Foreword

I realized how awesome Lukas was the day we met at ng-europe. After the conference, we started talking more and I participated in a hackathon he organized, and the other way around. The one passion we share, and what has brought us together, is helping people build awesome stuff. I know for a fact that was the reason he decided to write this book. Not for him, but for you!

AngularJS is quickly becoming one of the front-end frameworks to use. It’s also one of the most rapidly changing frameworks out there. In this book, you’ll learn how you can build an exciting application from top to bottom with AngularJS, while learning what controllers, templates, directives, services, factories, and providers are. Instead of an extensive in-depth guide to Angular’s features, in this book you’ll get a quick glance at what they are and then get your hands dirty so you can learn by using them! You’ll learn not only how to code this application, but also how to test it.

Angello is the exciting application—it uses some of the most interesting libraries out there for AngularJS. It’s a project management tool very similar to Trello. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement the different pieces of this application, and how to use ui-router, Auth0, and Firebase, among others.

I know you’ll find this book really useful. Happy hacking!
