This tutorial sucks #13

I wanted to learn about adding Firebase to my Angular project. Instead I had to spend hours building a to-do list that didn't use Firebase, then finally I get to the part that adds Firebase and it's broken. My terminal is showing pages of errors. Apparently AngularFire 7.0.0 has breaking changes. The tutorial should start with adding Firebase to Angular. Just make it super simple, a form in Angular that writes to a Firebase database, and a display that in Angular that displays data from a Firebase database. After that works you can show how to style it to look nice or make a to-do list or whatever. And if it doesn't work you're only wasting an hour or less of someone's time.

Conversely, I really liked this tutorial because I was trying to learn Angular at the same time. For the solution to the particular problem you encountered, see issue #15 which helped me resolve it.

I do agree it would be nice to have an option to skip to step 9 for people who already know Angular.
