Description

Angular, loved by millions of web developers around the world, continues to be one of the top JavaScript frameworks thanks to its regular updates and new features that enable fast, cross-platform, and secure frontend web development. With Angular, you can achieve high performance using the latest web techniques and extensive integration with web tools and integrated development environments (IDEs). Updated to Angular 10, this third edition of the Learning Angular book covers new features and modern web development practices to address the current frontend web development landscape. If you are new to Angular, this book will give you a comprehensive introduction to help you get you up and running in no time. You'll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally deploy them to a hosting provider. The book is especially useful for beginners to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework needed to start developing Angular apps. By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.

Who is this book for?

The Angular TypeScript book is for JavaScript and full-stack developers who want to enter the world of frontend development with Angular or migrate to the Angular framework to build professional web applications. Familiarity with web and programming concepts will assist with understanding the content covered in the book.

Disclaimer: The publisher asked me to review this book, and gave me a copy to read through. As someone who uses Angular at my job frequently, the opinions on topics included are 100% my own.Overview:This book serves as a good introduction of both Angular and TypeScript. I started using these in January of 2019 and have learned much about these concepts since then. It utilizes some of the information in Angular's Tour of Heroes guide, which is quite useful on its own, but pairs well here.What I Like:The book illustrates concepts that are good to know when developing in Angular. Important features of Angular are discussed and built towards, specifically component input/output, observables, and building and deploying Angular apps to a production environment. Other significant concepts are discussed, including validation, component libraries, animation, and unit testing, which are great to be familiar with when working in a professional capacity.What I Dislike:I would have liked for the real world app in Chapter 13 to be something completely separate from the Tour of Heroes app idea, instead opting for something utilizing a public API to reflect consuming external data. However, this Tour of Heroes app presented at the end of the book is a nice alternative to the Todo App that most frontends opt to implement to demonstrate their functionality.What I Would Like To See:I would like to see a chapter moving forward that discusses some of the Angular 10-specific features, such as the new ng new --strict command, which can be used to optimize your Angular project in terms of runtime complexity and project size. I feel like this is well-warranted given that this book targets Angular 10.Final Thoughts:Overall, I wish I would have had a book like this starting out. In just 430 pages, I would have been able to get up to speed much faster in my first job where I used Angular. I feel like it hits the high points well, and provides you with enough to get started with production work. Once you finish this, you will have the tools you need to seek out that which this book doesn't cover (namely, other component libraries, optional packages, etc.), and should be ready to use Angular in your web workflow. As someone with professional experience with both Angular and React, I personally find myself preferring Angular overall for its well defined validation and unit testing by default, and would recommend this book to anyone getting started with the framework.

Disclaimer:The publisher invited me to review this book and offered a review copy to me. Here, I promise to be 100% sincere in how I feel about this book both good and less so.Overview:This book is typically useful for any front-end or full stack software engineer who is completely new to the web development or has some JavaScript web development experiences but wishes to jump into the Angular world playing with the typescript.What I Really Enjoy:This book is super friendly to the new Angular learner and it will walk you through the important Angular component and concepts. The book illustrates the basic building blocks and structure of Angular application, and teaches you to create your first angular app from scratch and discuss how to bring a real application to production which is especially useful for the less experienced developers. It also helps you learn how to write the proper unit test for angular components, pipes, routes and services which is also a daily job for angular developers.What I Don't Like:Although Angular Ivy was officially introduced in Angular 9 and this book is targeting Angular 10. But big improvements like Ivy engine, it is still worth spending some pages to discuss, or at least give a brief introduction for this important new feature.There is no discussion about the e2e testing or an introduction to use protractor - the official end to end testing framework for angular apps. Protractor can help run e2e tests like a user in a real browser against your angular application which is very useful as test-driven practice.What I Would Like to See:I would like to see more discussions on recently introduced changes or improvements between Angular release, like Ivy compiler and runtime or the new flag for the strict mode . Angular framework has been through lots of design and technical changes since its beginning , it is easy to disorient the newcomers to the Angular ecosystem. So it's worth spending more ink on it.I also would like a new chapter to contribute to the end to end testing part and present how to setup and use the protractor framework.Overall, just like the subtitle ,this book has no-nonsense. Writing a good book for the beginners never be an easy job but this book is well done for it. It guides you on major angular development topics. I wish I had the same opportunity like the readers of this book when I jumped into the angular world two years ago, it could save me a lot of effort and become more productive in a short time.

Very clear and to the point. I wish more technical books were written this way.
