Martina Kraus is a Google Developer Expert, consultant, and trainer. She joins Aaron on this week's My Angular Story to share her experiences with the Angular community. Both Aaron and Martina agree that Angular community is very accepting and friendly.
Martina mentions that her Angular Conference experience was the ngVikings and she felt very included and welcome the whole time she was there.
Martina also shares her Google Developer Experience as well. Martina believes developers should work on improving their strengths. For example, if a developer does not like to give talks at the conferences then maybe she should focus on writing blog pieces instead.
Martina then talks about some of the things she is excited about in Angular right now. One of them is Angular Ivy and Martina is currently in the process of writing a blog piece on Angular Ivy. Aaron and Martina both agree that developers should try the Ivy update and see if their app works.

Thomas Burleson, Solutions Architect focusing on React and Angular from West Des Moines, Iowa joins Aaron Frost in this week's My Angular Story. Thomas shares his journey as a developer and how he was introduced to Angular. Thomas and Aaron also talk about the evolution of the Angular community.
Thomas was an Applied Physics major in college and when he failed a programming class he never thought he would be a developer. But then he wanted to know what was behind the software he was using and he taught himself how to code. Thomas then shares some tips on what abilities you need possess if you want to become a developer, one of which is the ability to sit in front of a computer 10-12 hours a day. The second one is to be willing to put in the time to learn.
Finally Aaron asks him Thomas how to get out of a "quicksand" situation where you cannot drop the things you are working on but would like to change your project or position. Thomas outlines some cases why one can find themselves in a quicksand situation and what to do about it.

Today Aaron Frost welcomes a very cool guest on My Angular Story, Aaron Ma who is an 11 year old software and hardware developer. Aaron mainly focuses on on web development, self driving cars, flying cars, robotics, Python, C++ and machine learning.
Aaron started programming at the age of 5 by teaching himself HTML by watching YouTube videos. He then continued with an Introduction to CSS course. Aaron's father who is a full stack developer also encouraged and helped in his coding journey. Aaron Frost asks Aaron if he can remember what he learned from the first HTML video he watched and whether he thought it was hard to learn.
Aaron Frost asks Aaron for tips on how parents can teach their kids how to program. Because Aaron has such an extensive background with programming already at age 11, Aaron Frost also wants to know how much and how Aaron's dad was involved with Aaron's learning process.
Aaron Frost then wants to know how Aaron taught himself TensorFlow as well as what the developer community can do to support young developers such as himself. Finally Aaron Frost wants to know more about Aaron's interest in self-driving vehicles and whether he considers getting good grades a priority.

- MAS 096: Kevin A. McGrail
Aaron Frost talks to Kevin A. McGrail, Director of Business Growth at InfraShield on this week's My Angular Story. Kevin specializes in cyber security and e-mail security. At InfraShield they specialize in cyber physical security in critical infrastructures.
Kevin explains what cyber physical security entails and how it is different than IT security. It includes both information security and operational security including a wide spectrum from computer access to building access.
Bridging both physical and cyber space security requires Kevin to use a lot of Angular but Angular is only one of the 40 languages Kevin uses in his job. Kevin gives examples of cyber security breaches he runs into and the number one failure he sees all the time is that there is a lack of process that goes from development to QA and then to production. He often asks his clients " if there is a security issue in your code and i give you a one line code of patch for it, how long will it take you to deploy that to production"? and the shorter the answer to that the better the client is in their cyber security implementation.
One of the other issue Kevin runs into often is when clients fork their Angular and then they are hesitant to update their Angular version because of all the security patches they have in place. So that becomes a catch 22 example so Kevin warns against forking Angular because it becomes a big security risk. Kevin goes on to share some of the other common mistakes that companies make that puts at them risk for security.

This week My Angular Story welcomes Brad McAlister, Software Engineering Lead at Sapphire Digital. Sapphire Digital does healthcare transparency software for insurance companies. Brad works on a product called Smart Shopper which gives the costs of treatment options for same procedures at different hospitals.
Brad and Aaron discuss healthcare costs specifically how complicated it is. Brad talks about how SmartShopper works.
They then talk about Brad's NG-Conf appearances and the Angular meet-ups he has started. Before he was a developer, Brad worked in IT for 12 years. He learned HTML very early on but he got side-tracked into web hosting rather than web development. He made the transition to development eventually and has been with Sapphire Digital for the past 5 years.
Brad and Aaron talk about what is important for the Angular community and Brad shares there should be a balance between being on the "bleeding edge" of technologies and always falling back on what you know. Aaron asks Brad for an example of something Brad learned to do differently in the past 12 months. Brad then talks about the projects he is working on right now and what he is planning to work on in the future.

This week My Angular Story welcomes Philip Fulcher, Software Engineer at Hach. Philip gave his first talk at Angular Denver 2019 on Intro to Bazel with Bonnie Brennan Aaron wonders why despite years of developers experience, Philip never gave a talk at a conference before this year.
Philip and Aaron discuss some of the best practices of giving a talk at a conference,one of which is not running over the talk's time limit. They also talk about what it takes to get accepted to talk at a conference. Philip mentions he just submitted a proposal to give a talk in JSConf Hawaiʻi which takes place on February 5th-7th 2020 in Honolulu, Hawaiʻi.
One of the interesting tips Philip shares about giving talks at conferences is how often times you will not be the person that knows the most about that subject in the room. But giving a talk gives you a chance for people to come ask you questions and therefore meeting people that you might collaborate or ask for advice from in the future.
