Description
Script for Angular/JS
Angular JavaScript, commonly styled as AngularJS, is basically another JavaScript framework like React, Ember, and jQuery (mostly considered as a library). A Google employee, Misko Hevery, created and developed this framework. Compared to other JS frameworks, AngularJS is supported by Google.
For the uninitiated, frameworks like Angular add more functionality to JavaScript and HTML. Their primary purpose is to make it easier for people to create scripts and robust web pages. In addition, they reduce the lines of codes you need to write in order to achieve a certain goal.
To take advantage of Angular JS, you just need to include it in your page and use its numerous modules, expressions, filters, directives, and controller. To learn how to use them, you must have knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
Why Should You Take This Course?
First, if you are taking web development as a career, it is a must that you know two or three JavaScript frameworks. Also, take note that the three most common frameworks required by employer nowadays are jQuery, React, and Angular.
Second, Angular is fully backed by Google. You can expect that it will be continually developed and used for a long time. And that guarantees that the demand for people who know Angular will be always be high. Learning it will be a good investment of your time.
Third, it is also useful in creating apps, Single Page Applications or SPAs to be precise. The Web has become a huge platform for creating and using programs. The Internet is not only used for browsing information anymore, but it has become a place where things, primarily computing, can be done, too.
Fourth, MEAN (MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, Node.js) stack is getting too popular. For you to become a very competitive developer, you do not need to get stuck only knowing the common stacks like LAMP and WAMP.
Fifth, it is just too easy to learn as long as you have a decent background in HTML and JavaScript. To be frank, learning Angular is just like learning HTML5. You will be mostly adding new “attributes” in your HTML arsenal — of course, Angular is not limited to that.
The Advantages of Angular JS
As mentioned, one of the biggest strengths of Angular JS is the creation of Single Page Applications. Frameworks like Angular make it easier and faster to develop an application or scripts. You do not need to start from scratch. All the common functions and modules are already made for you, and all you need to do is integrate it in your code.
Another strength of Angular is the ease of modular development. Angular provides a better implementation when it comes to modules. If you have code that you will use over and over again, you can just turn it into a module and just call it whenever you want.
Code made in Angular JS is more readable, organized, and structured. If you are going to work with a team, those traits will make the work easier for you and your coworkers.
