Course Description

Angular Awards Best Text Based Course

This AngularJS course is built with the intent of exposing you to the best available resources on each Angular topic. Our desire is to present these topics richly, and from a variety of vantage points, in order to afford you a more complete perspective on them. The learning curve of AngularJS can be described as a hockey stick. Getting started with apps featuring basic functionality is delightfully easy. However, building more complex apps often require understanding Angular's inner workings. Failure to do so will cause development to become awkward and cumbersome. With AngularJS, the "Ready, Fire, Aim" learning methodology of duct taping together a handful of tutorials and a cursory glance through the documentation will lead to confusion and frustration. This curriculum is designed to properly guide you through each of the key Angular concepts thoroughly with a broad exposure to high quality content. With your eventual mastery of AngularJS, you will be able to fluently and efficiently construct large-scale applications.

Pros

Cons

- Course is a great starting point for app developers who have never used Angular JS.
- Course does a great job of leading students into deeper and more challenging concepts. Many comparable courses stay too easy or advance too quickly.
- App developers should be equipped to start working with AngularJS upon completion of the course.
- While it is an introduction to AngularJS, it is not an introduction to coding and app development in general. Students will need a working knowledge of HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MVC and DOM to succeed.
- Free users will be frequently annoyed by subscription and upgrade requests.
- Course relies heavily on third-party supplemental instruction.
