MEAN Stack Developer with FamilySearch
My name is Josh Crowther and I’m a MEAN stack developer working for FamilySearch in Orem, Utah. I'm a self-proclaimed nerd and have been programming all of my sentient life. My specific areas of interest are currently: Polymer WebComponents, Angular.js, MEAN Stack Applications, and Gulp. When NOT coding I can be found on the basketball court, playing ultimate frisbee, asleep, or eating (not a whole lot of time for anything else).
I’m crazy about everything Web Development related and love every day I get to work with it.

Hacking $http
Angular $http is a great interface for making HTTP requests. It is configurable, easy-to-use and comes out of the box with each version of Angular. HTTP Interceptors give the $http service a whole new level of usability by allowing app wide configuration of the standard $http request. With Interceptors you can customize request headers, parse XML responses, and even implement a request retry service all without changing the already defined $http() function call!
Polymer WebComponents and Angular.js
The Polymer project from Google has recently taken the web developer community by storm. The framework provides an interface for building reusable Web Components and provides some awesome features like data-binding, property observation, and more! Many are asking questions like: “Is Polymer going to be supported in Angular.js?” “Is Polymer the replacement for Angular.js?” and others.
