10 Years of Angular Academy - Throwback Series

10 years ago, in June 2015, we did our very first Angular workshop. It was in Vancouver with an awesome group of attendees. Little did we know that this single event would be the spark for a decade of learning and growth centered around the powerful framework that is Angular!

The energy in that room was palpable. AngularJS (as it was widely known then) was rapidly gaining traction, and developers were eager to dive deep into its capabilities. We remember the incredible enthusiasm of that group and the "aha!" moments. They weren't just learning; they were helping to shape the early days of Angular Academy.

From that first workshop, Angular Academy began to grow. We expanded to several new cities, welcomed hundreds (now thousands!) of bright minds into our classrooms (courses were done in person back then!), and constantly evolved our curriculum to keep pace with Angular's own incredible journey from AngularJS to Angular 2, and all the way to today's powerful Angular v19 and beyond.

This "Throwback Series" is our way of celebrating those 10 years. Over the coming weeks, we'll be diving into the archives to share some of our most cherished memories:

• Milestone Workshops: From our first international event to our largest-ever cohort, we'll revisit key moments that marked our growth.

• The Evolution of Angular & Our Courses: Remember \$scope and controllers? Or the big leap to components? We'll take a look at how Angular has transformed and how our courses have adapted every step of the way.

• Instructor Insights: Our dedicated instructor has been the backbone of Angular Academy. We'll share some of his favorite teaching moments and insights gained over the years.

• Community Highlights: We've been privileged to meet so many passionate developers. We'll be spotlighting some of the amazing projects and success stories that have emerged from our alumni.

• Behind the Scenes: Running an academy has its own unique set of challenges and joys. We'll share a few fun, behind-the-scenes glimpses from the past decade.

It's been an incredible ride, so, join us as we take a trip down memory lane. Let's celebrate a decade with Angular, a decade of learning, and a decade of Angular Academy!
