Summary

In this chapter, we learned about the basic principles of the Angular framework and provided a brief overview of the Angular architecture. We saw some popular extensions for VS Code that we can use to enhance our development experience while working with Angular.

Then, we learned how to use the Angular CLI, a powerful tool of the Angular ecosystem, to scaffold and build a new Angular application from scratch. We also made our first interaction with Angular code by modifying the Angular component of a typical Angular CLI application. Finally, we installed the Nx Console extension and learned how to build our application.

In the next chapter, we will look at the Angular Router and learn how to use it to create a personal blog, using the Scully static website generator.
