Course details

Angular 2 is a dream framework for any modern day web developer. It lets you build powerful and impressive web applications, with great development efficiency, speed, and performance. This course helps you gain a strong foundation in Angular 2 and the key concepts involved in creating modern web applications.

Starting off by building your first Angular 2 component, youll go all the way through topics such as deployment and automated builds by the end of the course.

After building your first components, youll return to the build-tools to understand them better. Here youll see how Gulp is used throughout to automate the building of your software to make your development life easier. Then youll take a deep dive into the constituents of an Angular 2 component and use them to reconstruct an existing example site for Google's Material Design Lite library. Once you have your application ready, you will learn how to test and debug it.
