Description

Hello! My name is Deborah Kurata, and welcome to Angular: Getting Started. In this course, you will learn how to create great web apps and stay up to date on the latest app development technologies, by coming up to speed quickly with Angular's components, templates, and services. You will get there by learning major topics like to set up your environment, learning about components, templates, and data binding and how they work together, discover how to build clean components with strongly-typed code, as well as building nested components and how to use dependency injection to inject the services you build and how to retrieve data using HTTP, navigation and routing.

By the end of this course, you will be up to date on all the latest Angular knowledge and you will be able to use Angular to create great apps in the future.

Before you begin, make sure you are already familiar with the basics of JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, and to get the most from this course, it’s helpful to have some exposure to object-oriented programming concepts.

And after this course, you’ll be ready to move on to additional courses in the Angular Learning Path, including Angular CLI, Angular Forms, and beyond.

I hope you’ll join me, and I look forward to helping you on your learning journey here at Pluralsight.

Course Overview
Hello, my name is Deborah Kurata, and I'd like to welcome you to my course, Angular: Getting Started, from Pluralsight. This beginner‑level course takes you on a journey through the basic features of Angular. It guides you down the right path, making your own journey with Angular more pleasant and productive. Along the way, we build a sample application so you can code along or use it as a reference for your own development. You'll see how Angular provides a consistent set of patterns for building components, templates, modules, and services, helping you come up to speed quickly. This course covers how to build components, how to create the user interface for your application in a template, and power it up with data binding and directives. You'll discover how to build services for logic needed across components and inject those services where they are needed. You'll learn how to send requests to a web server using HTTP and observables. And you'll see how to set up routing to navigate between the views of your application. In addition, you'll see how to use the Angular command‑line interface, or CLI, to generate, execute, test, and deploy your Angular application. By the end of this course, you will know the basics you need to get started building your own Angular applications. I hope you'll join me on this journey through Angular: Getting Started, from Pluralsight.
