It was strange to talk shop about both nutrition and software in the same podcast. Two of my favourite topics. But this is what we chatted about on Get Up And Code with John Sommez. Having so much experience in the nutrition world from the last decade I take a lot of that into the software world. Keeping in shape is so important in the tech industry and helps balance out the long hours of focus. If you want to hear about my thoughts on Johns no eating until 5pm strategy then listen in.........

Figure: The demo application built with gulp and Visual Studio 2015 using AngularJS and TypeScript. Thanks to everyone who came along to the last ng-sydney AngularJS user group. Always such great conversation about how we are all using AngularJS at work. This was my first presentation to a tech user group and it was a lot of fun. I thought it was fascinating when I asked the room of 30 people how many are currently using TypeScript in production and that only three people raised their hands!! When I asked the room about how they felt about TypeScript since the announcement that AngularJS 2.0 will be built on TypeScript three quarters of the room are now interested to use...

I recorded a Dev Super Powers Webinar on using AngularJS with TypeScript last week. When I finished the session I thought "I wonder what will happen with AtScript and TypeScript?" So when the Angular team announaced they are going to use TypeScript to build AngularJS 2.0 I was very happy :) If you want to be AngularJS 2.0 ready and start using ECMA Script 6 features today then TypeScript is going to be a great tool for you. I am excitied to see what the Angular Team bring to TypeScript so watch this space as TypeScipt 1.5 is released in the following weeks....

So psyched and grateful to have had the chance to do a video with Pluralsight about changing careers. Would love to hear your thoughts and experiences changing careers so feel free to leave a comment below....

I had a great chat today with PluralSight author Justin Schwartzenberger about TypeScript combined with AngularJS. It is so cool in the Tech industry how open and friendly people are to share advice and experience. Justin is one of those people. TypesScript is pretty awesome and quite stright forward on it's own. However when you try and use it with your AngularJS apps it can make you code more verbose and difficult to write. Well at least that was my experience when I first started using TypeScript and AngularJS. I really wish I had access to Justin's Pluralsight course the first time I used these two togehter. In this interview it is interesting to hear how much Justin likes the...
