How to ACTUALLY switch from VS Code to Neovim

Joshua Morony 2023-09-06 | Vim is notoriously hard to use if you are not familiar with it, but people also go on about how great it is. It took me a few tries, but this video details how I managed to finally make the switch to neovim from VS Code after some failed attempts.

Testing SMART components and SERVICES with Signals and RxJS

Joshua Morony 2023-08-30 | We've already looked at how to test "dumb" components, now we are going to look at how to test how those components are integrated into the application using smart components and services.

Why does the average app kind of suck?

Joshua Morony 2023-08-16 | The most common counters I hear to the idea of declarative code are that imperative is a lot simpler and doesn't over complicate things. In this video, I provide some counters to that view point, and why declarative code might actually be the simpler option.

This solved a problem Ive had in Angular for years

Joshua Morony 2023-08-09 | Ideally, we want our data to be reactive right from the source, but sometimes we are just dealing with imperative APIs. RxDB makes it possible to have reactive local storage of data, and provides us with the power of a document based NoSQL database.

This video was sponsored by the RxDB team, but I had complete editorial and creative control over this video (including publishing with negative opinions if I desired).

Joshua Morony 2023-08-02 | Keeping a reactive/declarative download flow of state in your application can make things a lot more predictable - but placing too much importance on the role of components in my application made maintaining this hard.

I set up a 2D game world that you can walk around in and use it as a sort of "home page" for interacting with the web. There are various triggers throughout the world that can be used to launch a set of URLS, and you can use those to navigate between different tasks/workspaces.

Why you actually need RxJS (even if you dont realise it)

Joshua Morony 2023-01-25 | RxJS provides a way to explicitly handle asynchronous reactivity in your applications. This video explains what that means exactly, the difference to synchronous reactivity, and why the out of the box reactivity solutions Svelte and SolidJS might not be enough.

Angular developers can learn Svelte so fast...

Joshua Morony 2023-01-18 | It turns out that a lot of the concepts and APIs of Angular and SvelteKit are quite similar from a developer perspective, which means the leap for Angular developers to learn SvelteKit is reasonably small.

This video takes a look at some of the similarities.

Can AI explain the most challenging Angular concept?

Joshua Morony 2023-01-04 | I set out to make a video explaining the specifics of how dependency injection works in Angular. But then I started to wonder if ChatGPT could do a better job at explaining it than me.

So, now this video is a competition between myself (a Google Developer Expert for Angular) and ChatGPT.

Can Angular apps be cool again?

Joshua Morony 2022-11-30 | Angular hasn't been "cool" for a long time - it's generally seen as the framework for large enterprise style applications, not for fast moving startups disrupting industries. But, Angular has changed quite a lot lately, which begs the questions... could it ever be "cool" again?

WTF is Zone.js and is it making your app slow?

Joshua Morony 2022-11-09 | Zone.js is included in every Angular application and it is a critical part of change detection, but it also leads to your application doing way more rendering work than it actually needs to.

In this video, we explore what exactly Zone.js does, why we need it, how we can work around it, and why it might be becoming optional in the future.
