Angular is everywhere. Angular devs are cool!

Angular and React have been the 2 dominant front-end technologies for the last few years. We have been running our Angular Superpowers course that entire time, and I’m still amazed that every time we run the course, we sell out.

It’s amazing because JavaScript frameworks have a reputation for being transitory, but these 2 have become entrenched in enterprises everywhere.

I’m currently in China, and they’re even popular here, with the addition of one more growing option: Vue. I think Vue is popular because Alibaba embraces it – or maybe it’s just anything Jack Ma does is cool.
