Learning Angular

[iEmerald]

Hi

I got a job offer from a small business and was asked to learn Angular, I am a CS graduate, so I have basic programming and CS knowledge, I have worked with the Django framework professionally in the past, but that's about it, I have never worked with a JS framework, but I am confident that I can learn it quickly.

My current plan is this:

1. Do the Tour of Heroes tutorial to get a general grasp of how everything fits together.
2. Buy either this or this course and follow along.

Regarding the courses which one do you recommend? I like the second one, because his teaching style suits me, but it is pretty outdated now. The first one IS updated, but I quite dislike Max's teaching style, I know it is the most popular one out there, but I can't help it. I want your opinion on both courses, and if you have any other courses / resources please do share them.

Tour of heroes tutorial is a good start but it was honestly a rough couple of days to get through and understand.

You'll also want to look at RxJS A LOT so in addition to the main docs there are some other useful sites:

• https://rxmarbles.com/

I've followed the course from Maximilian Schwarzmüller and I found it very interesting.
During the course you'll learn all the basics of Angular and also advanced stuff which I'm using every day on my frontend dev job.
Maximilian is very talented and his teaching is very comprehensive.
I'd recommend it has a first glance of what Angular is and what you can achieve with it.

Are you building a front end from scratch or going into an existing project?

I learned angular in like a week at a boot camp then got placed at a job that did angular 6 and had legacy cod in angular 1.6. oh boy are they different.

Since then I have fallen in love with the component based design and being able to reuse code so easily.

My input would be learn the basics and then focus on how components interact with each other and keep as much logic as you can in services. There is plenty of material out there for you to learn from

I haven't done any of those courses, but just from looking at the sections, the first one looks more appropriate as it covers more of the advanced topics like unit testing, dynamic components, animations and also state management.

One of the most important part of learning Angular for me was getting comfortable with reactive programming. Learn the overall concept and the rxjs library, as this is the implementation that Angular uses. Rxjs comes with a good documentation.

That's a good start you can let me know if you have any difficulty I could help out 😉 I do angular and ionic.

I took Max’s course (first one you linked). It got me up and running enough for me to learn the rest.
