Angular
Angular is a popular tool for building modern websites and mobile applications. It was created by Google and helps developers create interactive websites that respond quickly to user actions. Think of it like a pre-built toolkit that developers use to create the parts of websites that users see and interact with. It's similar to other tools like React or Vue.js. Angular is particularly good at creating complex business applications and is often used by large companies. When you see this on a resume, it means the person knows how to build the visual and interactive parts of websites that users engage with.
