Throughout this cookbook examples, you’ll learn Angular — one of the most popular platforms for building front-end web applications
Using Angular, you can take advantage of a powerful TypeScript platform and tools to create applications for web, mobile, and desktop. TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript with powerful OOP abstracts and a strongly typed system that compiles to JavaScript.
With Angular, you have strong tools and design patterns to build either small or large web projects.
Angular is developed and maintained by Google. It has a large community which means you can find help on the web if you have any issues implementing your project requirements.
Our Angular learning path will offer the necessary tutorials, PDF books, for beginners, and examples to get started using this framework in your next project.
AngularJS was the most popular client-side framework among JavaScript developers for many years. Google introduced AngularJS in 2012. It’s based on a variation of the very popular Model-View-Controller pattern which is called Model-View-*.
The AngularJS framework was built on top of JavaScript with the aim to decouple the business logic of an application from the low-level DOM manipulation and create dynamic websites. Developers could use it to either create full-fledged SPAs and rich web applications or simply control a portion of a web page which makes it suitable for different scenarios and developer requirements.
Among the powerful concepts that were introduced by AngularJS, is the concept of data binding which enables the view to get automatically updated whenever the data (the model layer) is changed and inversely.
The concept of directives was also introduced by AngularJS, which allows developers to create their own custom HTML tags.
The other introduced concept is Dependency Injection, which allows developers to inject what’s called services (singletons that encapsulates a unique and re-usable functionality within an application) into other components that encourage re-usability of the code.
By learning Angular, you’ll have more chances of finding a job as a front-end developer! So in this learning path, will teach you the framework through building several examples from scratch.
You’ll learn about:
HttpClient
,This depends of what you mean by learning Angular. If you want to be able to build and deploy a production-ready Angular application in a reasonable timeframe, this will probably take byou etween 6 and 12 months depending on your background and existing skills.
If you have a good knowledge of the three pillars of the web i.e JavaScript, CSS and HTML, Angular may be easy to learn. If you are a beginner front-end web developer that would be very difficult.
You’ll need to have a good knowledge of HTML, CSS and JavaScript basics.
A basic Knowledge of TypeScript can be very helpful.
Angular is not like React, it’s a complete platform which includes all what you need to build frontend web apps, so learning it will take you more time. Let’s make the process easy for you by providing you with a roadmap.
If you are a beginner frontend web developer, you probably want to start by learning the basics of frontend web development i.e what we call the three pillars of the web, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. You don’t need to master these technologies but you should be familiar with the basics and build simple web pages with HTML, style them with CSS and add interactivity with JavaScript.
You can get started with HTML, JavaScript and CSS from our guides:
Angular makes use of TypeScript instead of plain JavaScript. TypeScript is a super-set of JavaScript that adds object oriented concepts and strong types to the language but before you can run your code in a web browser, you will need to compile it to JavaScript. We’ll see later that this is pre-configured for you in your Angular project.
These are some JavaScript guides in our website:
And this is our TypeScript tutorial(s):
