This course has been designed to give each student a comprehensive explanation of all the techniques necessary to build solid web applications with Google's Angular. During the course student will work from scratch as wel as use the ng cli.

Students for this course will be familiar with JavaScript and have a strong understanding of HTML/CSS. Some experience of TypeScript would be helpful. We recommend to follow our Introduction to Modern JavaScript, Advanced JavaScript for Front-end Developers and TypeScript Introduction courses before.

This thrilling course offers experienced developers an excellent way to delve deeper into Angular. Throughout the course, developers will be guided by our stimulating course to take on a deeper knowledge and understanding of Angular without assuming any prior knowledge of Angular or AngularJS.

We will support students as they develop their knowledge from the basics of Angular through intermediate levels and beyond to include some advanced topics.

During the course, you will work on a case (a recipe web application). You will use webpack, typescript, scss, and the jasmine test framework.
