The AngularJS absolute beginner's coffee & code
Hosted by Angular Bucharest (ngBucharest)
Details
Come to this event if you want to get started with AngularJS, but found the online docs a little intimidating.
The idea of a coffee-and-code event is that several of us meet in a pub on a Saturday morning and learn new things by coding and watching others code.
Requirements:
In order to get the most out of this event, you should bring your own laptop, and you should have git installed on it, as well as Apache or any other program that makes it possible to serve the contents of a local directory through a web interface. Linux and MacOS make it very easy to do this by providing Python out-of-the-box so that you can simply run:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
and then open http://localhost:8000/ in a browser.
Make sure you have the required skeleton code on your laptop before coming to the event. The WiFi connection will most likely be problematic at the venue.
You can download the skeleton code by running the command:
git clone https://github.com/dserban/AngularForTheAbsoluteBeginner.git
There are 3 apps we'll be building: a simple traffic light simulator, a "Secret Santa" name-drawing app, and a toy app for kids to learn geography.
The plan is first to demonstrate the behavior of the finished apps, then do a short code review and highlight what makes the apps work the way they do (as well as how Angular is being leveraged), then it's your turn to "fill in the blanks" - build the apps using the provided skeleton code as a starting point.
