[Aphrodite](https://github.com/Khan/aphrodite) is a library styling React components.

You get all the benefits of inline styles (encapsulation, no build step, no CSS cascade, building up styling with JavaScript instead of a preprocessor language) with all the benefits of CSS (animations and transitions, pseudo-classes, media queries).

Learn how to use Aphrodite to style reusable React components.

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course. The concepts being taught on RxJS are still applicable.**

Angular has many built-in features for working closely with RxJS to help you build entirely reactive applications. This course will teach you how to use Angular with RxJS. We will learn how to use the ngrx/store library to manage state in a clean, reactive "Redux style."

This course assumes you've got a working knowledge of Angular and reactive programming with RxJS. If you don't, you might want to watch the following courses to get you up to speed! 
- [Get Started with Angular](https://egghead.io/courses/get-started-with-angular) 
- [Introduction to Reactive Programming with RxJS](
https://egghead.io/series/introduction-to-reactive-programming). 
- [Step by Step Async Programming with RxJS](https://egghead.io/series/step-by-step-async-javascript-with-rxjs) 
- [Getting Started With Redux](https://egghead.io/series/getting-started-with-redux), a course by Redux's, Dan Abramov.

We also have Intermediary Angular courses if you'd like to acquire more in-depth knowledge.

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Build Redux Style Applications with Angular, RxJS, and ngrx/store

Gemini 2.0 has a context window of a million tokens, and this means that you can upload hundreds of files and allow it to inspect and analyze massive refactors across entire code bases. 

This lesson demonstrates concatenating an entire code base into a single file and then uploading it to AI Studio. Once within AI Studio, we ask it to find the types of tasks that it can evaluate for us. Then we select one of the tasks and ask it to generate instructions for that task. Once those instructions are complete, we then turn them over to Windsurf's Cascade agent, and we allow Windsurf's Cascade to do all of the work for us as we sit back, relax, and let the AI do our jobs.

Use Gemini 2.0 to Create Agent Instructions to Refactor an Entire Codebase

Learn how to display custom components in a [Tanstack Table cell](https://tanstack.com/table/latest/docs/guide/cells), including how to render capitalized text, apply conditional styling with class helper functions, and format dates using the `Intl` API for readable display. 

`flexRender` allows you to utilize the `cell` callback method in your column definitions. Tanstack table will call this function to render the custom component you defined.

Use tanstack table flexRender method to render custom components in a table component. Capitalize letters, apply conditional styling, and render dates with Intl

I'm extremely excited for the potential of AI watching your screen while you work. I decided to take Google's AI Studio for a spin, which just introduced a feature called "Stream Realtime", which allows AI Studio to observe your screen and listen to your microphone while you work.

This video is my initial attempt to try and coach AI Studio through the process of building a site from a reference site, essentially trying to build egghead.io from a Next.js starter template. And we'll explore the various attempts we make and what works and what doesn't.

[Shadcn](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs) is a popular component library that allows you to install components into your codebase.

Learn how to install the [Table component](https://ui.shadcn.com/docs/components/table) and use that presentational component with [Tanstack table](https://tanstack.com/table/latest).

TypeScript's satisfies operator finally clicked for me when I realized it's almost always used for specific implementations of configuration objects. So this lesson walks you through the naive approaches I've taken before and how to solve them using the satisfies operator. After this, satisfies will be another tool in your belt in TypeScript. To clean up all the TypeScript code you have around configuration.

TypeScript's "satisfies" for Configuration

Windsurf and Cursor are both able to take an image and then use an agent to build out what it sees in that image. This lesson is going to compare Windsurf and Cursor by uploading the same image to both and giving them the same prompt. Comparing not only the results, but also the steps that they take to get there. We'll also try uploading additional images throughout the process to see what they do as far as revising along the way and improving the site as they go along.

In this lesson, you'll discover how to style View Transitions using CSS pseudo-selectors to create custom animation effects. We'll transform the default cross-fade into a smooth slide transition by targeting the ::view-transition-old and ::view-transition-new pseudo-elements. You'll learn how these powerful selectors give you precise control over your transition animations, allowing you to create more engaging and personalized user experiences with just a few lines of CSS.

Customize View Transitions with CSS Using view-transition-old and view-transition-new

In this lesson, you'll learn how to implement smooth state transitions in your web applications using the browser's built-in View Transitions API. We'll create a simple example that demonstrates how to animate between different text states with just a few lines of code - no external libraries required. This powerful native API makes it easy to add professional-looking transitions to your user interface, enhancing the user experience with minimal effort.

Create Smooth UI Transitions with the Native View Transitions API

I've been using Cursor for a very long time and their "Agent" feature in Composer is fairly new, so I'm still getting used to it. But since Windsurf recently got onto the stage with their Cascade agent, they've slowly been gaining the mind share on the UX for coding agents. I decided to put them to the test by putting Windsurf and Cursor on the exact same screen side by side trying to accomplish the same task and to see which workflow I would prefer. I've been a diehard Cursor user for over a year now, so it's going to take a lot for me to switch to a different IDE. But I just have to say, even from this simple demo, Windsurf is looking pretty nice.

This lesson is just going to walk through creating a CLI using both tools to print out inspirational quotes and to explore how they approach the step-by-step of installing packages and running commands and setting up all the files we need to get this running.

Windsurf Cascade vs. Cursor Composer Agent Side-by-Side Comparison

I've been using Cursor as my primary editor for over a year now, but recently I've heard wonderful things about Windsurf AI Agent features. I decided to record myself building out something I've always wanted to make, but never made the time for.

In this lesson, I demonstrate how to leverage Windsurf's powerful agent process to create a fun word-guessing game inspired by Heads Up. Watch as I build an interactive application featuring category selection and word navigation, complete with data hosting on GitHub Gists and deployment to GitHub Pages - all in under 30 minutes (before editing the lesson down to 12 minutes)!

What makes this project particularly exciting is how Windsurf eliminates the typical friction points of development. While this game was always on my project wishlist, the overhead of setup, configuration, and deployment made it hard to justify the time investment. Windsurf's agent process handles all these pain points seamlessly, from managing URLs to orchestrating deployment.

This lesson perfectly showcases how AI agents can help developers bring their backlog of project ideas to life, transforming what would typically be time-consuming tasks into efficient, enjoyable development experiences.
