Angular - The Complete Guide (Udemy.com)
Master Angular (formerly "Angular 2") and build awesome, reactive web apps with the successor of Angular.js
Created by: Maximilian Schwarzmüller
Last updated April 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 224,681 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is the big one for Angular on Udemy: about 56 hours, 762 lectures, and roughly 872,000 students since it launched in 2016. Maximilian Schwarzmüller reworked it around standalone components and signals, and the last update landed in April 2026. It assumes basic JavaScript and nothing else. TypeScript is taught along the way. The real audience is anyone who wants to learn Angular properly rather than quickly, including experienced front-end developers who want the full picture of the framework.
Reviewers keep coming back to the same praise: clear explanations that are easy to follow, and each section works like a small project. The rating breakdown backs that up, with about 139,000 five-star reviews out of roughly 225,000. The complaints are consistent too. Length is the big one, and one student says the videos could be fewer and longer. One four-star review wants more on testing, and another notes the deploy and SSR lectures still reference an older Angular version. One two-star review finds his English hard to follow, and a one-star dislikes the mix of old and new approaches.
Value is strong for the hours on offer, with 30 caption languages, eight assignments and a legacy section kept for anyone stuck on Angular below 16. Pace is deliberate, so budget weeks, not days. The courses it sits beside, including The Complete Angular Course: Beginner to Advanced, are worth a look, but this one carries Udemy's Bestseller badge and is the one most reviewers finish happy. Buy it if you want depth.
Pros
- Each section works as a small project, so reviewers say the concepts stick
- Covers signals, standalone components, deferrable views, SSR and deployment
- Updated April 2026, with legacy Angular under 16 sections kept for older codebases
- Captions in 30 languages and 61 articles alongside the 762 lectures
Cons
- Very long at 56 hours; even happy reviewers say it drags in places
- No dedicated testing section, and one student says deploy and SSR lectures lag current Angular
- One low-star review finds the instructor's English hard to follow
The course was well-structured, informative, and easy to follow. The content was relevant and practical, with clear explanations that helped improve my understanding of the topics.
Listed as all levels, but basic JavaScript and web development knowledge are needed first; no Angular or TypeScript experience required.

Hear what my students have to say
"Absolutely fantastic tutorial series. I cannot thank you enough. The quality is first class and your presentational skills are second to none. Keep up this excellent work. You really rock! - Paul Whitehouse"
"The instructor, Max, is very enthusiastic and engaging. He does a great job of explaining what he's doing and why rather than having students just mimic his coding. Max was also very responsive to questions. I would recommend this course and any others that he offers. Thanks, Max!"
"As a person new to both JavaScript and Angular 2 I found this course extremely helpful because Max does a great job of explaining all the important concepts behind the code. Max has a great teaching ability to focus on what his audience needs to understand."
This Course uses TypeScript
TypeScript is the main language used by the official Angular team and the language you'll mostly see in Angular tutorials. It's a superset to JavaScript and makes writing Angular apps really easy. Using it ensures, that you will have the best possible preparation for creating Angular apps. Check out the free videos for more information.
TypeScript knowledge is, however, not required - basic JavaScript knowledge is enough.
Why Angular?
Angular is the next big deal. Being the successor of the overwhelmingly successful Angular.js framework it’s bound to shape the future of frontend development in a similar way. The powerful features and capabilities of Angular allow you to create complex, customizable, modern, responsive and user friendly web applications.
Angular is faster than Angular 1 and offers a much more flexible and modular development approach. After taking this course you’ll be able to fully take advantage of all those features and start developing awesome applications immediately.
Due to the drastic differences between Angular 1 and Angular (= Angular 2+) you don’t need to know anything about Angular.js to be able to benefit from this course and build your futures projects with Angular.
Get a very deep understanding of how to create Angular applications
This course will teach you all the fundamentals about modules, directives, components, databinding, routing, HTTP access and much more! We will take a lot of deep dives and each section is backed up with a real project. All examples showcase the features Angular offers and how to apply them correctly.
Specifically you will learn:
Which architecture Angular uses
How to use TypeScript to write Angular applications
All about directives and components, including the creation of custom directives/ components
How databinding works
All about routing and handling navigation
What pipes are and how to use them
How to send HTTP requests (e.g. to REST APIs)

Experience as (Web) Developer
Starting out at the age of 12 I never stopped learning new programming skills and languages. Early I started creating websites for friends and just for fun as well. Besides web development I also explored Python and other non-web-only languages. This passion has since lasted and lead to my decision of working as a freelance web developer and consultant. The success and fun I have in this job is immense and really keeps that passion burningly alive.
Starting web development on the backend (PHP with Laravel, NodeJS, Python) I also became more and more of a frontend developer using modern frameworks like React, Angular or VueJS in a lot of projects. I love both worlds nowadays!
I also build full-stack applications and acquired expert DevOps and cloud computing knowledge - proven by the many AWS certifications I hold (incl. the top-level Solutions Architect Professional certification).
As a self-taught developer I had the chance to broaden my horizon by studying Business Administration where I hold a Master's degree. That enabled me to work in a major strategy consultancy as well as a bank. While learning, that I enjoy development more than these fields, the time in this sector greatly improved my overall experience and skills.

The course was well-structured, informative, and easy to follow. The content was relevant and practical, with clear explanations that helped improve my understanding of the topics. Overall, it was a very useful learning experience.
By Denny Rieche on 7/16/2026
The course is pretty feature-complete and updated since many years. Some parts like Testing - an essential part of Angular development - or Signals (course references ng 16 while ng 22 is available) could demand a little more attention.
By Mahmoud Khaled Omar Abd El-Aziz on 7/7/2026
It covers a basics of angular that enable you start with your project you caj build complex project by these instructions but to be honest it lacks some important concepts and didn't focus them more so the student needs to boost knowledge from other resources
By Khawaja Shaz Ahmad on 6/30/2026
So far, the course has been great. Everything is explained clearly, and all the Angular concepts are becoming easy to understand. Looking forward to the rest of the course!
By Trần Anh Tú on 5/6/2026
Pros: The instructor has extensive knowledge and strong real-world experience, and it’s clear that a huge amount of effort was invested into this course. Cons: He demonstrates too many different approaches for the same solution, which can sometimes make learning new concepts challenging. I understand that this is part of the beauty of coding, but for beginners, it may make it harder to identify the core problem-solving logic and develop a clear thought process for arriving at a solution. Personally, I found the course most beneficial when I spent time reading Angular documentation and learning the theory behind each chapter before watching the videos. I also chose to focus on only one approach for each problem I encountered. If future companies use different approaches, I can learn and adapt to them later.
By Cixtian Rush on 3/23/2026
So far it's been a good match. I've been developing in Angular for a good long time, but have taken a break from the industry for about 3 years, so I'm trying to ramp back up and inject myself into the market, and I think this is gonna put me right where I want to be.
By Thiago Átila de Souza Ferreira on 2/8/2026
De fato, um guia bem completo. Muito abrangente para lidar com sistemas onde as versões do Angular não são tão atuais, bem como para se familiarizar com as novas.
By Paulius Lapinskas on 2/6/2026
Been using knowledge gained from this course for over half a year. Really helped to understand the framework and how it works. Good preparation with basics for professional work.
By Bartłomiej Stępień on 1/21/2026
This course met my expectations. I am so happy that I decided to take it and complete it. Max is describing topics slowly (so that anyone can understand) and precisely (right to the point). Also, it is amazing that he explained how everything works under the hood. Recommend this course for anyone willing to learn modern Angular. Also this course helped me so much so that I was able to migrate FE at my company together with a friend from older Angular version to the latest one. Simultaneously adding signals, standalone components and more (as those things were not there in the old version of the app). All that using latest best practices.
