I’ll start with this observation: if a book has reached its fifth edition, it’s clearly been deemed high quality by readers. And I completely agree with that—this book is undoubtedly one of the best for mastering Angular in all its aspects.
This is due to several factors: ⏺ Aristeidis is an Angular Google Developer Expert, so he clearly knows his stuff, but more importantly, he explains it clearly. The book is structured as a step-by-step guide, starting from the basics and, chapter by chapter, tackling increasingly complex topics. It combines theoretical concepts with hands-on implementation by developing a web app (so it’s best to study this book with your development environment ready to go!); ⏺ The book is updated to Angular 19, so in addition to covering all the essential topics for Angular development, it also includes the latest features like Signals and Server-Side Rendering; ⏺ It’s suitable for both complete beginners and those transitioning to Angular from other frameworks. While you do need some foundational web development knowledge (HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, which aren’t covered in the book), an introductory chapter on TypeScript proves particularly useful—whether you’re completely new to it or just need a refresher.
In conclusion, this is a truly effective book for learning Angular, as it covers everything from the basics to more advanced topics with the perfect balance of theory and practice. Thanks to the practical examples and the study project developed throughout the book, you’ll have the chance to dive right into hands-on learning! If you’re aiming to become a frontend developer, this is definitely the right book for you! ☑
