about this book
This book is for experienced web developers who are new to Angular. It doesn’t explain the basics of web applications or programming. I don’t describe server-side development in any detail—see my other books if you want to create the back-end services required to support Angular applications.
How this book is organized—a roadmap
This book is divided into three parts, each of which delves into a set of related topics.
In Part 1, titled "Getting started with Angular," you'll find all the information you need to prepare for the rest of the book. It includes primers and refreshers for critical technologies such as HTML and TypeScript, which is a superset of JavaScript used in Angular development. Additionally, you'll learn how to build your first Angular application and take a step-by-step approach to building a more realistic application called SportsStore.
Part 2 of the book, "Angular in detail," covers the building blocks provided by Angular for creating applications. You'll work through each of these in turn and learn about Angular's built-in functionality, as well as endless customization options.
Finally, in Part 3, "Advanced Angular features," you'll discover how to use advanced features to create more complex and scalable applications. You'll learn how to make asynchronous HTTP requests in an Angular application and explore other advanced features.
