lynda.com's New Programming Courses Aim to Accelerate Web Development Skills

lynda.com, an online education company, today announces a new wave of front-end development and programming courses designed to teach members how to quickly and easily develop complex web applications. Web development skills are in high demand among employers, so the new tutorials are especially useful for college grads and those looking to expand their careers or launch new ones in software engineering. One of the recently released courses shows how to teach coding to children, giving them a competitive edge on the next generation's job market.

New courses include:

Up and Running with AngularJS with Ray Villalobos

Building applications is no longer reserved for experienced coders. In this course, full-time lynda.com author and programming veteran Ray Villalobos helps beginner and advanced coders develop single-page web applications fast using AngularJS. Ray shows users how to understand the practical uses of AngularJS with a directory search project-a traditional type of web app you can add to your existing sites. Learn the simple way to build your own complex web application.

CoffeeScript allows front-end developers to write JavaScript more beautifully and efficiently. This course teaches the best features from the CoffeeScript language, as well as how to write common JavaScript commands more effectively using CoffeeScript. Author Ray Villalobos also shows how to work with Gulp.js, a streaming build system for not only CoffeeScript, but also Sass, LESS, JavaScript, and CSS (News - Alert).
