Introduction to AngularJS (workshop)

What is this workshop about?

This workshop intends to give an introduction to AngularJS for those who had no previous experience or exposure to this framework. It is ideal for anyone who would like to understand its basics without digging too deep into the nitty-gritty details but still walk away with a good understanding of what the framework can do.

Is this for me?

If you want to get a quick start with Angular and see what all the fuss is about then this is for you. Whether you're a developer, designer, manager, entrepreneur or just starting out you'll learn something valuable from the workshop. Some familiarity with JavaScript or even jQuery will help you get the most out of the workshop.

Any prerequisites?

Ideally you should already be familiar with HTML and the DOM as well as basic CSS and of course some basic JavaScript knowledge won't hurt either.

Right, so what will I learn then?

This one day workshop will walk you through the following:

• Familiarising yourself with Angular - get up and running with the framework
• Learning how you can create a web application with Angular
• Introducing some basic features such as: expressions, data-binding, directives, filters and dependency injection
• Discussing some advanced features such as templates, routing, custom directives, custom filters and services & factories
• Rolling up your sleeves and get your hands dirty by writing a basic application that shows the power of Angular

You will also be doing lab exercises and all the material is yours to take home.

Who's teaching?
