A study group where developers gather on a bi-weekly basis to watch, discuss and learn from Pluralsight's vast library of training.
The group will choose a Pluralsight course to watch and it will get broken down into approximately one hour segments.
The general format of each meeting is to spend approximately one hour watching a pluralsight training video followed by 20-30 minutes of round table discussion of the video we saw, along with a review of the code if applicable.
We will post all of the weekly sessions ahead of time. This way, if there are sessions that members cannot attend, the content we will cover is outlined so that members can watch them using their own Pluralsight account at their own leisure.
Angular is one of the fastest, most popular open source web app frameworks today, and knowing how to use it is essential for developers. You'll learn how to create components and user interfaces, data-binding, retrieving data using HTTP, and more.
Whether you are new to Angular or new to Angular, if you want to create great web apps and stay up to date on the latest app development technologies, you're going to want to come up to speed quickly with Angular's components, templates, and services. This course provides the basics you need to get started building an Angular application. First, you'll learn how to set up your environment, learning about components, templates, and data binding and how they work together. Next, you'll discover how to build clean components with strongly-typed code, as well as building nested components and how to use dependency injection to inject the services you build. Finally, you'll cover how to retrieve data using HTTP, navigation and routing, and you'll revisit the Angular setup process. By the end of this course, you'll be up to date on all the latest Angular knowledge and you'll be able to use Angular to create great apps in the future.
