Delivering two talks at Devfest Gandhinagar 2019

Ahmadabad is always very close to me as I did my first public speaking in this city back on 24 July 2010.  Since then I have been trying to do at least one workshop or talk each year here, so continuing the ritual, I am again coming to Ahmadabad/Gandhinagar on 13th October to speak in   Devfest Gandhinagar 2019

You can follow all happening of the conference here or follow them on twitter here

I am excited to deliver two talks. They are as follows:

Talk 1: JavaScript Interview Questions Made Simpler

Usually they ask these questions in a JavaScript interview.

  1. What is the value of ‘this’?
  2. What are the invocation patterns?
  3. Various ways to pass parameters to a function?
  4. Explain Hoisting?
  5. How to make objects properties read only?
  6. How to make objects properties private?
  7. Explain constructor and prototype
  8. What is __proto__
  9. How will you create inheritance in JavaScript?
  10. ES2015
    1. Arrow functions
    2. REST parameters
    3. Spread operator
    4. Default parameters etc.

I will try to simplify 5-7 topics from the above listed topic in a simpler and entertaining way.  This talk is for everyone and your main take away from this session would be at least that you will never forget what is value of ‘this’ 😉

Talk 2:  Simplifying RxJS in Angular for everyone

We all use subscribe() method in an Angular application to fetch data from the API. However, very rarely know beyond that, I will try to take you beyond obvious.  In this talk, I will start from the beginning of RxJS in Angular and then end at the best practices of using it.

  1. Using of, from creational functions
  2. Sharing data between two unrelated components
  3. Fetching data from the API
  4. Using async pipe
  5. Using other operators such as a map, forkJoin etc.

This talk is for the developers who are already working on the Angular.

I am excited to see you in both of my talks.  When you see me in the event, do not hesitate to say Hi and take a selfie together.

I wish to thank Yatendrasinh Joddha, Parth Jansari, Arif Khoja  , Bhavesh Valand, and the whole team of GDG Gandhinagar for inviting me. I hope to meet the expectation of audiences and teach them a few things.

Recap of 2018

Hi Reader,

THANK YOU, for being with me in 2018. It was another good year due to your Support, Trust, and Love. Besides, you, I would like to thank my employer Infragistics and my boss Jason Beres that they gave me opportunities to contribute to developer community.

If you are an Angular developer, you may want to check fastest native Angular component library Ignite UI for Angular.

In 2018, I wrote articles, delivered talks in small meetups or big conferences, organized conference of 400 developers.

In 2018, I mainly focused on JavaScript and Angular. I was able to do the following:

Organizing ng-India was a kind of learning yet motivating experience. Since this was first ever-Angular specific conference in India, I had my doubts. However, everything went as planned. We sold all 300 tickets in less than one month and was joined by speakers from all across India. From printing goodies, printing T-Shirts, doing social media, to receiving speakers at AirPort, to delivering two talks, I had fun in almost everything in ng-India.

See Photos of ng-India here

I must thank all sponsors, volunteers, and speakers of ng-India. Without them, it was never possible. A special thanks to Shivprasad Koirala  and   Questpond for their trust in ng-India. Yes, finally yet importantly a big thank to vibrant Angular community for all motivation.

I delivered 11 talks in 2018. To deliver these talks, I travelled to six Indian cities and a country Nepal. Out of 11 talks, five talks were in big conferences such as ng-India, ng-Nepal, Pune Developer Conference and five talks were kind of workshops hosted by me in various cities. I also did one webinar for ng-Frankfurt.

I wrote 28 articles mainly on Angular and JavaScript and wrote an Angular Essential E-Book. I hope, I was useful to you in 2018.

Also in 2018, I got Microsoft MVP Award, which was ninth MVP Award for me since 2010. I have been getting it every year since 2010. I also had opportunity to attend MVP Summit in Seattle.

If you are reading my blog since 2010 and wondering, how I look on 31 December 2018, below photo is taken today

 

With all happiness, I wish you Happy New Year 2019. Keep learning, writing, teaching, and implementing. I am very excited for 2019.  Happy Coding.

Thanks with Regards
