Description
Angular is a super productive and wildly popular JavaScript framework for stitching together great web applications. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide any consistent set of ready-to-use, great-looking UI components out-of-the-box. PrimeNG is that missing library. In this course, Building Beautiful Angular Apps with PrimeNG, you'll create a fun line business application, Agile Times, while covering a huge array of useful controls. First, you'll explore specialty controls, including realtime charts, searchable datagrids, interactive Google maps, popup dialogs, and tree-style controls. Next, you'll dive into advanced topics, such as drag and drop controls, and unit testing. Finally, you'll discover how to utilize the PrimeNG source when the documentation lets you down. By the end of this course, you'll have the necessary knowledge to build useable and consistent Angular applications.

Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Glen Smith and welcome to my course Building Beautiful Angular Applications with PrimeNG from Pluralsight. Angular is a super productive and wildly popular JavaScript framework for stitching together great web applications, but sadly it doesn't provide any consistent set of ready to use great looking UI components out of the box. You know, grids, charts, calendars, all that good stuff that our apps need. So most developers will go looking for an open-source library of components that look and work great. If that's you, PrimeNG could well be the library you've been looking for. In this short course, I'm going to take you through building a stylish line of business application called Agile Times. This will make we're grounding our teaching in reality and sticking with the kinds of tools and techniques you'll likely use in day-to-day angular app development. The course is part inspiration and part technique so whether its whipping up some sizzling charting for a dashboard, coding up some impressive form validation, or pushing the boundaries of massive data tables, we'll be pulling together all the building blocks of a great functional UI in record time. With the deadly grind all done, we'll head left of center and explore specialty controls such as modal dialogs, Google Maps, wizards, and even Outlook star schedules. We'll close out the course with advance use cases such as non-visual drag and drop controls, unit testing all your PrimeNG code and even diving deep into the PrimeNG source if things aren't working quite as you expect. By the end of this course you'll be building much more usable, consistent and beautiful angular applications in far less time than you or your team thought possible. So if you don't have an army of graphic designers and UX people at your disposal, but you still want to produce beautiful and familiar web applications that your users will love, this is the course for you. It's going to be a blast, so let's get started building beautiful angular applications with PrimeNG, now on Pluralsight.
