My 30 Day Angular Learning Challenge
📌 Why I Took This Challenge
As a Java backend developer, I always felt a gap when it came to frontend
development. I wanted to become a true full-stack developer, and Angular stood out to
me as a robust, scalable, and enterprise-ready framework.
So I decided to commit 30 days to focus solely on learning Angular, building real
projects, and integrating it with Java (Spring Boot). This post is a summary of my
experience, projects, and resources.

💡 Key Lessons Learned
Angular has a learning curve — don’t skip TypeScript basics.
Master the Angular CLI – it's a huge productivity booster.
Services + RxJS = scalable state management.
Start small, build often. Projects make everything stick.
Integration with backend requires proper environment handling and error
management.

🧠 Final Thoughts
This challenge made me feel confident building frontend applications and integrating
them with a real backend. Now, I can proudly say I’m working toward becoming a Java +
Angular Full Stack Developer.
If you’re a backend dev and want to learn Angular, follow this roadmap, build projects,
and don’t be afraid to dive into RxJS.
