After stumbling across the 5th or 6th error I began to read every line with skepticism. Every twenty pages or so I would find another error ranging from transposing line numbers of the example code references to missing spaces between words to plain grammatical errors and syntax inconsistencies.

I was also annoyed at the lazy writing which included repeating descriptions for Listings/Examples verbatim, and yet glancing over topics for being similar to other topics covered.

I would recommend finding another book if you truly wish to learn Angular.

I gave up on this book. The content wasn't bad but I couldn't get into it because the editors did such a lousy job with it. I noticed both technical and grammatical errors.
