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

Duration 5 Days 30 CPD hours This course is intended for Experienced system administrators, system engineers, and system integrators Overview By the end of the course, you should be able to meet the following objectives: Configure and manage vSphere networking and storage for a large and sophisticated enterprise Use VMware vSphere Client™ to manage certificates Use Identity Federation to configure VMware vCenter Server to use external identity sources Use VMware vSphere Trust Authority™ to secure the infrastructure for encrypted VMs Use host profiles to manage VMware ESXi™ host compliance Create and manage a content library for deploying virtual machines Manage VM resource usage with resource pools Monitor and analyze key performance indicators for compute, storage, and networking resources for ESXi hosts Optimize the performance in the vSphere environment, including vCenter Server This five-day course teaches you advanced skills for configuring and maintaining a highly available and scalable virtual infrastructure. Through a mix of lecture and hands-on labs, you configure and optimize the VMware vSphere© 7 features that build a foundation for a truly scalable infrastructure, and you discuss when and where these features have the greatest effect. Attend this course to deepen your understanding of vSphere and learn how its advanced features and controls can benefit your organization. As an exclusive benefit, those who participate in this course will receive additional premium recorded lecture material on vSphere security.
