Use the Angular CLI to scaffold, build, and deploy new Angular applications
Create Angular applications using standalone APIs
Build rich components with Angular template syntax
Apply reactivity patterns with the RxJS library and Signals
Craft beautiful user interfaces using Angular Material
Create HTTP data services to access APIs and provide data to components
Improve your debugging and error handling skills during runtime and development
Optimize application performance with SSR and hydration techniques
Aristeidis has done a great job of taking someone from little to no knowledge Angular to being able to understand how to build a great project from start to finish. Even having worked in Angular for several years I found a few pieces in the first couple of chapters that I had not seen before that I look forward to bringing into my own projects. You could be a first day developer and being able to work through this book and be able to understand the concepts being presented fairly easily, in my opinion, and should be a great place to start with Angular for anyone just getting going. Clear, concise, and helpful the whole way through. Read more

This new edition is one of the most approachable overview books for Angular I have seen in the modern era. I think this would be a great book for people looking to get into Angular fresh, whether you come from other frameworks or are fresh with frontend with some basics or are getting back to Angular since many versions ago. The review of JS and then TS essentials was a good refresher and something I wish I went over when I started. The follow along project felt realistic and was nice to iterate new ideas upon. And the pacing didn't feel too fast or too slow. My one criticism is that some state assignments done in ngOnInit blocks could be lifted out directly to component variable declarations, but anyone starting from this book would already be ahead of the curve.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?
If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.
Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?
We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.
When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.
How accurate is the publication date?
The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.
How will I know when new chapters are ready?
We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.
I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?
Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.
How is Early Access delivered?
Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.
How do I buy Early Access content?
Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.
What is Early Access?
Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
