Angular (commonly referred to as "Angular 2+" or "Angular 2") is a TypeScript-based, open source, front end web application platform. Angular is a framework for building client applications in HTML and either JavaScript or a language such as TypeScript that compiles to JavaScript. Angular combines declarative templates, dependency injection, end to end tooling, and integrated best practices to solve development challenges. Angular empowers developers to build applications that could be live on the web, mobile, or the desktop. If you're interested in building powerful web apps like a pro with Angular 2, then go for this Learning Path.
Packt’s Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it.
The highlights of this Learning Path are:
- Learn how to best move an Angular 1 application to Angular 2
- Understanding the best ways to take an Angular 2 application from TypeScript in a code editor to a fully-functional application served on your site
- Know how to maximize the performance of Angular 2 applications
Let’s take a quick look at your learning journey. This Learning Path will help you to migrate from Angular 1 application to Angular 2 and delve into the core and advanced concepts of Angular 2. It plunges directly into the heart of all the most important Angular 2 concepts. Alongside the Angular 2 content, the Learning Path covers the new ES6 syntax, Typescript conventions, web components, and RxJS observables, among many other brand new concepts. Next, you’ll learn the ES6 implementation of Promises and how to integrate them with Angular 2 applications. Once you’ve built a good foundation for the new concepts of Angular 2, you’ll work with implementing RxJS observables and understand how to use them effectively. You’ll then learn how to inject dependencies and wrap HTTP APIs with a service. Finally, you’ll go through the available testing utilities that are used by the Angular 2 framework.
By the end of this Learning Path, you will be able to gradually level up your knowledge and get a grip on Angular 2 concepts and features so as to build interactive web apps.
