Angular allows developers to easily build dynamic, responsive single-page web applications that dynamically rewrite portions of the current page rather than having to generate a new page in response to every request.
Ascendient Learning's Angular training teaches attendees how to build applications using ES6, TypeScript, and modern front-end tools, including npm and Webpack. Students also gain an understanding of application architecture and design best practices in Angular, as well as learn how to authenticate, unit test, and manage application state in an Angular application.
Note: This course is taught in the current version of Angular at the time of teaching.
Skills Gained
- Understand how single-page web application architectures are different than traditional web application architectures
- Use new JavaScript (ES6) language features including Classes, Modules, and Arrow Functions
- Use new TypeScript language features including Types, Decorators, Interfaces, and Generics
- Learn Angular coding and architecture best practices including project layout and using container and presentation components
- Understand and use Angular model-driven forms, observables, dependency injection, and routing
- Communicate with a backend server using Angular’s HttpClient to load and save data
- Configure the router and navigate between components
- Unit test all parts of an application including Components, Services, and Pipes
- Implement Authentication and Authorization in an Angular Application
- Optimize Angular Performance by changing Change Detection Strategies
- Setup new projects from scratch using the Angular CLI
- Scaffold modules, components, services, models, routes, and unit tests in accordance with best practices using the Angular CLI
- Write End-to-End Tests (optional; taught only if this applies to your group)
- Upgrade an existing application from AngularJS to the current Angular version (optional; taught only if this applies to your group)
Prerequisites
Students must have object-oriented programming experience. Some experience with JavaScript is helpful; the new language features of JavaScript and TypeScript are covered/reviewed in class.

Reviews
Course was great and the instructor had an answer for anything that was asked during the course.
the class/lecture was amazing and very easy to understand and was in detail.
Easy to work with. Learning material pdfs were able to be printed out in color which was very nice to write on.
This course gave me a clearer understanding of the AWS cloud architecture.
Concise and good to follow along. Although it is a lot to take in under a short period of time.
