Set up MEAN.js in Vagrant

11th October 2015

If you have used Vagrant already then, you must know how powerful it can be when it comes to sharing local development environments.

This VM can then be packaged up and shared with anyone.

Awesome Text Editor - Atom

10th October 2015

Since I started using Sublime Text 2, I have fallen in love with the simplicity design. Compared to other more "robust" integrated development environment (IDE), it was faster to run, more customisable, had a large community and some of the functionalities are simply awesome.

Instead, I want to explain the issues I had with GPT and how to resolve it.
