Finding small chunks of time to learn. Tonight I'm reduced to reading ng-book while brushing my teeth!

Continuing to work through the tutorial from the @AngularGirls workshop that I went to before @AngularConnect. Clearly this is not going to be easy, but so worthwhile!

Fascinating insights from @nae_ohmi about what internationalisation really means and why it's important @AngularConnect

Thanks to the amazing (and hilarious) @saniyusuf I just learned so much! @AngularConnect "There's reactive forms or there's reactive forms.... You can use either" 😀

Surprisingly, the giant turtle is unrelated to @AngularConnect

All set for Day 2 of @AngularConnect

Heading home at the end of an amazing packed day @AngularConnect (with a little souvenir for my husband)

Thought-provoking talk by @GHBoer on accessibility @AngularConnect made me realise that there are many kinds of users who I've never really considered

Thank you @manu_murthy - wonderful talk @AngularConnect

Great insights from @PhilippeDeRyck on cross-site scripting, broken authentication and component vulnerabilities and how to avoid them @AngularConnect

Me: "Is it sad that I find keyup.enter really exciting?" Everyone else, emphatically: "No!" Now I know I'm with the right people

Great hands-on experience, working through Todo List tutorial with excellent mentor Richard Brammer

Learned about the values which drive the Angular team; components as building blocks; the advantages of Typescript

"Everyone comes to coding with their own ideas and a different approach, so a diverse team makes the product better."

Highlights included: "Programming doesn't feel like a natural space for women, but it should... The first-ever programmer was a woman: Ada Lovelace."

Had a fantastic day at ngGirls workshop. What a revelation! It's not as tough as I thought. Huge thanks to Shmuela, Robert and all mentors @AngularGirls

Heard all about the concepts, now it's time for "baby steps" in real code

Had good advice already, and we've not even started yet: "passion and curiosity will take you a long way"

My Angular journey starts today with the ngGirls workshop... Very excited, a little nervous!
