Course 490:
Building Single Page Applications with Angular

(4 days)

 

Course Description

This course shows how to use Angular to build fast, modern, scalable single page web applications (SPAs). It covers the principles of SPA development, and then takes the students through the process of building an Angular application. The course introduces TypeScript, the standard language of Angular development, and covers all the key elements of Angular: modules, components, pipes, services, and directives. The students will build a complete application, creating and validating forms, using routing and animations, and creating custom components, pipes, and directives. They will use both module-based and standalone components, communicate with web services using the Angular HTTP service, and leverage Promises and Observables. By the end of the class, students will have walked through the process of building a Single Page Application (SPA) with Angular and be ready to apply that knowledge to applications they need to build at work.
