Modern Web Development with Angular

Learn modern Angular development and jumpstart your web development journey

Key Features
● Learn Angular from scratch, starting with setup and basic application structure to advanced topics like component communication and unit testing.
● Practical examples and step-by-step instructions to build multi-page reactive and real-world applications.
● Learn best practices for unit testing Angular components to ensure quality and maintainability.

Book Description
Angular is one of the most popular and powerful frameworks for building dynamic, scalable web applications. With its robust ecosystem, it’s widely used to create high-performance, enterprise-level applications.

This book offers a hands-on approach to mastering Angular, guiding you from setting up your development environment to exploring advanced topics like unit testing. You’ll start by learning how to set up Angular and create your first application, followed by gaining a solid understanding of TypeScript, enhancing your ability to work with Angular’s strongly typed features.

The book covers core building blocks like components, directives, pipes, and services, providing a strong foundation for robust applications. You’ll also explore Angular’s reactivity system and how to handle asynchronous data to build dynamic UIs. It dives into component communication, data flow, and both Reactive and Template-Driven forms, helping you implement form validation and handle user input effectively.

Additionally, you’ll master Angular’s routing system, use Jest for unit testing, and explore new features like control flow syntax, Standalone components, and Signals. By the end, you’ll be confident in building and managing Angular applications.

What you will learn
● Set up your development environment and create your first Angular app.
● Master TypeScript fundamentals and its role in enhancing Angular development.
● Learn Angular's core components, directives, pipes, and services.
● Explore Angular's reactive programming model for handling asynchronous data and building dynamic UIs.
● Pass data between components using input/output properties, event emitters, and services.
● Understand Angular’s routing system for seamless navigation in single-page applications.
