Intro to Angular Content

[andrew-frueh]

Where does our documentation fall short?

Many developers coming to the Cashmere library are new to Angular, it would be useful to include a guide on how to get started with the framework.

Great idea!

Resources and tips brought up during our breakout session during Open Space:

From Ty https://www.pluralsight.com/courses/angular-fundamentals

From Cory https://angular.io/start https://angular.io/resources?category=education

From Mark Hollier Here are a couple of courses that I can recommend: Angular: Getting Started (Deborah Kurata) - I really like her courses. https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/angular-2-getting-started-update/table-of-contents Angular Fundamentals (Jim Cooper and Joe Eames) https://app.pluralsight.com/library/courses/angular-fundamentals/table-of-contents

From Ty Jones ng test --include **/<file-name.spec.ts>

Very useful for testing individual files, too, over fdescribe or fit for things (easy to forget and then commit them all). Starts up much more quickly, too. Mark and PJ taught me that one :)

Really great courses here : https://scrimba.com

@corykon - do you still have your presentation from a few months back with Angular tips/tricks? Several people referenced that as a great set of things to include on this page.

From Jonathan King Some of this is covered in your content above Cory, but including a specific section about optimization and performance - particularly the big ticket items that can drag UX down.

From breakout room discussion:

• Angular courses on Pluralsight. We discussed Deborah Kurata's courses that Cory/Mark mention above (specifically this one).
• We discussed observables and RXJS. There's a bit of a learning curve when it comes to this topic.
• We also discussed that having a bit of education regarding component/file organization early on in the learning process would be helpful. Thinking back to some of my old spaghetti-code that got better with trial/error/learning.
