The Angular framework, powered by Google, is the framework of choice for many web development projects built across varying scales. It's known to provide much-needed stability and a rich tooling ecosystem for building production-ready web and mobile apps. This recipe-based guide enables you to learn Angular concepts in depth using a step-by-step approach. You'll explore a wide range of recipes across key tasks in web development that will help you build high-performance apps.
The book starts by taking you through core Angular concepts such as Angular components, directives, and services to get you ready for building frontend web apps. You'll develop web components with Angular and go on to cover advanced concepts such as dynamic components loading and state management with NgRx for achieving real-time performance. Later chapters will focus on recipes for effectively testing your Angular apps to make them fail-safe, before progressing to techniques for optimizing your app's performance. Finally, you'll create Progressive Web Apps (PWA) with Angular to provide an intuitive experience for users.
By the end of this Angular book, you'll be able to create full-fledged, professional-looking Angular apps and have the skills you need for frontend development, which are crucial for an enterprise Angular developer.
Review
"I have known and worked with Ahsan for more than 10 years. Ahsan is one of the global Angular community's leading experts.
Ahsan has written this comprehensive book as a tour de force in which he takes his readers on a journey of understanding the core concepts of Angular and how to implement unit and end-to-end tests in Angular apps. The recipes vary from covering template-driven and reactive forms to exploring how to create your very own custom form controls. What's more, you'll not only learn about things such as Angular animations, the Angular router, and state management with NgRx but also dive into some amazing tools and APIs from the Angular CDK. And, last but not least, you'll build something that the industry has been talking about for years, Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), with Angular.
In short, Ahsan has transformed years of learning and experience to create this book. The book gives you the experience of real-life scenarios and their technical solutions in the form of recipes. With these recipes, the source code, and the way Ahsan takes you through the content, you'll certainly learn a lot and will enhance yourself as a software engineer and an Angular developer."
