I have now pushed my project onto Heroku. It was much easier this time around, compared to my MoneyJar application. Probably because this is a mean stack application and not a Java/Spring-MVC one. Or maybe I am just more familiar with Heroku now. In its current state it is only performing basic CRUD operations. However, […]
Lately I have been spending a lot of time working on a new project. A project that was designed to help me internalize and explore AngularJS in more depth. Although I have spent a great deal of time learning about MEAN stack over the past few months, Angular has been particularly difficult to get my […]

When I first started coding up my MoneyJar application I knew that I would learn something further down the line that would make me want to start over. Arguably, all projects start off one way and end up as something else. Does that […]
A few days ago I had a brainwave while trying to sleep. One of the problems I have been having with the development of the moneyjar application is that all of the tools I was building were not integrating in a nice way. The packages and classes were tightly coupled, and I had a hard […]
