Angular is one of the leading frameworks to develop apps across all platforms. Reuse your code and build fast and high performing apps for any platform be it web, mobile web, native mobile and native desktop. You use small manageable components to build a large powerful app. No more wasting time hunting for DOM nodes!

In this book, we take you on a fun, hands-on and pragmatic journey to master Angular from a web development point of view. You'll start building Angular apps within minutes. Every section is written in a bite-sized manner and straight to the point as I don’t want to waste your time (and most certainly mine) on the content you don't need. In the end, you will have what it takes to develop a real-life app.

This book is absolutely a great introduction to Angular. The author updates the book, so you always have an up-to-date version, when Angular is updated. Even with knowledge of the framework, the book is still a great glossary to have next to your PC. I would recommend this book if you like learning by reading and want to learn Angular!

I'm a veteran web developer of 20 years. I wanted to catch up on more modern web frameworks. This book was perfect for getting started. It has helped me get a good start and adapt to a new project at work. With slight adjustments, the code runs perfectly with Angular version 15. Knowledge of JavaScript and TypeScript is recommended, but may not be necessary.

Un libro que permite aprender rápidamente conceptos básicos de Angular, ponerlos en práctica por medio de muy buenos ejercicios y ejemplos, además de ser conciso y directo. Un libro recomendado para iniciarse en este framework de desarrollo.

Ok as a start, but leans too heavily on firebase.

I wish this book focused on angular itself in greater detail, and not spend so much time working with angularfire and firebase specific concepts.

Great book for getting the basics down


Could dive deeper into Observables and RxJS but that is outside the courses scope. Ultimately a great book for any skill level js developer
