Description

Introduction

This AngularJS From Fundamentals to Advanced training focuses on AngularJS, a powerful JavaScript framework for building dynamic, single-page web applications (SPAs). AngularJS allows developers to extend HTML’s syntax to express application components clearly and succinctly, making it easier to bind data to views and manage client-side application logic. By the end of this AngularJS From Fundamentals to Advanced training, participants will have a solid understanding of AngularJS fundamentals, enabling them to build interactive, scalable, and responsive web applications.
