Hey man, before you give up entirely, could you just confirm — do you mean this course?

If so, which lesson are you getting stuck on?

23

I’ll follow through the course and get some feedback to you about it.

Not to rain on your parade but angular 2 is a very old version. You would be better served learning a recent version. The most recent version is 5 but 4 would suffice.

agreed, but the video course is based on angular 2, I download vscode , I am assuming vscode takes angular 4 but how would I tell it to interprets as angular 4, it seems the courses you guys are selling to follow are to old

what paramenter in the course can I tell vscode to use angular 4?

regards

Angular are having an identity crisis - what used to be Angular 2.0 is now known as Angular 5, it’s moving pretty fast.
I did take a look at that course that we run though and fully agree that there are better ways to do things.

There’s a Quickstart guide that gives instructions that have you automatically using the most recent stable version.

If you want to use an earlier version, you can specify it at the install as:

npm install -g angular/cli@4.0.0

Unfortunately sitepoint does not provide very good resources for angular as they seem bias towards react and vue. Without getting into a debate over frameworks I suggest seeking other more up to date resources for learning either angular 4 or 5. I would also recommend a book on JavaScript alone because angular has a very steep learning curve without prerequisite knowledge of several other topics. Books on JavaScript than perhaps modern JavaScript are a good start without just going straight into the deep end with angular.

I can’t really comment about Premium, but we have a popular tutorial series on Angular on the main site: https://www.sitepoint.com/angular-2-tutorial/

If you think there’s anything that’s missing or needs more coverage, I’d love to hear :slight_smile:
