Hi there, this is James, in this workshop
we'll be taking a look at the Angular CLI.

3
00:00:11,350 --> 00:00:12,710
So what's a CLI?

4
00:00:13,820 --> 00:00:15,910
The acronym stands for

5
00:00:15,910 --> 00:00:20,460
Command Line Interface,
which is a fancy way of saying that a CLI

6
00:00:20,460 --> 00:00:24,970
is a collection of commands that you
run from, well, from the command line.

7
00:00:26,030 --> 00:00:30,560
The Angular CLI allows you to
easily create, modify, and

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,250
serve angular app instead of being
distracted by a web pack or type script

9
00:00:35,250 --> 00:00:41,110
configuration, the CLI enables you to stay
focused on the development of your app.

10
00:00:41,110 --> 00:00:45,510
It’ll increase the quality of your code,
and save you lots of time.

11
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:50,170
The Angular CLI started out as
a community ran open source project, but

12
00:00:50,170 --> 00:00:56,480
it’s now part of the core Angular
platform, it supports Angular 2 and up.

13
00:00:56,480 --> 00:01:02,470
The latest version of the CLI at the time
of this recording, supports Angular 5.1,

14
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:07,540
but it doesn't support Angular JS or
1.x apps.

15
00:01:07,540 --> 00:01:10,680
So if you're still using
the previous version of Angular,

16
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,020
the Angular CLI won't be for you.

17
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:17,800
The code that the CLI generates
follows the recommended best

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:22,020
practices documented in
the official Angular Style Guide.

19
00:01:22,020 --> 00:01:26,700
So the CLI not only makes it easy to
get up and running with using Angular,

20
00:01:26,700 --> 00:01:32,190
it also gives you a way to learn
Angular's best coding practices.

21
00:01:32,190 --> 00:01:36,060
In this workshop you'll learn how
to install the Angular CLI and

22
00:01:36,060 --> 00:01:37,950
use it to generate a new app.

23
00:01:37,950 --> 00:01:41,690
Then you'll learn how to use the CLI
to serve your app locally so

24
00:01:41,690 --> 00:01:45,570
you can preview your app in a browser
while you're developing it.

25
00:01:45,570 --> 00:01:50,550
We'll also see how you can use the CLI
to generate new items for your app,

26
00:01:50,550 --> 00:01:54,564
and we'll finish up with building and
deploying our app to GitHub pages.

27
00:01:55,630 --> 00:01:58,890
To get the most from this workshop
you should be familiar with

28
00:01:58,890 --> 00:02:03,456
Angular concepts like components,
services, and modules.

29
00:02:03,456 --> 00:02:06,030
 You should also be
comfortable with reading and

30
00:02:06,030 --> 00:02:11,060
writing TypeScript, which is a statically
typed superset of JavaScript.

31
00:02:11,060 --> 00:02:15,200
And you should also have some
experience with Git and GitHub and

32
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,040
writing basic commands from the terminal.

33
00:02:18,230 --> 00:02:21,850
