Update: I made a demo of the Personal Weather Station page here. Git: https://github.com/adamcodes716/media-watched-history (same code base as the Media Watched app). As mentioned in other posts I am always interested in trying to integrate my personal geeky projects with my work life. One of my hobbies is weather. To be more specific, the ability...
It's easy enough to get an app working on localhost but many devs don't have experience porting an app to production. I've done just about every piece of this at one time or another but I thought that I would put them altogether in a single guide for future reference. I could have taken the...

The problem: the starter files would not compile once you got to a certain part of the course (several others had the same issue). I spent a while playing around with it and the...
This Pluralsight.com course really brought together a lot of the concepts that I had seen in the other courses and in my creation of simple apps. Course URL: https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/angular-2-reactive-forms/table-of-contents My Notes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jrl20M49qle4PzcNGPdHNzQR3UzJRRs1y6s8oxy9IIM/edit?usp=sharing: Duration: 3h 52minutes.
