Part 1. Get acquainted with AngularJS

Welcome to the world of AngularJS! Part 1 of this book provides a high-level overview of AngularAS, as well as a gentle introduction to AngularJS through building a simple—yet useful—web application.

In chapter 1 we introduce all the major pieces of AngularJS and discuss what they do and how they fit together. We also introduce a simplified version of the book’s sample application and build it from the ground up. In chapter 2 we discuss how to assemble your AngularJS applications using best practices to make sure that your applications are maintainable and extensible.

By the end of part 1, you should have a good grasp of the major pieces of AngularJS and be conversational in how they all work together. If you work through how to build the sample application, you’ll also have a good foundation for beginning your AngularJS journey.
