Get Noticed 2017 — it’s time to say hello!

This post is a part of Get Noticed! 2017 contest by Maciej Aniserowicz

I truly believe that everybody has something interesting to say, so few months ago I started writing my own blog on Medium. But because of few reasons, mostly because of procrastination and imagined lack of time, blog become dead — updates were irregular and moreover, it had something about 6 moths break, without any updates. But, I hope that with Get Noticed! 2017 it will change.

Few words about me

I work as front-end developer, and irregularly wrote here, usually about Angular JS (1.x). Some of the posts: about $onInit hook and simplifying controller tests, switching between YT and Vimeo players with $onChanges, dealing with not ready component bindings and different CSS frameworks inside one project with Angular 2 become quite popular, at least compared to other posts.

Few words about project

I have tried to learn React, Spring Data, Spring Rest, Spring Security, Hibernate… But there was no consistency in these attempts, project were small and updated once a few weeks. Now, with obligatory 2 posts in every week (with one directly about project) and at least 10 weeks of development I see a light at the end.

Chess app will be about… Playing chess. It’s empty now, but it will change in next few weeks. What about technologies? React on front-end with Spring on back-end. What about complexity? Time will tell. It will be nice to have WebSocket for games between 2 live players, and some (even crazy simple) AI to play single player. Also, interesting thing is to watch completed games, where list of moves will be loaded from server — but the true icing on the cake will be ability to watch notable chess games, loaded from CSV or something. Again, time will tell.

Conclusion

Just wish me good luck!
