ANGULAR UP & RUNNING LEARNING ANGULAR STEP BY STEP

by Shyam Seshadri

If you’re familiar with JavaScript, this hands-on guide will quickly get you up to speed on the Angular framework for building high-performance web-based desktop, mobile, and single-page applications. Initially dubbed Angular 2, this version is a complete rewrite from the same team that built the initial version of AngularJS. Developers familiar with that earlier version will also find this book to be a valuable resource. Author Shyam Seshadri takes you step-by-step through Angular’s core building blocks in detail. You’ll start by creating a simple Angular application before diving into Angular components, services, server calls, routing, and production requirements. By the end of the book, you’ll be ready to use Angular for your own applications. Set up your development environment to build Angular applications rapidly Use Angular directives to construct common functionality for your application Create and test Angular components for building effective user interfaces Manage user input by building template-driven and reactive forms Understand when to use built-in Angular services and when and how to create your own Make HTTP calls and handle use cases that surface when working with servers Use Angular’s routing module to encapsulate various pages and pieces using a different route Build an Angular application for production and learn how to deploy a performant Angular application

It's REALLY outdated since it was written based on Angular 5 (it's currently up to version 11 in 2021), but it was kind of fun having to research how to update the code in the exercises.

Look elsewhere if you need to learn Angular in 2021 though.

Great book, that takes you through a variety of Angular features. This is Angular 1.x though, so there's a fair few changes since. But, using the code samples to write an Angular 19 equivalent works, or reverting to an old version of Angular - to follow along.

Beginner friendly. Some of the code is now outdated considering this book is 4 years old.
