Developing Applications using Angular Training in Norway

It is essential you understand the face of contemporary web development to attend this course. We insist upon JavaScript experience equivalent to the skills covered in Programming with JavaScript (QAJAVSC) along with good HTML and CSS skills (as covered in QAHTMLCSS).

This course uses TypeScript for all code demonstrations and exercises and so it is essential that attendees have experience equivalent to the skills covered in Programming with TypeScript (QAPTS).
