Daily schedule
The daily class schedule is typically from 9 AM to 5 PM. We ask that students arrive a few minutes early, so we can start the content promptly. The last day of class may wrap up a few minutes early, so less content is missed for students who must leave to travel home.
Each day we will take a 1 hour break for lunch, at approximately 12:00pm. To avoid using up too much of the day for the lunch break, it is ideal to eat nearby. At each of our class locations, there are options within a short distance.
Please note these times are in the time zone of the location where the class is held.
Student preparation checklist
Laptop computer
Each student should bring a laptop computer, with any necessary access rights to install software needed in class (described below).
We recommend that students prepare their computer prior to attending. At various times during class, the instructor(s) will help with any remaining setup problems, but that takes time that could otherwise be spent working with Angular.
Connectivity
Students must be able to access the Internet, especially GitHub / npm / etc. repositories, using the machines they bring to class. A wireless network will be available.
Occasionally wireless problems occur; we recommend that students bring a wired ethernet adapter if needed for their laptop, as a fallback.
Node.js
Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment used by a huge number of
tools and frameworks, including Angular. It includes the npm and npx
commands, which we'll use throughout the class.
You can download and install the current LTS (Long Term Support) version of Node.js from http://nodejs.org.
Linux users: we recommend installing Node using your package manager or via a tool like NVM or N.
Web browser
Please install Google Chrome for use in class. While Angular works well with all major browsers, we use the Chrome developer tools and plugins like the Angular DevTools during class.
Editor or IDE
We recommend the following editors/IDEs:
It is possible to participate in the class effectively using any other programmer's editor or IDE. We recommend students avoid simple editors like Windows Notepad, as they don't have features like syntax highlighting and code indentation.
Photo ID
Occasionally our classes are held in facilities which require showing a photo ID for entry and to match the list of ticket holders. Although most of the time this does not come up, we recommend all students bring suitable ID.
Angular Boot Camp is a production of Oasis Digital, a Valiantys company.
