Course Description

The Introduction to Angular 7 Development training course covers all the essential topics and is designed to get students up and running with Angular development in the shortest amount of time. Developers and Application Designers as well as those who are tasked with supporting Angular applications will gain valuable knowledge required for success in their job roles while taking this course.  Angular is a JavaScript framework that supports the development of single-page applications that run in browsers and can also be used to develop responsive web sites and hybrid mobile applications.

This Introduction to Angular 7 Development training course will show you how to set up an end-to-end Angular development environment to develop, build and host your Angular applications. Details of the Typescript language, essential to Angular development, are also covered. From there the course introduces you to various building blocks of Angular applications including: Components, Directives, Services and Pipes. Form development is covered along with the essentials of form validation and custom validators. The Angular HttpClient, which allows you to make network calls from your application, is covered in detail along with how to use Observable objects which allow you to integrate reactive programming paradigms.
The course includes labs for each major topic that allow you to get hands-on experience programming and troubleshooting Angular code.
