Angular 12 HTTP Communication from Pluralsight

Nearly every Angular app needs to communicate with a server over HTTP. This course will teach you simple, as well as advanced, techniques to help you create and manage HTTP requests, responses as Observables, interceptors, and client-side caches.

Nothing is more fundamental to a web application than the HTTP protocol. In Angular HTTP Communication, you will learn sophisticated techniques to help you take full advantage of the HTTP client features built-in to Angular. First, you will explore how to communicate with a REST service. Next, you will discover how to modify HTTP requests and responses with interceptors and create a client-side cache. Finally, you will create unit tests to make sure your HTTP requests always do what you expect. When you're finished with this course, you will have an advanced understanding of the HTTP features included with Angular and the practical skills required to build well-structured, performance-oriented Angular applications that take full advantage of Angular's HTTP client.
