduating college in 2010, i started learning django, groovy/grails, and scala for a few months in my spare time, but i got demotivated since i didnt use it at work. now when i get home i just watch anime and read audio books like a boss.

you can probably figure out what languages i know by watching which topics i offer help in. you may have noticed i rarely answer questions on this forum about css/jquery. i know basic html/css/javscript, but i'm definitely not a web developer and i have 0 experience tweaking css to make stuff look right on all browsers. i took 1 class in college where we made games in C for the gameboy advance (my favourite CS course in school), never did c++ or objective c. i'm comfortable with java/c# from back in 2004 when i studied for the certifications in high school. i haven't kept up with the changes to C# as much as i'd like, so i'm not very comfortable with LINQ or lambda expressions or the other cool stuff.

interesting to know all that! I too was sort of inspired to get into the degree by a close friend (rather than family).

I literally started all this coding stuff when I made that blog, no prior experience. I wish I had done more in HS, but I slacked off/hung out with bad people/World of Warcraft (sigh...)

Definitely cool to see your story though, would like to see something similar for the other regulars in this sub.

Anyways, I will follow this thread if you end up writing about angular. Sounds like I could learn something.

so youve always been around programming

i didnt start learning to code until i was about 20 or so

I had an art background and went into graphic design, then started doing web design stuff, and got into coding/programming from there.

mainly just do web programming atm. ~ PHP and javascript mostly. been getting into Nodejs lately

I actually read a bunch of shit about angular last night on W3.

holy crap, very cool stuff.

Seems to accomplish something similar to the JSTL/JSP EL

Jquery works pretty well with angular, it's lots of fun!
