Welcome to Coffee and Code with me, Dan Vega for the week of Mar 1 - Mar 7, 2020. This newsletter is a little insight into what I was up to this week, things I found interesting and anything on my radar for the upcoming week. If you don't already have one grab a cup and your favorite beverage and let's get to it.
Previous Week
The news this week was dominated by the Coronavirus and rightfully so. My Twitter timeline was filled with news of so many conferences canceling. While it was probably a hard decision for the conference organizers, it was the right one.
Next, I want to say thank you to my friends over at JS & Friends Conference for mentioning me in the Developer Community Spotlight.
Meet @therealdanvega our first #DeveloperCommunity Spotlight. Thank you for helping #DeveloperCommunity Dan.#JSFriendsConf pic.twitter.com/Egp6sh87sS

YouTube Channel Updates
I mentioned this last week but to nobody's surprise when you get more consistent with your content you can expect to see improvements in your analytics. I am really encouraged and excited to see these numbers going up and I hope this trend continues. If you have been following along I have some pretty big goals and goal #1 of 10,000 subscribers is insight.
I produced three new videos this week, I hope you enjoy them!
Spring Boot Quick Start: Spring Boot Tutorial for Beginners
In this presentation, I am going to talk to you about some of the new and exciting features coming to Vue 3. I originally put this presentation together for a conference here in Ohio called CodeMash. I put a lot of work into this presentation and have only given it twice now so I decided to sit down and record it for YouTube.
Vue 3: Smaller, Faster & Stronger
In this presentation, I am going to talk to you about some of the new and exciting features coming to Vue 3. I originally put this presentation together for a conference here in Ohio called CodeMash.

Creating Your First Github Pull Request
In this tutorial, I am going to show you how to create a simple pull request by submitting your first pull request to Github. After we walk through submitting your first pull request to Github I am going to show you how to find issues that you can work on in some of your favorite open-source projects. If you want to contribute on open-source projects these days it is important to understand how to find issues that you can work on and understand the process for getting your changes into a project.
Upcoming Week
This week I am working on something really exciting that I hoping to share with you very soon. I was able to record 3 videos this weekend so as long as I can get them edited I will have them published
