Using Chef to Deploy A Simple Ionic/Angular Todo App on AWS

I spent the better half of two weeks learning Chef as a foray into Infrastructure as code. Devops can be difficult to learn, so I decided to set up a development, staging, and production server on AWS using Chef to manage server setup, package dependencies, and encrypted password vaulting. Repo

Kinto is my favorite NoSql Database option since it is self hosted and has all the features I need. Here’s what I had to do to get it working on my BSD server.

THE absolute fastest way to build your Ionic v3/v4 app (for Android)

Ionic 4 is out horray, and I am testing out a new distro (shocker). Let’s find out the absolute minimal steps to get Android Stuido installed and our env variables set so we can run ionic cordova build android.

I find myself frequently working on systems that are not mine. Some of the tools that I have spent the most time learning are the ones that I have gotten massively efficient on. For example, my (beloved) code editor Vim is ubiquitous on most systems I use, but will never be set up in the way I need as it is currently default installed in these ubiquitious locations.
