This book will demystify Angular as a framework, as well as provide clear instructions and examples on how to get started with writing scalable Angular applications. Angular: Up & Running covers most of the major pieces of Angular, but in a structured manner that is generally used in hands-on training. Each chapter takes one concept, and use examples to cover how it works. Problems to work on (with solutions) at the end of each chapter reinforce the learnings of each chapter and allow readers to really get hands-on with Angular.
If you want to get started with AngularJS, either as a side project, an additional tool, or for your main work, this practical guide teaches you how to use this meta-framework step-by-step, from the basics to advanced concepts. By the end of the book, you'll understand how to develop a large, maintainable, and performant application with AngularJS. Guided by two engineers who worked on AngularJS at Google, you'll learn the components needed to build data-driven applications, using declarative programming and the Model-view-controller pattern. You'll also learn how to conduct unit tests on each part of your application. Learn how to use controllers for moving data to and from views Understand when to use AngularJS services instead of controllers Communicate with the server to store, fetch, and update data asynchronously Know when to use AngularJS filters for converting data and values to different formats Implement single-page applications, using ngRoute to select views and navigation Dive into basic and advanced directives for creating reusable components Write an end-to-end test on a live version of your entire application Use best practices, guidelines, and tools throughout the development cycle
