Learn Angularfire, Angularjs and Egghead

This is the video companion to the [egghead.io Instructor Guide](https://howtoegghead.com/instructor/).

Screencasting is hard! There are virtually infinite ways to produce one. For an egghead.io lesson we expect several key aspects to be met. We want to make sure that our lessons have depth and clarity. Clarity is important and starts with the technical aspects of recording your screen and voice. Once we have achieved this objective level of clarity, we dip into the stylistic aspects of recording a lesson. The style is subjective, and the goal of an egghead.io lesson is not to have an army of uniform drone producing flavorless video content for the masses.

Our mission is to make you a badass screencaster. We want to push you to another level. We've found that a small set of standard practices will create an awesome experience for the student, and eliminate frustration as we teach by providing a repeatable pattern for success. It’s not complicated. In fact, it is simple, but it isn’t easy.


This course will show you how to produce an egghead.io lesson. We strive for consistency in style, and these lessons will demonstrate the core elements that create our brand screencasts. Let’s learn how together.

Bite-size video tutorials for badass web developers.

Record Badass Screencasts for egghead.io

One of the hardest things about writing non-trivial applications is managing state. In our attempt to effectively manage state, we introduce additional complexity by trying to control application flow and the amount of code volume that comes from all of this. Redux gives us the ability to address state management and communication in astonishingly simple semantics that can be explained in just a couple minutes. The beauty of Redux is that it is not only a library but a pattern that works very will within Angular 1.x applications. In this series, we are going to learn how to integrate redux (the pattern) into Eggly from scratch and then introduce **ng-redux** and add in **Redux DevTools** at the end for fun.

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Build Angular 1.x Apps with Redux

Implementing modern component-based architecture in your new or existing Angular 1.x web application is a breath of fresh air.

In this course, you are going to take a close look at Eggly, an Angular 1.x application for organizing bookmarks, and build it using modern patterns and practices, inspired by Angular 2's recommended architecture.

You will learn how to leverage ES6 in your Angular 1 applications through Babel, and fully understand the core patterns that are used in a composed modular web application. 

This course will teach you how to leverage your existing knowledge of Angular, while preparing your mind (and applications!) for the future.

If you are interested, there is a [companion guide](http://www.angular2patterns.com/) that digs deeper into the patterns found in this course and Angular 2.

Using Angular 2 Patterns in Angular 1.x Apps

How much work would it take for you to move all of your directives and their templates to several different new directories? You'd have to update the templateUrl, script tags, etc., etc. With webpack, this can be trivial. For example, you don't need to worry about loading your templates in the $templateCache ever again. Webpack will help you modularize your css and tests. All of these things and more in this series so you can start using webpack with Angular today.

AngularJS and Webpack for Modular Applications

Ionic allows you to build cross platform native applications using Angular. In this course we will convert the Eggly AngularJS application into an Ionic mobile application.

Building an Angular 1.x Ionic Application

Welcome to the *Ionic Quickstart* series where you will learn how to get started with Ionic from the ground up. We will begin with how to install the required dependencies such as Node.js, Android SDKs and even GenyMotion to installing and running Ionic. By the time you finish, you will know how to create, edit and run an Ionic application. If you are on Windows or Mac and not sure where to start with hybrid mobile development, this is a great place to start!

Miscellaneous one-off lessons on debugging, productivity hacks, and JavaScript tricks.

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Tips and Tricks

Angular Material is an Angular-native, UI component framework from Google. It is a reference implementation of Google's Material Design and provides >30 UI components and services essential for mobile and desktop AngularJS applications.

In this course, we will quickly build a real-work application Angular UI application, take a tour of Angular Material, and learn how ngMaterial can be used in your projects.

Introduction to AngularJS Material

In this series we will take a look at Gulp. Gulp is a task runner. It is the commander of our army of helper robots that take critical, yet totally mundane, tasks and perform them hundreds of times per day so we don't have to. When we sit down to work, we want to enter a single command, and then spend the rest of our day writing code, testing, and basically not thinking about how it is all glued together in the background.

Automation is critical to any project of significant size. We will start with the Eggly Bookmarks application, and develop proper build automation that will include **production ready** tools that you can start using in your applications today!

Angular Automation with Gulp

One challenge when learning AngularJS is that most examples are trivial. It is difficult to find materials on learning "real-world" patterns and practices.

The joy of Angular is that you are free to build an application in any form that you wish. MCV, MVVM, MVP, MV*whatever*... You get to decide! Freedom is wonderful. 

"But what if I choose poorly?"

Good question.

This series will demonstrate how to organize and tool your AngularJS application for real work. It's an opinion. A way that has worked on our own projects. Use it as a guide for building the solution that best suits the needs of your projects. All projects are different, but with the right set of modular tools you can build a foundation for success.

Building on the previous series, we are going to refactor Eggly to be modular and scalable. By introducing modules and sub-modules, domain models and state management with ui-router, we will start to establish best practices on how an AngularJS application should not only function, but fit together.

AngularJS Application Architecture

**Data** is the bedrock of any application, including your AngularJS project. This series will dive deep into data models, and how to effectively use them in your applications. 

AngularJS's solution out of the box is $resource, but this service isn't always the best solution. Many times we need a custom model layer that serves the needs of our application. This series explores building a $resource alternative from scratch using TDD.

It's intended for **intermediate-advanced AngularJS developers** that want to dig a little deeper to lower level abstractions for core systems in their applications.

AngularJS Data Modeling

JSON Web Tokens (JWT) are a more modern approach to authentication. As the web moves to a greater separation between the client and server, JWT provides a terrific alternative to traditional cookie based authentication models. For more information on JWT visit http://jwt.io/

In this series, we’ll be building a simple application to get random user information from a node server with an Angular client. We’ll then implement JWT to protect the random user resource on the server and then work through the frontend to get JWT authentication working.

By the end, we’ll have an application which has a single username/password combination (for simplicity) and uses tokens to authorize the client to see the random user information. You’ll be able to login, get random users, and logout.

AngularJS Authentication with JWT

AngularJS is an incredibly powerful framework but sometimes it can be confusing and frustrating trying to figure out how all of these amazing features actually fit together. In this series, you will learn how to build a non-trivial AngularJS application from the ground up through a series of small, digestible lessons. 

As we build out our sample application, Eggly, you will quickly start to identify useful techniques that you can apply to your own projects.  The videos series is broken out into three series so that you can start at whatever level is most appropriate for you.

### Getting Started

In this first series, we are going to focus on the absolute essentials for getting an AngularJS application up and running. We will start with a static HTML page and learn how to bootstrap an AngularJS application and add in functionality using AngularJS views and controllers. When we complete this section, you will have a functioning Eggly application where you can create, update and delete bookmarks and filter them based on the selected bookmark category. 

Don't miss **[Part 2: Application Architecture](https://egghead.io/course/angularjs-application-architecture)**!



AngularJS Fundamentals

Now that we have ui-router states in our Angular application, we can discuss the three ways to activate a state within ui-router. We will programmatically activate a state using `$state.go` and capture user interactions with the `ui-sref` directive.

AngularJS Architecture: navigating between states with ui-router

In this lesson, we continue to dig into ui-router while doing some significant refactoring to our Eggly application. 

We will start out by removing MainCtrl entirely from the application as we start to move functionality to more appropriate places with the application. We will build out the edit and create sub-modules to include the states and controllers for editing and creating a bookmark. With our states defined, will leverage them to manage our view instead of the ng-if statements we were previously using. We tie it all together by using CategoriesModel to track the current category and provide functionality to the BookmarksListCtrl.

We cover a lot of material in this lesson as we start to apply the concepts covered previously to finalize functionality in the application. 

AngularJS Architecture: Edit and Create Bookmark States

In this lesson, we review the high level concepts that we covered over the course of this series including file structure, sub-modules, data models, ui-router and animations. 

AngularJS Architecture: Review

Now let's learn how use the $http service to make requests to remote servers. In our case, we will load the data from JSON files and then make them available in our controllers. We will see a few techniques that I frequently use to make working with $http data a lot more convenient.

AngularJS Architecture: Using $http to load JSON data

We are going to learn how to filter our bookmarks based on the selected category. We will learn how to manage the current category in the controller as well as set the current category from the view. As a bonus, we will see how to dynamically apply a class to visually indicate what category is the currently selected category.

Building an Angular App: Eggly Review

We are going to complete the bookmark management functionality by showing how to delete a bookmark from the bookmarks collection. 

The source for this lesson can be [found on Github](https://github.com/eggheadio/egghead-angularjs-from-scratch-getting-started/tree/07-delete-bookmark). Tags correspond to the lesson.


Delete an item from a collection in AngularJS

We are going to learn how to manage simple states within our controller. We are going to learn how to toggle between the editing and creating bookmark states and how to sequence those interactions in the controller.
