Course Description

This Course in a NutshellThis course is a catalog of commonly used design patterns (and some anti-patterns) that every Angular developer should know. The goal of the course is to teach you how to comfortably design and develop applications in Angular in Reactive style using just plain RxJs, and nothing more.
This course comes with a running Github repository with the the finished code, as well as starting points for different sections of the course in case that you want to code along, which we recommend as its the best way to learn.
This course answers the common question: how far can we go in Angular while using only plain RxJs and nothing more, without introducing any state management library?
It turns out that the simple set of techniques taught in this course are very well suited for a wide range of applications, especially in-house built enterprise applications.
In this course, you will learn exactly how to use RxJs to design and develop both the service and the view layers of your application, and you will understand both the advantages and the pitfalls of the reactive approach.
Particularly when it comes to state management, it turns out that we can already go very far by leveraging only plain Angular and RxJs techniques, without using an additional state management library like for example NgRx.
These simplified state management techniques are adequate and sufficient for a large range of applications, and we believe that you should consider them first before thinking of adopting a full-blown state management solution.
How far can you go with these techniques? That's what you will find out in this course.
Course OverviewWe are going to start our course by taking a small Angular application that is written in imperative style, and we are going to talk about some of the problems of that approach. Then, we are going to refactor the application and explain step-by-step how to implement it in reactive style instead.
We will explain in detail every RxJs operator that we come across in this course, the first time that we need each operator.
We are going to start with a fully stateless solution first, but later we are going to improve the user experience by applying some simple RxJs-only state management techniques. We are going to use these patterns in order to handle some of the data of the application, as well as the user authentication profile.
The key element needed to implement lightweight state management is RxJs behavior subjects so we will cover those in detail in the course. We will also provide step-by-step reactive style solutions for common UI functionality like loading indicators or error messages.
Table of ContentsThis course covers the following topics:
Review of an application written in imperative styleRefactoring into stateless reactive style, understanding the benefitsSmart vs Presentational ComponentsStateless Observable ServicesThe shareReplay OperatorStateless UI updates (without state management)Introduction to RxJs Subjects and BehaviorSubjectDecoupled component communication using shared observable servicesUsing Observables to have components interact at different levels of the component treeError Handling and error messages in reactive styleLoading Indicators in reactive styleImproving user experience with lightweight RxJs storesOptimistic UI updatesManaging User Authentication state with plain RxJsLocal vs Global ServicesMaster Detail with cached master table in reactive styleThe Single Data Observable Pattern: Avoiding nested ng-component tagsRefactoring a reactive application to OnPush change detectionConclusion and key takeawaysWhat Will You Learn In this Course?
At the end of the course, you will feel comfortable designing and developing Angular applications in reactive style, by leveraging plain RxJs-only techniques. You will know how to apply simplified reactive state management techniques to different common use cases, and you will understand the advantages and the limitations of this approach.
You will be familiar with a series of commonly needed reactive design patterns, and you will also be familiar with a series of common pitfalls to avoid.

Very detailed course and very well built. Very pedagogue instructor. Perfect mastery of the subject. I recommend the course

By Azamat Sarsenbayev on 10/22/2020

The course is good, and shows some best practices, which will be useful fore newcomers.
In the part about optimistic films, they did not consider the case of request failure.

Love the Angular University courses, probably the only in-depth, non-trivial Angular courses on Udemy. Thanks Vasco!

By Nicholas Fallon on 10/2/2020

Good. It was what I needed to improve my professional skills as a junior software developer in my current work environment that involves heavy RxJS. It was a little dry and could have had more interactivity, but I learned a lot and don't know how this topic could have been made much more exciting anyway, honestly. Far and away the best of any RxJS course I've tried.

Sehr gut erklrt, gut vorbereitetes Szenario.

By Carlos Francisco Ragout on 9/24/2020

Good to learn the basics of RxJs. Sometimes the instructor is a bit repetitive in the way he talks. Overall a nice course!

good course

By Adebola Omoboya on 9/19/2020

Short concise and to the point

By Jeanette Lobentanzer on 9/19/2020

The explanations and the last steps are often repeated. So, it is easy to follow and write own code. All necessary information are given to understand how RxJS works. The examples are perfect to show the key concepts and typical use cases.

By Gina Villarreal on 9/18/2020

It has been really easy to follow the course. Everything is explained clearly, I've really enjoyed it so far. Don't be afraid to just rewind a couple of times to really understand the concepts and to press pause a lot!
