Learn Angular, Nvda and Vue

Angular is a robust, powerful framework for building applications at scale, but it can be really intimidating to beginners! This collection by [JavaScript teacher Sam Julien](http://www.samjulien.com/) is here to help you learn Angular in bite-sized chunks. 

*Note from Sam: these lessons are loosely related but are not meant to necessarily be followed in order from start to finish. I've provided embedded code and links to GitHub where applicable, though, so you can always have access to the finished code for the lesson.*

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Angular Basics

Ever built a website? Did it have more than one page?

If it did, you learned quickly how essential routing is to the success of your project. And in so many frameworks routing is a painful and complex thing to learn.

But not in Vue!

Vue has an incredibly clean and powerful library called vue-router that takes care of everything you could need.

In this course, we'll cover what you need to know to get started with vue-router.

Vue (pronounced /vjuː/, like view) is a progressive framework for building user interfaces. Unlike other monolithic frameworks, Vue is designed from the ground up to be incrementally adoptable. The core library is focused on the view layer only, and is very easy to pick up and integrate with other libraries or existing projects. On the other hand, Vue is also perfectly capable of powering sophisticated Single-Page Applications when used in combination with modern tooling and supporting libraries.

A Journey with Vue-Router

Modern applications know how to keep users informed of realtime updates through notifications, popups, and other messages.

On the development side, the ability to not only create web apps but have them communicate in realtime is a quirky, standout skill for your resume. It’s interesting, useful, and powerful.

In this course, Mark Barton will show you how to use Socket.io to facilitate bi-directional client-server communication and notifications using Vue on the frontend. Socket.io is a JS library that connects a client-side library to a node.js server. In the course, you’ll see how to use Socket.io to broadcast simultaneously to all or targeted clients based on filters you set up — so the right people see the right message at the right time.

You’ll learn to set up and connect Socket.io with node.js and Vue, and you’ll get practice making informed, complex architectural decisions around realtime broadcast messaging.

Vue and Socket.io for Real-Time Communication

This collection of lessons will give you some practical tips and tricks to create faster and more reliable Angular applications. They are highly inspired by the content published on [web.dev/angular](https://web.dev/angular) by [Minko Gechev](https://twitter.com/mgechev) and [Stephen Fluin](https://twitter.com/stephenfluin).

**What you'll learn here is how to..**

- improve an app's TTI via route-level code splitting and lazy loading
- implement a loading indicator for lazy loaded routes
- improve performance via preloading all lazy modules 
- implement a custom preloading strategy
- preload lazy loaded modules with the Angular CLI
- optimize Angular's Change Detection
- implement virtual scrolling for large lists with the Angular CDK
- add client-side precaching with Angular and service workers

That said, have fun 🚀

Build Performant and Progressive Angular Applications

Angular elements are one of the major innovations in Angular 6+. Elements allow us to develop Angular components like we always have through Angular’s powerful API, and then compile them into browser-native custom elements. With custom elements, we can define new HTML elements in a framework-agnostic way that adheres to web standards. We can also extend the HTML by defining a tag whose content is created and controlled by JavaScript code.

In this course, we’ll look at how to leverage Angular elements within our Angular apps to make them even more dynamic — a use case that’s commonly required in CMS-like environments. Going a step further, we’ll also see how we can compile our Angular elements into a standalone script file, which you can integrate into any other web context to pass data and register events on your custom elements.

Thanks for joining us!

Getting Started with Angular Elements

As your Angular application grows, it becomes more difficult to manage application state.

NgRx can help with that!

In this course, we will learn how to convert an Angular application from using stateful services into using NgRx.

We will accomplish this by adding a new feature, including building a reducer and actions. We'll also touch on using selectors to query our state, managing collections with NgRx entity, async operations, and hiding implementation details with the facade pattern.

Reactive State Management in Angular with ngrx

Angular is particularly popular at large enterprises. Most of the time those line of business apps are very data driven and forms heavy. While Angular gives us two different approaches to implementing forms, neither of them is very satisfying, nor do they help keep the maintainability high especially in large enterprise apps. 

In this course we're going to learn about [ngx-formly](https://formly.dev/), a library that helps cope with some of the mentioned issues. With Formly you define the form structure once in your component code and the HTML will be taken care of by the library. This helps to reduce maintainability and moreover Formly has some nice reactive features built-in that help you reduce your form code even more.

Components are all about encapsulating decisions. The perfect component makes good decisions for you without making you think about it. Of course, no one knows what decisions you’re going to want. To make components reusable, we set reasonable defaults, then allow you to override them when you don’t like the decisions made for you.

This course covers three broad categories of decisions that can be encapsulated in a component: state, view, and logic. You’ll learn to move an Angular component from completely static to very configurable using a variety of techniques.

The course takes some of the most popular components in web development and applies them to Angular. You’ll learn to write components that are opinionated about their core purpose, but allow parent components to overwrite secondary concerns when pain points require a more complex pattern.

Advanced Angular Component Patterns

***Note: RxJS imports have changed since the publication of this course, these changes to RxJS have been reflected in the code examples underneath each lesson. The concepts being taught on RxJS are still applicable.***

Vue.js is an amazing framework that can easily update and reflect user input using templates and data-binding. But there are many scenarios where complex asynchronous behaviors (like loading data, handling "pending" states, timeouts, etc) are solved much easier by leveraging the streaming capabilities of RxJS. This course covers how to setup and use the features of "vue-rx" to enable streams within your templates and easily solve complex scenarios.

Build Async Vue.js Apps with RxJS

In this course we will create an Angular application that will serve as a public website. Normally there are quite a few trade-offs by using a Single Page Application for a public website. For instance, they are hard to index by search engines and if you link to them on social media you get a generic preview. Also, the initial rendering can take a while (especially on mobile devices) as the browser has to pull in all the JavaScript in order to render a working app.

By adding and configuring Angular Universal we add Server Side Rendering capabilities to our application. This helps prevent the issues mentioned above by pre-rendering the application on the server and serving this out to the user when she requests the app. Once the JavaScript has been loaded the app will seamlessly switch over to a ‘normal’ web application.

For good measures and to modernize our application we will add and configure a Service Worker that will allow for a native-like experience in the browser (splash screen, desktop icon, fast load, cached data, etc).

SEO Friendly Progressive Web Applications with Angular Universal

Progressive Web Apps are just Web pages, but with superpowers.  They load under uncertain network conditions, even offline. They’re fast and engaging, providing the best user experience. They can be installed on your smartphone if the browser supports it, feeling like a native app.

In this course I’m gonna show you how to take an existing Single Page App made in Vue.js and pragmatically convert it to a Progressive Web App by creating a web manifest, then it goes through caching static assets, external resources and streams using service workers, applying code-splitting and lazy loading, notifying new versions of the app or wether is online or offline, understanding the preload and precache directives, finishing up by showing how to audit a Progressive Web App.

Offline-First Progressive Web Apps (PWA) in Vue.js

Services and registering service providers are an inherent part of an Angular application. It is where you should define your application logic, they keep the state of the application and allow to share that among different components. 

That said, components can ask for instances of services by specifying them as parameters of their constructor functions which will then provided at runtime by Angular’s dependency injection mechanism. While services themselves are mostly just plain ES2015 classes, there are some interesting things to discover, especially when it comes to dependency injection. 

We can define services at various levels within our application, which allows us to control the scope and visibility of a given service. We can furthermore alias old service definitions to new, existing services which is handy for refactoring scenarios and we also have the possibility to define so-called factory functions for fully taking control of how a given service is being constructed. 

In this course we will take a closer look and walk step by step through all of these scenarios.

Angular Service Injection with the Dependency Injector (DI)

In this course we will explore integral Angular Material components. We will start with components related to navigation, layout, and structure. We will then move through the utility, input, and datatable components, demonstrating how each can be used to suit your project’s needs. Finally we will touch on theming your application to create a custom look and feel that fits within the Material Design guidelines.

By the end of the course you will be comfortable leveraging the Angular Material library to create an outstanding interface and user experience!

Structure Angular Apps with Angular Material Components

Vue is known for being super easy to pick up and quickly build great applications using the built-in template bindings and directives. As your application grows in complexity, you'll need finer control of your components.

In this course, we’ll define where content of a component should land when you define the content inside of a parent component with Vue slots and manage that relationship with slot-scope. We’ll continue with dynamic and async Vue components as well as use JSX inside Vue for complete JavaScript control of your components. 

This course provides an overview of Advanced Vue.js Components with quick demonstrations on how to leverage Vue Component patterns.

Advanced Fine-Grained Control of Vue.js Components

Client-server communication is at the heart of any modern web application. In this course we will take a look at how to communicate with your backend API in Angular, specifically with the new Http module(`@angular/common/http`) introduced and used in Angular  `4.3.1` and later.

We will learn how to configure the `HttpClientModule`, how to fetch and send data, customize HTTP headers that are being sent and how to properly handle error responses.

We will also take a look at some more advanced use cases such as listening to progress events and intercepting HTTP calls. Finally we will also learn how to isolate and mock HTTP calls in automated unit tests.

When we build forms, we know there’s a good chance that the data we want to collect may change. Dynamic Forms in Angular give us the ability to define the underlying object model before binding the form to the template. This lets our forms programmatically adjust to the underlying model so we don’t have to update each form manually as our data will eventually change.

In this course Google Developer Expert-led we will use Angular’s Reactive Forms and learn about the basics for dynamically rendering `FormControls`. We will also explore how more advanced input controls such as select boxes and radio button lists can be dynamically bound to our template. 

If you’re coming from AngularJS (v1.x) you may also be familiar with dynamic forms in the context of `Formly`, a library for automating dynamic forms. We will also quickly touch on `ng-formly`, which is the Angular (2+) equivalent.

Create Dynamic Forms in Angular

Dynamic data gives us the opportunity to build dynamic components. Dynamic components are reusable and make building large-scale applications so much easier. In this course, Juri Stumpflohner will take us through the specific use case of of creating a tabbed component which allows us to dynamically define new tabs.

On our journey of implementing this component we will learn about how we can dynamically instantiate components, leveraging the `ComponentFactoryResolver` and `ViewContainerRef`.

Furthermore we will explore how to define view templates, how to pass them to our dynamically instantiated components as well as how to pass data into those templates. All of this will be powered by `ngTemplateOutlet` and `ngTemplateOutletContext`.

Create Dynamic Components in Angular

In [Use TypeScript to Develop Vue.js Web Applications](https://egghead.io/courses/use-typescript-to-develop-vue-js-web-applications) we’ve seen how TypeScript Vue apps development by creating class based components and using decorators.

This course will extend it, showing you how you can use Vuex with TypeScript in order to manage the state of your Vue app. We’ll see how to type-safe your store, organize the state in modules, modify it using mutations and actions and write Vuex plugins, all by creating a beer shop app throughout the course.

Vue.js State Management with Vuex and TypeScript

This course walks you through the steps of creating a News web app using Vue.js and the Nuxt framework. You will learn how to create dynamic pages for each section of your application and load, store, display, filter, and style the data. Then end result will be a News app with multiple category pages, comments for each section, and user pages.

Developers usually have a love-hate relationship with CSS and styling user interfaces. But it is a fundamental part of creating nice-looking, adorable and successful user interfaces. In this course we will take a deep dive into the various possibilities Angular offers for styling components. We learn about the different APIs, how they allow us to conditionally apply one or multiple styles in the form of style attributes and CSS classes. We also explore the concept of style encapsulation and how it helps prevent our styles from leaking into other components.

Understand How to Style Angular Components

TypeScript is a powerful JavaScript superset which brings you first-class static type-checking along with latest ECMA Script features. Vue is one of the most modern libraries for managing the view layer.

Angular has fully adopted TypeScript as its language, and React has broad support for it. But, what about Vue?

This course will show how to take full advantage of TypeScript static typing on Vue apps by using class based components, typing directives and using decorators.
