  2. Angular Styling & Animations (for Angular 2+)

You finished the business logic of your web page and you're done, right? No! Adding fitting styles and animations to a web page tremendously improves the user experience!

It's more than a little bonus - animations and styles help the user understand the flow of your page, pass on feedback to the user and overall improve the usability of your page.

This course teaches you which tools Angular gives you to dynamically style and animate your web page. This is not a CSS basics course - this course will really dive into the rich toolset Angular ships with, allowing you to build a reactive, user-friendly web application.

Just think about your favorite web apps: How many of these look ugly, seem to be styled randomly (and statically) and use no animations? Probably not that many - time to join the club of developers creating awesome user experiences!

This is what you'll learn!

  • How Angular helps you with styling and animating your web page
  • What "dynamic" styling and animating means
  • How you may either style the whole web app or individual components you built
  • Which tools Angular offers you to adjust styles at runtime
  • How you can use vanilla CSS to build nice transitions and animations
  • All about Angular's Animation package: Building, configuring and using triggers, states, styles, transitions and more!
  • Advanced Animation features like Animation groups, keyframes or callbacks
  • How to animate the appearance and removal of elements/ components
  • How to animate lists
  • How to animate routing
  • And more!

This is what the course offers - but is this course for you?

This course is for you if ...

  • ... you got (basic) Angular and CSS knowledge and feel like you need to learn more about adding/ using styles and animations in your Angular apps
  • ... you're learning Angular right now and you want to continue learning with more beautiful apps
  • ... you even already know the basics about styling and animating Angular apps but you feel like there still is some mystery regarding the styling/ animation of components

I'd be very happy to welcome you in this course!

As a self-taught professional I really know the hard parts and the difficult topics when learning new or improving on already-known languages. This background and experience enable me to focus on the most relevant key concepts and topics. My track record of many 5-star rated courses, more than 1,000,000 students worldwide as well as a successful YouTube channel is the best proof for that.

The most rewarding experience for me is to see how people find new, better jobs, build awesome web applications, work on amazing projects or simply enjoy their hobby with the help of my content. That's why, together with Manuel Lorenz, I founded Academind to offer the best possible learning experience and to share the pleasure of learning with our students.
