Building and deploying a website with Angular | Web Wednesday

Originally scheduled as an exploration of Angular, our conversation with Damola focused on questions from the audience. This led to a wonderful conversation as we talked about Angular, Blazor, Flutter and a few other frameworks and technologies. We also discussed why one might choose certain frameworks, and some best practices for getting started as a web developer. As a serial entrepreneur who's always exploring, Damola had some wonderful insights to share.
