I'm new to Angular and tasked to work on a UI using Angular, looking into payware control suites

[Rob A.]

Hi All,

I'm an experienced software engineer (30+ years) and have used Telerik products before (mostly WPF, Silverlight, ASP.AJAX, UWP, WinForms).  I've been tasked to work on a project that is .NET 6 Core for web API using MS SQL or MySQL databases and an Angular front end.  I've completed the web API and backend database work, now it's time to move to the front end UI.  Deployments will be on both Linux and Windows servers.

I'm very new to Angular, TypeScript, JavaScript, JQuery and requesting some good resources for learning/training myself.  As part of this project I'm also going to be evaluating 3rd party payware control suites once I get the basics of Angular/TS/JS/JQuery (from what I've read Angular is probably the most difficult to work with in terms of UI and data binding).  Telerik is one of 4 suites I'll be evaluating.

Some basic questions:

1.  Any recommendations for Angular/TS/JS/JQuery learning/training sources?

2.  My understanding is Angular is entirely client side and no reliance on server side, is this also accurate for Telerik Kendo UI for Angular (no server side requirements)?

3.  How is the data binding process with and without Telerik controls?

4.  How is page/frame/route navigation with and without Telerik controls?

Thanks, Rob.

Hi Robin,

To begin with, all Kendo UI for Angular components are native to the Angular framework. They are built from the ground up and comply with all features that come from the framework. Thus a good understanding of Angular is a prerequisite for being able to use the Kendo UI for Angular components in any Angular project.

1. Probably the most relevant tutorial for starting with Angular is the one on their official framework documentation site:

https://angular.io/tutorial

I can also suggest checking some online courses on Angular, typescript or JavaScript in Pluralsight or FrontEndMasters.

2. Yes, that is correct.

3. The data binding comes from the framework itself as the Kendo UI for Angular components are native they benefit from it:

4. The routing is also supported by the framework and that isn't a feature provided by Kendo UI for Angular:
