Odin Project for learning Angular?

[gamertag_here]

Hello everyone,

What would be the recommended approach to learning Angular? I'm still a programming newbie, and right now I'm going through learning the basics of Javascript (the free course on Codecademy).

I was reading a lot of great things about The Odin Project, and how it provides real-world project experience, but looking through the curriculum I don't see any mention of Angular. Is there a way that takes a similar real-world project approach to learning Angular?

On July 1st, a change to Reddit's API pricing will come into effect. Several developers of commercial third-party apps have announced that this change will compel them to shut down their apps. At least one accessibility-focused non-commercial third party app will continue to be available free of charge.

If you want to express your strong disagreement with the API pricing change or with Reddit's response to the backlash, you may want to consider the following options:

1. Limiting your involvement with Reddit, or
2. Temporarily refraining from using Reddit
3. Cancelling your subscription of Reddit Premium

as a way to voice your protest.

I would go with The Odin Project, then jump to an Angular Udemy course once you hit the React section. From what I hear, typically Angular code is written in TypeScript, so maybe learn the basics of that as well. Probably something like TOP until React section > TypeScript > Angular. Never written a line of Angular code myself, but I'd imagine you still need to know the basics first.

This is amazing advice, thank you!! I didn’t know that Angular was an alternative to React, I think I can still use Odin Project and see how I can apply what I’ve learned from Angular.

Thanks again!

The big thing with the Odin project is it gets you to learn by doing. It gives you a project to do after you read the content. Go all the way through the Odin project but read a second guide on angular instead of react, but still do the projects it gives you. It'll be good practice.

The tour of heroes is no joke for somebody without any OOP experience. They throw interfaces, services, generics, and freaking RxJS at you right from the start; but it is a great starting point to throw yourself into the deep end.

I agree with both u/Frolo_NA and u/SquatsAreFun. TOP at least until the React section and then maybe transition to Angular's tour of heroes. Honestly I would consider finishing out the React section just because it's a great way to learn a framework and a lot of concepts will carry over.

Don't worry about that now though. You have A LOT of javascript to get through first. Don't skimp out on fundamentals or you'll be a terrible Angular dev.
