Hello everybody,
I was stuck in the very first lesson of Angular and while looking for a solution I realised that the course Angular.js might be rather deprecated as with v2 major changes took place. Therefore I am wondering whether doing it actually makes sense or if it is more useful to look for a course/tutorial elsewhere? Any opinions on that or good tips about where to look for material?

Hey @staledata ,
You’re absolutely right: Our existing course teaches the old Angular, called AngularJS. The current version of Angular is just called Angular. They have a similar name and similar architecture but they are different tools, so learning the old one will not completely translate to the new one.
We are planning to fix this! Hopefully we’ll have a new Angular course for you before the end of the year.
If you want to get started on Angular right away, you can visit the Angular documentation. They have some tutorial-like guides there. Note that their docs use TypeScript, but everything can be written with JavaScript as well.

Great, thank you @nduckwiler ! In the meantime I can prepare with your TypeScript course either for the Angular documentation or your upcoming course, I guess…

Definitely. Here’s the link to the TypeScript course in case any other viewers need it!

Hey @nduckwiler ,
I was just wondering if we could get an update on the new Angular course please? I’m really looking forward to it!
Many thanks

I would like to second this! Looking for an update regarding an Angular course. 
One year since I posted this and in the meantime I started learning React with the CC Frontend path. So I would rather prefer a Next.js course here to dig deeper into that subject now.
I get the impression that Angular decreases in popularity, not sure why that is though. This chart (from 2020) seems to confirm that. Anyone sharing my impression? Or contradicting it?
I hope they do develop an Angular course. I’ve also been waiting but just got offered an Angular job so I am forced to learn it right now. Going to do the interactive angular tutorials on Scrimba and Educative. Don’t have a choice now.
In terms of jobs it really depends on your local job market.
That would make 3 of us.
I really would like to get into Angular on a Codecademy’s curriculum as I’ve enjoyed the front-end curriculum so far, but I see they are going into React only.
It would be great to have an Angular 2 course on Codecademy!

I wish you had Angular 2 course. Your course is the best I know of. Going back to watching video tutorials now feels wrong.

@realkennylin ( I wish it were ready so I could learn it. LinkedIn learning doesn’t work as great as you. I will be patient. Hopefully is withing a month.
Just here to see if there any any updated plans to release an Angular 16+ course? Angular JS is so deprecated at this point it should really just be removed from the courses list.

Also looking to find out when the course is going to be refreshed.
