From the Preface Who Should Read This Book This book is for anyone who is looking to get started with Angular (2.0 and onward), whether as a side project, as an additional tool, or for their main work. It is expected that readers are comfortable with JavaScript and HTML before starting this book, but a basic knowledge of JavaScript should be sufficient to learn Angular. Knowledge of AngularJS 1.0 is not needed or expected. We will also use TypeScript, which is the recommended way of developing in Angular, but a preliminary knowledge is sufficient to read this book. We will take it step by step, so relax and have fun learning with me. Why I Wrote This Book Angular as a framework has grown immensely, and comes with a large set of features and capabilities. With a large community behind it, it also comes with an influx of helpful content. But the help content, tutorials, and guides are either focused only on particular topics, or sporadic and not necessarily useful for someone getting started. The aim of this book is to provide a step-by-step guide on getting started with Angular. Each concept is provided in a logical, organized fashion, building on top of the previous one. With so many moving parts and an active community, this book does not intend to cover each and every aspect, but instead focuses on the core building blocks in a detailed fashion while letting readers discover the rest on their own. At the end of the book, you should be familiar with a majority of the Angular framework, and be able to use Angular to develop your own web applications and use it in your own projects. A Word on Web Application Development Today JavaScript has come a long way, to the point where it is one of the most widely used and adopted programming languages. Nowadays, it’s rare for web developers to have to worry about browser inconsistencies and the like, which was the primary reason for frameworks like jQuery to have existed. Frameworks (like Angular and React) are now a very common choice for developing frontend experiences, and it is rare for anyone nowadays to decide to build a frontend application without leveraging one. The advantages of using frameworks are manifold, from reducing boilerplate code, to providing a consistent structure and layout for developing an application to many more. The primary intent is always to reduce the time spent on cruft, and focus more on the major functionality we want to provide. And if it works across browsers (and platforms, like Android and iOS, in addition to desktop), then more power to it. Angular (as well as other frameworks) provides this, primarily through some core fundamentals that are at the heart of the framework, including: Powerful templating syntax driven by declarative programming Modularity and separation of concerns Data binding, and through it, data-driven programming Testability and awesome testing support Routing and navigation And a host of other features, from server-side rendering, to the ability to write native mobile applications, and much more!
