My Story

A Journey from PHP to Nrwl/NX

Beginning in 2011 with an internship, I started exploring the world of server-client-architectures and the Model View Controller pattern. My first applications have been written in PHP using MySQL databases. A few years later I discovered the advantages of AJAX and interactive web clients. This lead me to learn JavaScript, as well as CoffeeScript on top. With AngularJS my apps finally became synergetic and highly dynamic, offering a fantastic user experience compared to static PHP rendered websites. The introduction of Angular 2 with its improved simplicity and modularity made web development become real fun.

Soon enough I have learned the importance of modular architecture and have become proficient in building scalable applications with Nrwl/NX. The powerful tooling and automation capabilities provided by Nrwl/NX have revolutionized my development workflow and have made me much more efficient and productive. The use of monorepos and the ability to manage multiple projects from a single workspace has been a game-changer for me. I have also become proficient in using advanced concepts like state management and reactive programming with Nrwl/NX. Overall, my journey from PHP to Nrwl/NX has been a thrilling and educational experience, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow as a developer.
