Hey, thank you for pre-ordering my book, your support helps me create more free content for the people that can't afford my paid courses :)
I wanted to write a short note on how this pre-order is going to work.
I already have the app built, it's a collaborative shopping app (I know it sounds weird, but give me a sec to explain)
It showcases:
- Authentication.
- Multiple users using the same "Account" (We'll use Cloud Functions firestore triggers to listen to new members being added and create accounts for them).
- Using the Firestore database.
- Using the new async/await syntax for handling promises.
- Using models to get a proper type setting.
- Chainned queries.
- Offline Persistence.
I will start writing the book November 16th, on that date you'll get the source code for the app so you can start playing with it.
Then every week you'll get an update with the new content added (That way you can help me catch bugs or give feedback into topics you really want in the book)
If at any point there's anything you need, don't understand, or simply want to know more of, just shoot me an email and I'll be happy to help :-)
You can also leave a comment below, that way others can also chip in :-)
UPDATE: While I write the book, you can take a look at the code here:

If you have any questions while playing with it, you can open an issue in the repo (that way I'll be notified) and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Hey Jorge, looking forward to it. So far so good with Cloud Firestore on my own for most of the topics you are going to cover but definitely interested in some of the cloud functions, models, and best practices. So far, everything in my apps is Observables - kind of interested in the Promises discussion - is that a better way? Should I use both?
Thanks
