Setting Up Ngrx/Store In An Angular 2 Project

11/27/2016

Comments

 
I've been fiddling a lot lately with ngrx/store and managed to successfully implement it into a side project I've been working on. This post is just meant to be a refresher for me on how to take a boilerplate Angular project and add in state management with ngrx/store in case I need to this again (and ngrx/store is so awesome that I'm pretty sure I will be using it again. haha). Since this page is just publicly out there for anyone to see and you just so happened to stumble upon it, I guess you can use this post to add ngrx/store to your project too!

Deleting A Git Branch From The Command Line

11/26/2016

When you start working on a project with multiple people who are all making multiple branches it can get to the point where you have a humongous list of branches, sometimes to the point where it's totally unmanageable. If your project is on github, you will see a huge list of possible branches in the dropdown box. This is something that really bothers me. Luckily, there's a pretty way to get rid of the unused ones, and in this post I'll show you show to do just that.

Another Great ClojureScript Talk By David Nolan (EuroClojure 2016)

11/24/2016

I'm about a month late on this, but this morning I just watched the video of David Nolan's "Now What?" talk from the EuroClojure 2016 conference. I've been working a lot with classic JavaScript and also TypeScript recently, but he really got me excited again about ClojureScript, React, and functional programming. Definitely watch the video for yourself, but just for your own information I've distilled what I think are the key takeaways below.

Deleting Your Current Line in Terminal

11/23/2016

Comments

 
I'm almost embarrassed to be admitting that I was Googling this today, but for some reason I am always forgetting the shortcut key to delete your current line in terminal. As a node.js enthusiast, vim user, and avid terminal user I often find myself hitting the up and down keys to cycle through my previous commands, but then I realize that I just want an empty line in the prompt so I can just type something. I hate sitting there mashing the backspace key and always thought to myself, "there must be a better way". This is that better way!

How To Get A World Class Macbook Pro For $1000

11/17/2016

Comments

 
Let's face it: a Macbook Pro is the most common machine for web developers right now. What is it about Mac OS that everyone loves? It is the native linux shell you get with terminal, the ability to use xcode for native iOS apps, the ability to test on safari browser, or maybe just the sleek, timeless interface? It's nice to have a powerful Macbook, but it's not nice to pay Apple's full price tag. My '09 Macbook started suddenly turning off on me, and I wanted something a little more powerful. Also, I really wanted to upgrade from the 13" screen to the 15". However, I didn't want to fork over the $2000+ to get my dream machine from the Apple store. Luckily, with some research and a little tweaking I was able to get a very solid machine for just barely over $1000. Here's how...
