Working within in an engaging, hands-on learning environment, guided by our expert team, attendees will learn explore: What Angular is and why should you use it How Angular reduces the amount of code that you must write to add rich functionality to both existing and new web pages What TypeScript is, why it is useful, and how to use it with Angular How to facilitate development and deployment using Angular CLI How to work with the various aspects of the Angular architecture to implement clean, responsive web interfaces How Routers can support navigation within a Single Page Application What the best practices are for using Angular so that it works unobtrusively and performs well How to use Angular with HTTP to support JSON, REST, and other services Working with the Ahead of Time compiler including its impact of developers and the development process How to defend against DOM-based XSS How to manage routing decisions based on pre-defined criteria such as a successful authentication How to meet huge data requirements by processing asynchronous data streams with RxJS Simplify server-side rendering How to facilitate unit testing Enhance an Angular user interface with animations and other advanced features Optimize Angular applications with various tools and techniques Maintain state within an Angular application What Angular 9 brings to the table and its relationship to Angular 8 Mastering Angular is a five-day, hands-on course that thoroughly explores the latest Angular features and advances, demonstrating how to solve the traditional challenges of JavaScript web application development. Throughout the course students will build custom components using application routes, form validation, and unit-testing. The course starts with an introduction of Angular CLI and TypeScript, and then delves into component-driven development with Angular components, covering data-binding, directives, services, routing, HTTP, the RxJS library, forms unit testing, and REST. Students will also learn how to add authentication, use the Material library, learn the NgRX design pattern to implement the NgRX store, make custom directives, enhance their application with animations, write an E2E test, and increase their application's efficiency by lazy loading modules and creating their own Angular library Angular Overview Overview of Angular Architecture Getting Started with Angular Getting Started with TypeScript Bootstrapping with Angular CLI Angular Project Structure Working with Angular Components and Events Third Party Libraries Dynamic Views Pipes Angular Forms Forms and the Forms API Single Page Applications and Routes Single Page Applications Services and Dependency Injection Modules Using RESTful Services Overview of REST Angular and REST Angular Best Practices Angular Style Guide What is New in Angular 9 Reactive Programming in Angular Working with RxJS Security and Authentication DomSanitizer JSON Web Tokens Route Guards Enhancing the Angular App Angular Animations Angular Material Angular Elements Deep Dive into Angular Testing and Angular Deep Dive into Components and Directives Deep Dive into Services and Dependency Injection Optimizing for the Enterprise Lazy Loading Optimizing with Universal Creating Your Own Angular Library Maintain State with NgRX NgRX Store Lesson: ES6+ Sass and SCSS for Angular and Material
