   So if I add "/edit" to the link that you provided, the doc seems fine. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1fE0PW1FMlYU9Xhig_QIG... I wonder if the bug you're seeing is something that is spe

   Crap so if you open the file now you may get a message at the top of the page that says: "Wow, this file is really popular! Some tools might be unavailable until the crowd clears. Try again. Dismiss." This sucks because comments d

   The big goal here is to create AngularJS docs that are really easy to use and understand. I decided to start this project after a bunch of conversations with my students from www.angularcourse.com. Many of them are putting a lot of effort i

    Even though I've done things that many people consider harder than school (taught myself programming, worked at Google, quit to start my own company), I felt like succeeding in school was much more difficult. (1) The main reason is tha

    Thanks for the feedback. Still working on the sales page. You should be familiar with HTML/CSS/JavaScript to get the most out of the course. Having said there are quite a few students that have gone on through the course without a

    I didn't plan to post here today but after the Firebase acquisition I figured why not. This is the course I wish I had when I was learning Angular. It was a painful process that sucked. I was really annoyed that I wasn't getting a

    It's true that they're in separate orgs inside the company, but Google is a pretty open place and it's extremely common for different orgs to work together. So I'm not sure that this observation really answers anything.

    I just had a flashback from one of Misko's early talks about Angular's original vision as a full set of tools that included a managed database and security rules. Here's his blog post about the topic: http://misko

    As a heavy Angular user, I wonder how much of a role the Angular team played in driving this acquisition. AngularFire has always been one of the most amazing things about Firebase. So much so that I decided to build my business on it ( http

    Creator of AngularCourse here. Really glad that you like the product aspect of the course. I spent a lot of time thinking about what to build for the sample app. My goal was to solve a real problem that I have. The app is not groundbreaking

    1. Don't do operations. That's going to be a total waste of time. 2. Don't do an MBA. Very little that you learn in an MBA will apply to product management. It can help with branding if you didn't go to a great universit

    Of the partners announced today, a lot of people know Alexis and Dalton, but my guess is that few know Qasar. I worked for him for over two years at Google. He was one of the product leads I respected the most because he was really good at
