Online 6-week workshop "Angular 2 Development with TypeScript"

This online training class will start on September 11, 2016 and will run on Sundays starting from 9:00AM New York Time. Each session runs about three hours, which includes a 15 minute break. On Saturdays, we'll run 1-hour code review and Q/A sessions starting at 9:00 AM New York time. During the week you'll be working on assignments at your oun pace posting your questions to our private online forum. We use the screen-sharing software and participants will be able to hear and see the instructors and will communicate with them via a chat room. Each session is video-recorded and is sent to participants right after the session is over. Between the lessons students communicate with each other in the online forum.

FAQ

What other software do I need to have installed on my laptop?

We’re providing instructions for the software required for each lesson as we proceed. Most of the installations will be done from a command line. You can use an IDE of your choice (we use WebStorm)

Is any prior knowledge or TypeScript required?

No, but you need to feel comfortable with the syntax of JavaScript. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, we'll start this training with introducing the syntax of TypeScript and all code samples are done in TypeScript.

Why should I take this course as opposed to buying one of many inexpensive video courses?

While pre-recorded video trainings could be a great way to learn software, they don't offer the interaction with the instructor. The code sample that works fine on the instructor's computer may not work yours, which is frustrating. Besides, the Angular 2 framework is still evolving and pre-recorded videos become outdated rather quickly.

Is extra help available if I’d be having a trouble with course materials?

Students communicate with each other by posting questions/answers in the forum. Instructors are monitoring this list too. Also, every week we run a one-hour Q/A session where instructors answer questions based on the covered material.

Do you accept payments other then by a credit card or Paypal?

Yes, the payment can be made by making a direct deposit to a bank account of Farata Systems before this training starts.
