Building Data Centric Apps with Angular 4 and BreezeJS
This course will teach you how to build data-centric apps with Angular, and leveraging the Breeze client and server libraries to handle all your data management within the app.
What you'll learn
When you need to build an app with Angular that will involve a lot of data presentation and data entry, there are many individual features of Angular you'll need to understand. In this course, Building Data Centric Apps with Angular and BreezeJS, you'll learn how to best leverage the features of Angular, and supplement them with the capabilities of the Breeze client and server libraries. First, you'll discover how to use many Angular features for implementing data presentation and input. Next, you'll explore how to use Breeze for getting data to the client side, working with it there, and persisting changes back to the server. Finally, you'll learn how to integrate Angular and Breeze to build out your data-centric functionality quickly and cleanly, with much less code than if you were to just use Angular on its own. By the end of this course, you'll learn how to make your life a lot easier building out your data centric use cases.
