Our take
Based on the ratings of 19,235 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2018. No course pays to be reviewed.
Mosh Hamedani's Angular course is a short, focused tour for people who already write code. It runs about 10 hours across 137 lectures and 11 sections: TypeScript basics, components, directives, template-driven and reactive forms, HTTP services and routing. The description says the upload holds 20 hours, but only the first 10 matter. It assumes basic HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and reviewers include Java and React developers who used it to pick up Angular.
Students rate the teaching highly. Reviewers call Mosh clear and well paced, and one returning learner said it took two weekends, not one, after six years away. About 90 percent of the 19,235 ratings are four or five stars. The complaints are about age. The last update was April 2018, and recent reviewers say the Angular version is very old, the screens do not match their local setups, and they had to Google the gaps. One wanted deeper RxJS coverage. Two older reviewers called it a cut-down version of his longer Angular course.
Value depends on what you need. As a quick way to understand Angular concepts, it still teaches well, and one reviewer says it suits learning the fundamentals fast, then moving on to the official docs. As something to follow step by step in a fresh project, it will frustrate. Some reviewers point to newer or more expanded courses instead. Pick it for the ideas, not the exact code. The 85,679 students who enrolled mostly liked the teaching, though the age clearly shows.
Pros
- Mosh explains in small steps, and reviewers say they could follow it with no Angular background
- Covers TypeScript, forms, HTTP, observables and routing in about 10 hours of video
- Bite-sized lectures across 11 sections are easy to fit into a busy schedule
- One Java developer says it gave the confidence to write Angular code at work
Cons
- Built on Angular as of April 2018, so versions and on-screen code drift from a current setup
- Thin on RxJS operators, and one reviewer missed lectures that were in the older version
- Some reviewers say Mosh's longer Angular course is the better buy than this cut-down one
I have worked with Java for many years. This class has given me the confidence to write Angular code at work.
Listed for all levels, but it suits developers with some HTML, CSS and JavaScript, not total beginners to coding.
What you will learn
- Master the essential Angular concepts
- Troubleshoot common runtime errors
- Write cleaner, more maintainable code

Course Description
Chances are you have heard that Angular developers are in demand these days. And you are here to learn Angular fast.

- Manipulating the DOM using directives
- Formatting data using pipes
- Building template-driven and reactive forms

You don't need any prior knowledge of earlier versions of Angular. As long as you have some basic familiarity with HTML, CSS and JavaScript you can take this course and start learning Angular right now!
Every section includes a few bite-sized videos and concludes with a coding exercise to help you master what you learn in that section.

Mosh has a fantastic teaching style, and just delivered the best online course I've seen in a long time. Mosh's approach to teaching and guiding makes no assumptions on existing Angular 1.x knowledge, but helps those who have to clarify new concepts. Mosh guides you through critical concepts slowly without skipping over details, and the course is extremely worth investing a few hours in, your understanding of Angular 2 will reach new levels. He fills all the gaps, presents impeccably well and the preparation was top notch, seriously can't recommend the course enough.
WHAT OTHER STUDENTS WHO HAVE TAKEN THIS COURSE SAY:
"Great course, even for seasoned developers. I'm a ReactJs developer using this to broaden my horizons!" -Tyler Markvluwer
"Mosh is a great instructor, he is very clear and concise and breaks down his examples into small "components" (drum roll please). Having never used Angular before, I'm really impressed at how easy it was to understand the concepts and even managed most of the examples without having to refer back to the lectures and that is in no small part due to Mosh's understanding of Angular and how well he explains everything. If you can't already tell, I'm really impressed Mosh" -Chris Graham
"It's the best angular2 video that i ever seen. It's all well explained and easy to understand. It's not need have angular1 knowledge. I'm happy because i've grown as a developer. Thanks" -Miguelangel Cabrera
"Very good step by step explainations. Focus on "why", then "how" instead of "type after me". Love it!" -Krysztof Gurniak
"As the absolute Angular newbie I was, I can recommend this course 100%." -Guillermo Aguyanes
"Mosh does a great job at explaining templates, directives, dependency injections and everything else. 10/10 would take his course again." -Rob

I think this is an older tutorial based on a previous version of Angular but overall I think this will do. I will find out how many differences there are between the current version and the older version
By Chaitanya Kumar on 10/18/2025
To refresh my skills - I revisited this after 6 years. I couldn't complete in a weekend but in two I did. (What'ss important is learner will feel like coming back to it because of his teaching skills and the way course is organised .) Mosh teaching skills are superb. Aspirants just have to give time to follow along and instructor covers what's good to know. I personally liked his style of teaching. I don't write reviews and there is no good exception than this review. If I come long such good courses I should let others know. This is benchmark for teaching online. Thanks
By Mintu Paul on 8/30/2018
It's really good. The instructor was really articulate when it came to explaining every part by including the examples and applications. However, if only they were further discussions on the RxJS operators, it could have been way better
By Greg Lim on 12/5/2017
Course not updated and not maintained. Its just a repackaged subset of Mosh's other outstanding course which you should get instead. Should delete this course and instead redirect potential customers to his more recent and expanded Angular Complete course.
By Yordan Uzunov on 8/9/2017
I took the Angular 2 version of this course that was based on the beta of Angular 2. That caused me some headaches because of all the changes between beta and final release. Now that the course is re-written in the latest Angular version, it is much more informative and easy to follow. Good job on the update!
By Devender Singh on 6/5/2017
This course will help me in building my career as Front End Developers. The course is full of examples which clears all concepts. Although there are still lots to learn as angular team is updating, I'm happy to join this course.
By Atif Anwar on 5/16/2017
First of all thank you very much Mr. Mosh. You explained very well about angular 2 core functionality. Now i have understood what is import, export, class, decorator and basic fundamentals of Angular 2.
By JatinKukreja on 5/13/2017
This is a great course indeed. Mosh sounds experienced and shows how to and how not to do a particular tasks. I have learnt things that my experienced colleagues don't know as well. Thanks Much! Feel so refreshed and excited to make better applications with Angular.
By Kapil Gidwani on 8/8/2016
Hi Mosh, You have created a parallel course on Angular and that have more updated contents(like authentication authorization ). I also have bought the course to build Enterprise app. You should have also update the older courses keeping in mind old students..
By Craig Owsen on 6/26/2016
Mosh is an awesome instructor. He has simplified the underlining concepts of Angular 2 and made them easily accessible. There is a lot of new matterial. I would recommend first viewing all the videos and then go through them again, working all the exercises.
