About this Course

Geared for experienced web developers, Introduction to Angular 16 Essentials is a three-day hands-on program that explores the latest features and benefits Angular has to offer. It provides you with the practical “real-world” foundational and advanced Angular skills required to solve the usual challenges you might face when developing modern web applications with JavaScript. You’ll leave the course equipped with basic skills required to construct robust, scalable, and feature-rich web applications using Angular 15.

The course starts off with a solid introduction to the core features of the Angular CLI and TypeScript. You’ll then jump right into component-driven development with Angular components, covering data-binding, directives, services, SPA routing, the RxJS library, forms, unit testing, and HTTP/REST.

By the end of this course, you’ll have developed a streamlined yet feature-rich application. This application will integrate components for website structuring, directives for dynamic interactivity, custom pipes for content filtration and formatting, and reactive forms for enhanced user engagement. You’ll also employ SPA routing for quick navigation, services for efficient data management, and REST APIs for modern, effective communication with web servers.

NOTE: For additional topics, labs and skills coverage beyond the basics you might consider our TT4168 Mastering Angular 16 Boot Camp five-day superset of this course as an alternative. These courses are also available for prior editions of Angular. Please inquire for details and options.
