Angular Fundamentals with TypeScript

Course details

Angular is a client-side framework that makes it easy to build applications with the web. It contains tons of useful features such as components, directives, services and more and integrates best practices to solve development challenges. Angular empowers developers to build applications that live on the web, mobile, or the desktop. Angular is written in TypeScript - an open source and cross-platform typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript that runs in any browser or any host. TypeScript adds optional static types, classes, and modules to JavaScript, to enable great tooling and better structuring of large JavaScript applications.
