Angular 2, Part 2 of 3: Tools

Course description

Learn all about Angular 2's robust tool set for applications with this course. First, you will explore routing and MVC frameworks. By watching this course, you will gain an understanding of directives and displaying html from both a structural and attribute perspective and you will learn how services can make code reuse easier. Finally, you'll dive into HTTP services for data retrieval and the formatting of data using pipes. After completing this course, you'll have a better understanding of the tools Angular 2 offers.

Each LearnNowOnline training course is made up of Modules (typically an hour in length). Within each module there are Topics (typically 15-30 minutes each) and Subtopics (typically 2-5 minutes each). There is a Post Exam for each Module that must be passed with a score of 70% or higher to successfully and fully complete the course.

Prerequisites

This course assumes that you have some HTML and JavaScript programming experience. As with any such course, the more experience you bring to the course, the more you’ll get out of it. This course moves quickly through a broad range of Angular2 topics, but it does not require any prior AngularJS skills since Angular2 has been completely rewritten and is not simply an upgrade to AngularJS 1.x. This course also assumes that you are familiar with how to use the operating system that you are running. For example, the course might say simply “Open Notepad” without explaining how to do that. You should also be able to navigate the folder hierarchy using Windows Explorer (Windows) or Finder (Mac) and with Command-Prompt (Windows) or Terminal (Mac).
