Just a guess, but Buffett would often host undergrad and grad students at his home.

I find it really annoying when people just present fully-formed solutions. In my opinion, this misses the whole point of problem-solving.
I was interning at a small startup and made some financial models in Excel (using functions like index and match together).
At the time, I told a programmer at the company that I wanted to learn programming. He looked at my work and told me that I was already doing it. I didn't believe him because I didn't think it was "real coding". I thought he was just being nice.
My first "real coding" was a year later. I modified a few of the example apps from "Head First PHP & MySQL" (https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/head-first-php/97805961...).
https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-router/blob/master/README.m...
The "Nested States & Views" section of the README links to a full working demo on Plunker that does exactly what you want:
This is why I encourage all developers to take some time to teach new people. The "everyone knows this obviously" attitude goes away very quickly if you start doing this.
The aim of the video was to make it accessible to just about everybody. So if you know this stuff you can watch the first minute and stop the video and get value out of it. On the other hand, if you're a beginner and you just did Codecademy, you can watch it through and follow it too.
In my comparisons I mention a lot of choices people might make, like Angular vs. Ember vs. React that are ultimately meaningless to the success of your product. I think this is what's resonating with a lot of people.
I don't think this is ironic at all. When I mentioned "framework of the week hype" in my initial comment (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11308043), I was thinking specifically about how people are handling the transition from Angular 1 to 2. I am in no way advocating using plain JavaScript to build your app. I even mentioned in the video that I rarely work with plain JavaScript.
There's a lot of distraction around Angular 2 for both existing and new developers, when it's pretty clear to me that Angular 1.9.x will pretty much look like Angular 2. If you read the release notes, this is very clear. They said the the primary theme for the 1.5 release was improving the upgrade path to Angular 2.
http://angularjs.blogspot.com/2016/02/angular-150-ennoblemen...
What this means is that keeping up with the Angular 1 release cycle will gradually transition you to Angular 2. But everyone in the community seems to think this is boring and wants to blow up their apps and go to Angular 2 right away.
This is the kind of thinking that I wish we'd see less of. Rushing to 2 when it's still in beta makes no sense from a business perspective. It only makes sense from a "I like to tinker with the new thing and try new stuff because it's fun" perspective. Some people will say it's a performance issue (since Angular 2 is better in that respect), but for the vast majority of apps that want to upgrade to 2 now, the improvements won't be noticeable.
For a subset of us, framework authors, open source contributors, etc. It's very useful to keep up to date on the latest trends.
For example, the Angular team has borrowed techniques from React. It helps for them to keep up with things.
For people like me though, let's be honest. I don't need to do the latest thing.
It's a great counter-example to all the recent articles about JavaScript fatigue. It's good for us to see real examples of sites that aren't caught up in the framework of the week hype.
At the end of the day we're trying to make stuff that works. ES5 vs ES6, React vs Angular vs. Ember vs. Aurelia, Angular 1 vs Angular 2, even server rendered templates vs. single page apps - it all matters a lot less than we think.

A lot of my Angular students loved using Firebase as they went through my Angular Course, so I thought it would be cool to extract just the Firebase content out into its own course so that more people can experience what it’s like to use Firebase with AngularJS.
This course is intended for people that have at least some familiarity with Angular and want to take advantage of Firebase’s authentication, database, security, and hosting features.
When I was learning I saw the same thing you're still seeing — most tutorials only explain high-level concepts and when they do show code examples, they are tiny, arbitrary, and unrealistic. So when I quit my job to teach web development, I wanted to make sure I didn't do the same thing as everyone else.
What's weird is the founder/ceo of codeupstart used to work for code4startup.
Would be happy to share it with you and follow up with a chat about your situation. Email me at gordon@watchandcode.com.
The Angular parser will go through the elements in the DOM and look for attributes it knows about like ng-click. When it finds ng-click, it will run the expression "myEvent()" on the controller's $scope.

Email me at gordon[at]watchandcode[dot]com. Would love to get your feedback on what I can improve and what other things you'd like to learn!
BTW This is the fourth time today someone has asked if I'm doing a React course. I am thinking about it :)

The reason is that many pre-med students (whether they will admit it or not) took a watered-down course load and chose easy majors so that they could maintain a high GPA, study for the MCAT, and do a bunch of bullshit to impress medical schools. In a lot of ways, that ruined their college experience. Always wondering how things you do will affect med school admissions is a terrible way to go through college. It narrows your options and is the opposite of freedom.
Now let's say that you choose Rice-Baylor instead. You don't have to optimize for med school admissions because you're already in. Now you can take hard classes and do any major without fear of having a competitive GPA for med school. You can do internships that have nothing to do with medicine. Basically, you can do all the things a pre-med student (or you at Columbia) would not do.
This is the freedom option. It's the option I would choose if I were in your position. Also Rice and Baylor are great schools. You can't lose here.
With your freedom, spend your summers in Silicon Valley. If you got into BSMD I assume you're pretty smart. It will not be hard to convince people to hire you.
I know this is a big decision, if you want to chat more, email me at gordonmzhu[at]gmail[dot]com.
For a complete beginner the book is total nonsense and worse than overwhelming. The only plausible outcome is frustration and a higher likelihood the person will give up learning.
People need to please stop recommending JS The Good Parts to beginners. Please stop.
Beginners need an intro to the language and often an intro to programming concepts. What are they supposed to do with chapters on closure and currying?
When you think about recommending it again to a beginner, please stop and think about what a beginner knows, and what makes sense for them to learn as a next step.
First, really sorry if the comments still aren’t showing up. I really thought the doc would be working by now, but it isn’t.
The plan now is to wait a bit longer, and then tomorrow if there’s still no luck with Google Docs, I’m going to move the project to another service.
My gut is telling me to use medium.com for this. Medium won’t die under heavy lead, it’s well designed, and it also has some great commenting features.

I wonder if the bug you're seeing is something that is specific for Google slides in presentation mode.
