Angular? This is real tutorial hell. (but it's worth it)

During the summer of last year, one of my friends I used to go swimming together, mentioned he recommends Angular to me if I want to learn programming seriously.

What an idea...

In February 2019 I started to study Angular and do lots of tutorials. Besides my course and big project which was finalized in summer of 2019, I studied this Javascript framework.

Imagine, I started doing Angular tutorials, and parallelly learned Javascript (ECMA 2015).
My main source of angular tutorials:
- https://angular.io/tutorial
- lots of smaller, simple tutorials : https://javabrains.io/courses/angular_basics/
- later on angular+firestore: https://fireship.io/
- some angular + material tutorials

It took me about 6 months, with weekly 1-2 tutorials, some of which have been quite superficial, copy paste etc. That's tutorial hell! I think now I am the best at faking angular tutorials... I became MEAN in the meanwhile, going through this hell.

Imagine my frustration in the beginning trying to use Web-API for back-end... from .net core and node.js... but that's a different story, maybe for another blog post.

But, around June 2019, I succeeded with some nice applications, one of which I can show below:

To be honest, it is a replica of an existing tutorial, tailored to my needs:
https://angular-templates.io/tutorials/about/angular-crud-with-firebase

In spite of all odds, this Angular hell has some value. It was hard, steep learning curve. But now I know I don't have to be stopped by new technologies or complex code. Everything has to be taken slowly, maybe only 20 min of focused learning per day. Excellent source was : fireship.io.

This HELL - is worth it!!
