Course Overview
Server-side developers (Java, .NET, and others) usually find the web platform as a mess. Some parts look quite interesting and advanced and some parts look like they were invented a decade ago.
Becoming a FED (Front End Developer) is a journey. First, we discover the power (and limitations) of the JavaScript programming language. Second, we explore browser APIs like DOM, AJAX, and HTML5 features. Last, we integrate them all into a modern client-side framework like Angular.
During this 5-day course, we will learn and deep-dive into every major concept that is a must for a serious FED. At the end of the course, you will be able to develop rich client-side web applications using the latest web technologies.
