Angular Workshop
Angular is a new JavaScript framework from Google. If you are looking into developing rich web applications, Angular is your friend. Angular embraces HTML and CSS, allowing you to extend HTML towards your application, and uses plain JavaScript which makes your code easy to reuse, and test. In this workshop we will start from the ground up, and build our way through a simple application that will let us explore the various constructs, and the familiarize ourselves with some of the new terminology in Angular.
In this workshop we will get down and dirty with Angular. In this workshop we will start with the very basics of how to boostrap our AngularJS application, and work slowly towards making REST-ful AJAX requests to a backend. List of topics include
- Bootstrapping an AngularJS application using
ng-app ng-initand the evaluation{{ }}directive- A brief look at
$rootScope ng-model- Controllers, Dependency Injection, and the View-Model (controller as syntax)
- Looping using
ng-repeat - Forms using
ng-form, form validation and submission in AngularJS - Angular provided filters and how to write our own
- Factories
- Making AJAX requests using
$http - Routing and route params using
$routeProviderand$routeParams
If time permits we will discuss a few good practices when working with AngularJS applications.
This is a hands on tutorial so bring your laptops!
