Hello friends,
Today I am going to discuss all about my career in Angular and how I started with it. Many of my friend keep asking me,
- What is right way to learn Angular?
- How I can start learning Angular?
- What are the good resources for it?
My simple answer is, you should be good enough to search your doubt to get started for something but also I know sometimes without guidance it becomes very hard to start the journey or staying focused to it. So for that very reason, I am sharing my Angular journey. And at the end I will be sharing a Roadmap for Angular created by me.
Here I go friends ✍️,
A small story about how I started with it.
In 2017, I tried my hands on Angular.js(1.x) but I was just happy with interpolation alone and never head forward to it. Went with PHP for some more time as it was handy to me. But again, with no framework I didn’t had scope for my development career.
In 2018, I left my job from Infosys to learn and switch my career in development from back office. I was job less for 4 months. Really hard days in life, but sun shines at it own time.
In 2019, I joint a startup as Software intern and started with MEAN stack. Within a month I was thrown in front of client with no prior experience of handling client and development. Do or Die? situation for me. There I started my actually learning journey. I experienced a saying that, “if you have an option or if you have a plan B, you never go to the path you dream or desired off”. I had no back way from there and put my whole soul for it with a fear (if I loose this job, I would have to land to back office job again). With no great job, to learn & earn something (knowledge) I started learning with job all day & night (likely from 8:00 AM to 4:00 AM of next day) and within a month I was able to crack interview for 2 years of Angular position.
To explore more about Angular, I started some extra stuff:
- Started attending Meetups
- Created Twitter account and followed some good techies
- Gone through all Angular.io documentation to get a better idea about Angular framework and it’s basics
- Attending Angular events to encourage my own self
- Networking with more Angular people
- Finally teaching Angular to learn Angular
- And still learning…
Today I am having 3 years and 7 months Angular experience and working with a well known Indian MNC company.
Got a chance to work with clients from Ukraine, Australia, Malaysia, Texas, etc. which was again a part of learning.
Got a chance to explore a team as a lead. Secondly headed a project with all the decisions from framework selection to Angular app Architectural designing from scratch.
Today, I am very much happy with my learning journey. But yes, I would like to admit that I want to explore other frameworks as well.
I also recommend you guys to check my next article about Angular Roadmap. Incase you love to learn or explore Angular.
Thank you 😊 🙏
I would also like to share that I work as a freelance Angular Dev (individually) so my mail is always open for work chat and project discussions. You can contact through my mail or DM me in Twitter.
