πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈWho is behind Angular Addicts?

My name is Gergely Szerovay, I work as a frontend development chapter lead. Teaching (and learning) Angular is one of my passions. I consume content related to Angular on a daily basis β€” articles, podcasts, conference talks, you name it.

I created the Angular Addict Newsletter so that I can send you the best resources I come across each month. Whether you are a seasoned Angular Addict or a beginner, I got you covered.

Next to the newsletter, I also have a publication called β€” you guessed it β€” Angular Addicts. It is a collection of the resources I find most informative and interesting. Let me know if you would like to be included as a writer.
