Angular Fast Crash Course (Udemy.com)

Learn to use Angular 2, 4, 5 and beyond!

Created by: Edwin Diaz

Last updated June 2019

Our take

Based on the ratings of 2,729 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2019. No course pays to be reviewed.

This is a free, short introduction to Angular from Edwin Diaz. It runs 37 lectures across seven sections, about 3.6 hours, and moves through components, databinding, directives, forms, routing and HTTP in that order. It assumes HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Around 61,000 students have taken it, so it is a popular first stop, but the syllabus shows a tour of the basics rather than a build-along project. It was last updated in June 2019, and the headline still talks about Angular 2, 4 and 5.

Reviewers like the teaching. They describe Edwin as clear, cheerful and easy to stay awake for, and say the small example code helps a beginner follow along. Of 2,729 ratings, 1,432 are five stars and 889 are four. The complaints are consistent, though. A few reviewers say it feels like half a course, skips the reasoning behind small things, and leaves them needing another course. One calls it very basic and longer than it needed to be. Another asks for an update, since Angular has moved on.

As a free taster it is easy to recommend, with a caveat. One reviewer notes the basics still hold up in recent Angular versions, but the 2019 date means tooling and newer features will differ from what is on screen. Watch it to get the shape of the framework in an afternoon, then move to a longer, current course if you plan to build something real. Skip it if depth is what you need right now.

Best forBeginners who know HTML and JavaScript and want a free, quick first look at how Angular fits together.
Skip it ifYou want current Angular features, or enough depth to build a real app after a single course.

Pros

  • Free, and short enough to finish in an afternoon at about 3.6 hours
  • Reviewers call Edwin Diaz clear and upbeat, easy to keep listening to
  • Small, relevant example snippets help beginners follow along
  • Covers forms, routing and HTTP, not just components

Cons

  • Last updated in 2019, so it predates many newer Angular features
  • Several reviewers say it feels like half a course and skips the why
  • No coding exercises and no larger project to build, just 5 quizzes
I feel confortable following this course, I understanded everything and it was fun. This covers the very basics to understand how to get started and how angular works, great job!
Josep Colomé, a student

Fits true Angular beginners, but the requirements list HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so know those basics first.

Well, as a starter, it was a good course for sure. The instructor taught the lecture very well for a beginner to comprehend very well. He demonstrated with some relevant small example codes. To make better for this course, the instructor should update the course content as the angular version were advanced with newer versions.

By Veloxnet Kft. Hungary 2364 Ócsa, Damjani on 5/23/2021

This is an excellent course on the Angular basics, thank you for the FREE content guys! You know I started to learn Angular from another instructor, but Edwin I have to tell you, your way of teaching is way better! It is so easy to keep being interested with your style of teaching. I never get bored listening to you, and this -the teaching style- is also very important besides the actual content/knowledge.

By Shweta Agrawal on 3/24/2020

Hello Prof. Edwin, I was thinking to learn a new language for a long time, I tried many times to follow some tutorial and I end up after 1 or 2 lectures. But when I started this course I like it very much and it didn't stop me from following regularly. Thank you so much for motivating me to go ahead and learn Angular.

By Brecht Muylle on 2/7/2020

Edwin is a very pleasant tutor, with some humor and real life teachings. Not always everything goes according to plan, but that's the way coding/development is. So a nice a natural approach. I had some flaws in the course and needed to do some things different, but that's because I made it on Angular 9. But if you put your mind to it, you can make it work. Thanks Edwin, for providing such nice content...

By Robert Ortiz on 10/2/2018

Everything was extremely comprehensive. Edwin is a great teacher with a welcoming demeanor as he presents the content. My only recommendation would be to announce earlier that "you'll be covering installation/setup steps for both Mac and PC" to set expectations earlier. Other than that, everything was top-notch. I'll definitely keep an eye out for more of your courses.

By Akash Singh on 8/18/2018

i loved all the other courses from edwin that is why i am giving 3 star to this course i dont like it to much because he did not explain to much in this course you will need to get another course for getting knowledge of angular even for beginner stage

By Ebuka Nwosu on 7/19/2018

I so much love it, I have been taking several paid angular courses but still never got a grasp of what is being thought until i came across Edwin Diaz Angular course and fell in love with angular with a good understanding and grasp of Angular for free. Thank you Edwin Diaz, I look forward to taking all the courses you have on Udemy

By Nektarios Sourgias on 7/9/2018

I had other Angular courses but I couldn"t understand even the basics after. From this course I clearly understood what was going on. I loved the fact that Edwin explains in depth all the details and teaches you how to perrorm routing , binding etc...I couldnt find any downfall to this course... I hope he makes a more advanced full course for Angular in the future or combine it with a back-end technology...

By Sarmad S Alsaadi on 6/7/2018

This is a very good course to start off with but not enough to have a comprehesive understanding, however, it fits with being a crash and fast one. I advise Edwin to go on lower pace. It would have been better if section 6 and 7 on Routing and HTTP were given more details. Thanks for offering this course free.

By Brandon Flynn on 4/15/2018

Would take another course with Edwin Diaz. Getting installed was a little rough but I'll say that's NPM's fault. This guy goes slow but keeps it interesting. Really explains what he's doing. No complaints. Seems up to date. Overall has been a good introduction to Angular.
