Learning Angular: A no-nonsense guide to building web applications with Angular 15, 4th Edition Paperback – 23 Feb. 2023

I love this book because anyone, regardless of experience has something to learn from it.Great explanation of the building blocks of Angular: TypeScript, Dependency Injection, Services, Components, Directives, Pipes, Observables and RxJS. The examples in the book is what you find in real life projects. Includes unit testing, error handling and debugging, getting app ready for production.It follows best practices, it is comprehensive and one can easily get back to later on. Highlighting of what's added new compared to the previous code examples is a nice touch which makes it easy to follow along and focusing on the context of the change. Good book to set your Angular standards in the place you work.Even if you are an experienced Angular developer you would still benefit from reading the book.The book covers most of the aspects of real life apps and is a very good starting point for any beginner Angular developers, by the end they will have all the knowledge to build an app confidently.

Every time when technology is getting updated, there must be amazing things around there is no doubt that sometimes a great programmer like to understand the essence and incorporate the same and enhance the application stability as well as standards. Of course, Angular is a new framework to help professional web applications.I come across the book called “Learning Angular” and found the amazing feeling that I have mentioned above. The authors have well planned and lined up the 16 chapters and covered a massive portion of Angular. I did a deep breath and digest sharing my observations and highlights here for reference for Web Developers those who are crazy to build strong web applications and enjoy every moment during the development.Let’s see them.The authors started with the “Building Your First Angular Application” chapter and gave the some of teaser on Angular and detailed structure of an angular application precisely an excellent deep-rooted walk-through on TypeScript is simply incredibly extremely useful and interesting.I could find a very detailed note about creating a module and organizing applications into modules, grouping them, application features discussion and leveraging built-in modules steps are giving clear insights into the angular framework and capabilities from a bird’s eye overview.Dealing with components in this software industry is always interesting and interactive, the authors have provided well-articulated content for the reader on this topic with extensive coverage including lifecycle, component inter-communication, encapsulating CSS styling, deciding on change detection strategy approaches, parent, and child components and many more.Directives and Pipes are key features of the angular framework, the authors have handled those topics in this book very exclusively by dealing with various characteristics like Transforming elements using directives, and standalone directives. Manipulating data with pipes, iterating through data, sorting data using pipes, creating components, and Toggling templates dynamically.This book is for JavaScript and full-stack developers dipping their feet first time in the world of frontend development with Angular, as well as that migrating to the Angular framework to build professional web applications. You’ll need prior exposure to JavaScript and a solid foundation in the basics of web programming before you get started with this book.The authors have given the proper guidance on how to use the Angular Dependency Injection (DI) mechanism and to create an angular application how that is correctly structured to enforce the Separation of Concerns (SoC) pattern using services. Sandboxing components with multiple instances procedures, Overriding providers and services are highly demanding concepts and must read.I was extremely impressed with Communicating with Data Services over HTTP chapter and the authors are dealing with handling CRUD data in Angular, Fetching and Modifying data through HTTP along with samples are astonishing.“Navigating through Application with Routing” and “Being Reactive Using Observables and RxJS”, topics are really major breakthrough and they covered remarkable stuff I felt these is really advanced topics and helpful for the above practitioner lever reader and get benefit out of them.As we all know that web applications use forms when it comes to collecting data from the user, with respect to the Angular framework and it provides two approaches to handling forms - template-driven and reactive. The authors have twirled all coins here and made us understand right from the introduction to forms, data binding with template-driven forms, validating controls in a reactive way, modifying forms dynamically and manipulating form data and watching state changes and being reactive mode. Crystal clear steps to create elegant reactive forms, elegant reactive forms and play around with all aspects and exclusive codes.Introduction to Angular Material is simply a super chapter I would day in just one linear. MUST need to understand the various controls in Angular, which I enjoyed thoroughly.Errors handling, Debugging, Unit testing and Production deploying point of view the authors have covered pretty much all necessary essences which are required to understand and implement goals precisely with respect to the Angular framework.Overall Learning Angular is the best way to learn the angular framework In & Out!All the very best to the authors. Overall, I can give 4.0/5.0 for this. Certainly, a special effort from the authors is much appreciated.-Shanthababu PandianArtificial Intelligence and Analytics | Cloud Data and ML Architect | Scrum MasterNational and International Speaker | Blogger
