- [Instructor] This course will assume a basic understanding of Angular, Node, NPM, and GIT. If you're unfamiliar with Angular Two and beyond, I recommend you watch our course on Essential Training for Angular Two. If you don't have GIT installed on your system, go ahead and download it from git-scm.com. We will be using Node to install packages and to write our API. You can download Node at nodejs.org. You will need at least V6.10.0 for Node, and at least V3.10 for NPM. You can verify both in your terminal, or if you're on a Windows machine, using your command prompt. You can verify your Node version by typing in node --version and npm --version. If you don't know how to use NPM, I recommend you watch our course on NPM, the Node Package Manager. We will also be using Postman. A great cross-platform tool for developing and testing your APIs. You can download it at getpostman.com. It's cross platform so you should be able to use it no matter which OS you're running. Lastly, I'll be using Visual Studio Code as my main editor. You can download it from code.visualstudio.com. It's native typscript support, intelligent JavaScript code editing, and cross platform support, makes it the perfect choice for Angular and Node API development. I recommend that you use it to follow along, as it also has a built-in terminal, making it quick and easy to switch between your code and terminal commands, which we'll do frequently in this course.
