Day 47: Angular

The MEAN Stack is arguably not the most popular stack we're on now. Everyone is off doing their own thing and even the instructors have downgraded to a more hands-off role. Many of my classmates haven't shown up in about a week and the one from Rhode Island went back to his state and will be completing the rest of the bootcamp from there.

I spent most of the day attending the final portion of the career counselor's presentation before I finally sat down and got to work on the second Angular assignment. There was no way I was going to do this all on my own and still have time to go back and finish up the earlier assignments. So I decided to follow the instructor's video demonstration. Even by following it, Angular is far from understandable.

This sums up the MEAN stack design

Earlier today the instructor laid out the description of how Angular is suppose to help developers set up their front-end design. It claims to be an MVC setup like CodeIgniter in LAMP but now it appears that the front-end and back-end have their own controllers. So it's more like MVCC. What!

I'm ending the day with half of the second assignment completed.

VT really loves this stack and claims that the instructors aren't really teaching us the way, as he's now seeking resources from outside the dojo. Perhaps when this is all over I'll do the same thing. Right now, I just really want to be done with this stack.
