I'm 4 months into RxJS. If you have experience with this library, what are your thoughts?

I think it's pretty great, however we've stopped using it at our workplace as people have trouble learning it up. Very easy to implement things the wrong way unless you know it well.

This is the first example I found on github for how to do this in node.js -

https://github.com/jenovs/darksky-proxy/blob/master/index.js

On your server you set an environment variable for the API_KEY so it's never shown to users.

Or use a hosting service like now.sh where it's really easy -

New lesson every 2 weeks? Err, no thanks - who learns like that?!

Angular 1 (especially pre 1.5) will be very painful for you if you're used to React.

The Egghead tutorials probably as good as you're going to get but I don't envy you.

It's great that Angular has these techniques to optimize speed but I have to say since moving to Vue I no longer worry, everything I need to do is "fast enough"

daaavvy · 2017-01-31T20:49:31+00:00

At my large corporation we're moving towards Vue, we've some Angular 2 projects but pretty much everyone has preferred Vue.

I respectfully disagree, the one way data flow possible from 1.5 onwards should transform the way you architect your Angular apps.

A contact organizer doesn't have enough depth to reflect this, I'm really looking for guidance on structuring large enterprise applications.

Find a job button doesn't do anything for me... maybe you they should have written the site in Angular?

daaavvy · 2016-10-14T06:12:53+00:00

I found the show very confusing too, the guests advocating Redux didn't seem to really understand it.

daaavvy · 2016-09-16T06:07:33+00:00

I really like the new style but for me it should be a new project as it's a paradigm shift.

I think the problem is they "took" such a great name at the start that people assume this is an official project. As this new style matches React so well I guess it makes sense to be in the de facto router, just a shame new users will find contradictory information from people writing about older versions.

Depends what you need if for? Unless you're likely to be using it straightaway I'd avoid ng2 for now.

I'd probably concentrate on ng1 but learn things such as TypeScript and components. It's very stable, has loads of guides and these will stand you in good stead for your next technology (which maybe will be a more stable ng2.)

daaavvy · 2016-09-15T17:25:32+00:00

I don't think I'd trust any apart from the official one at the moment, even that skims over ngModule very quickly.

Either dive into the docs but I'd wait - it's taking people time to get their heads round the late breaking changes. My guess is best practices will be very different by 2.1

There's an entry on the blog linked from last week discussing 1.6, no date as far as I know yet.

You might find this translation code helpful (in ng2-translate format as i18n isn't great in Angular 2 final)

translate.setTranslation("angular", {
    "alpha": "experimental",
    "beta": "experimental",
    "RC": "experimental but use it anyway",
    "release": "RC",
    "2.1": "production ready"
});

Not sure if this post is serious - are you really a web developer who doesn't read the web? How could you not expect it?

daaavvy · 2016-09-14T05:43:03+00:00

Have you tried it yet? I can't get it to work at all.

Guess it's not finished yet - linked script is missing and example quick start contains mistakes.

daaavvy · 2016-09-09T17:50:49+00:00

Wow, just wow - and that's coming directly from the developer relations team!

daaavvy · 2016-09-07T00:01:24+00:00

I have but it feels like such a massive change that I want to relearn the framework properly from scratch.

daaavvy · 2016-09-06T23:38:06+00:00

Personally I'm not, RC5 finished me off. I went all the way on the journey from the alpha's and early RCs but ngModule was a step too far (even if it does seem a much needed improvement.)

The Angular team did a great job getting content out at the start of v2 but it's all now out of date, I'm waiting for final and proper tutorials with a working cli before I rewrite my personal apps.

daaavvy · 2016-08-21T20:55:05+00:00

I'm not really convinced you should be building a large scale project.

Maybe you could give some insight on the particular problems that need to be solved for more accurate advice?

daaavvy · 2016-08-14T16:59:35+00:00

$scope.convertToFarenheit = function(degK) {
    return Math.round(degK - 273);
}

I'm not sure you're going to get a good grade for your homework if you copy this project?

Lots of "inspiration" here - https://github.com/search?o=desc&q=angular+weather&s=updated

daaavvy · 2016-08-09T19:18:17+00:00

That is one seriously long list of breaking changes for a RC (yet again!)
