Description

Introduction:

This training focuses on building dynamic and interactive web applications using two of the most popular JavaScript frameworks: Angular and React. Angular is a comprehensive framework by Google designed to create full-scale single-page applications (SPAs), while React, maintained by Facebook, is a lightweight library primarily used to build user interfaces. Both have their own unique strengths, and understanding both can help developers decide which one best suits their project needs.

By the end of this training, you will have a solid understanding of both frameworks, their key concepts, and the ability to implement them in real-world applications.
