Angular Foundation

Course Objective 

• Understand Angular architecture (Modules, Components, Services)

• Set up a complete Angular development environment using Angular CLI

• Build dynamic web applications using components and templates

• Implement data binding, directives, and pipes

• Create and manage services using Dependency Injection

• Integrate REST APIs using HttpClient and handle errors properly

• Implement routing and lazy loading

• Build and validate forms (Reactive & Template-driven forms)

• Apply best practices for structuring Angular applications

• Test and debug Angular applications

Course Prerequisites:

Basic Web Development Knowledge:
Understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Familiarity with responsive web design principles.

JavaScript Proficiency:
Good grasp of JavaScript ES6+ features (e.g., arrow functions, promises,
async/await, modules).
Understanding of concepts like functions, objects, arrays, and DOM
manipulation.

Version Control:
Basic knowledge of Git for version control.
Familiarity with GitHub or similar platforms for code collaboration.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Basics:
Comfort with using the command line to navigate directories and run
commands.

Optional (but beneficial):
Experience with TypeScript is a plus, as Angular is built with it.
Prior exposure to any JavaScript frameworks (e.g. React or Vue.js) can help but is not mandatory.
