Starting Projects the Right Way
Angular is a framework that has the motto “batteries included” as a development philosophy. This means that practically all the resources you need for your frontend application needs are already available as soon as you create a new project.
In this chapter, you will understand why choose Angular for your web application, what its main characteristics and design are, and why companies, especially the biggest ones, choose Angular as the main framework for developing single-page applications.
You will explore the technologies that make up the framework and thus take greater advantage of possible alternatives if you need them for a specific case. You’ll also set up your workspace with the best tools to help you and your team’s productivity.
In this chapter, we’re going to cover the following topics:
- Why choose Angular?
- What technologies are present in the ecosystem?
- Configuring your development environment
- Starting an Angular project
- Using the Angular Command-Line Interface (CLI) for your productivity
By the end of this chapter, you will have arguments for using Angular in your project and be more productive in your development workspace.
