On the first day of November, I challenged myself to 30 days of writing. Not just any kind of writing either, I wanted to do 30 days of tech blogging. If you look at this blog, you’ll see that I clearly didn’t finish that, I did learn quite a few things though.

After 2 weeks of featuring not-so-current blogs, this week I want to talk about David Walsh’s blog.

SVGs are great. Not only do they render non-pixelated versions of your favorite vector images, but their XML base allows developers so much freedom to play with them. It’s also a good exploration of what can be done with the DOM API.

For this week’s Tech Blog Thursday, I want to talk about Mislav Marohnic, who’s blog wins my most number of pocketed entries.

Lately whenever I’ve had some idle time, whether that be waiting for my Windows box to start up, or waiting for my project to build, I’ve been reading MDN’s JavaScript docs. As someone who’s never formally studied JavaScript, it has plenty of useful tidbits that I may not gather from just building applications.

Remember when I talked about how Inputs in Angular 2 can be tricky? Well it gets worse. Here are some points to keep in mind when passing non-primitive types as Inputs.

What if I want to change the styles of child components in Angular 2? Is that even possible? Well, yes.

I use Jekyll for this blog and needed to find ways to add code snippets to it. It required quite a bit of searching though, and the default preferences aren’t my favorite. Here’s how I tweaked mine.

Admit it, most meetings are long, boring, and often a waste of time. I had a brief stint doing project manager-type work a few months ago. I worked with a great Project Manager and the best take away I had from it was how to run meetings properly.

Git is tricky. It gets especially tricky when you’ve made a mistake and don’t know what to do next. I’ve compiled some common mistakes I make and how I remedy them.

Every Thursday, I’ll feature a tech blog I like. Today, that’s Tom Preston-Werner’s, cofounder and former CEO of Github and creator of Jekyll.

Detecting input changes in Angular 2 are a bit tricky. The way Angular 2 detects changes and handles them can be rather confusing. Here’s how I do it.

To some people, coding everyday is no big deal. It’s a common occurrence. But to me, between dance practice, work, and everything else in between, it’s a struggle. Last month, I challenged myself to code for 31 days straight. I skipped one day, but otherwise, here’s what I learned from it.

Categories can be added to all Jekyll posts. Since I wanted a page that showcased my experience, projects, and blog posts, I use Jekyll to categorize them. Here’s a rundown of how I use categories and display them in different formats.

There are plenty of tutorials out there on setting up Jekyll, but there doesn't seem to be much on styling it. So here are the basics of how I am using Jekyll and Material Design Lite for my personal site.
