Ebook: Become A Ninja With Angular (2023-06-14)

his ebook helps you get the philosophy of Angular (currently 16.1.3), the new tools (like ES2015, TypeScript, SystemJS, Webpack, Angular CLI...), and each part of the framework in a pragmatic way. You will be able to kickstart your project by the end of the reading, and build your amazing apps!

AngularJS is incredibly productive once you have mastered it. Despite all of this, it doesn’t prevent us from seeing its weaknesses. AngularJS is not perfect, with some very difficult concepts to grasp, and traps hard to avoid. Most of all, the Web has changed since AngularJS was conceived. jаvascript has changed. New frameworks have emerged, with great ideas, or better implementation. We are not the kind of developers to tell you that you should use this tool instead of that one. We just happen to know some tools very well, and know what fits the project. AngularJS was one of those tools, allowing us to build well-tested web applications, and to build them fast. We also tried to bend it where it didn’t fit. Don’t blame us, it happens to the best of us.

Will Angular be the tool we will use without hesitation in our future projects? It’s hard to say right now, because the framework is really young and the ecosystem only just blooming. But Angular has a lot of interesting points, and a vision that few other frameworks have. It has been designed for the Web of tomorrow, with ECMAScript 6, Web Components and Mobile in mind.
