Angular by Google is a framework for building web applications. It is a completely new product as compared to AngularJS.
AngularJS was known to have performances issues, and it's not necessarily very easy to get started with. Everything could go well as long as you knew the very specifics and potential bottlenecks of the framework. In addition, AngularJS was often seen as a big toolbox, with a lot of tools inside, letting you build applications in many different ways, ending in various implementations of the same logic depending on the developer.
Angular brings tremendous improvements performance-wise, while being a much simpler and straightforward framework to use. Angular simply allows you to do more with less.
Google has announced from the start of the development of Angular that the framework would be a whole new product and wouldn’t be compatible with AngularJS, while they might try to offer some tools to ease the transition. Often, rewriting your application from scratch might be the best solution to migrate it. In that context, it will be necessary for the developer to learn the key parts of the Angular framework in order to bootstrap an application and the best practices to develop it as well as the existing tools to debug and benchmark the application.
Taking a complete journey through the most valuable design patterns and providing clear guidance on how to effectively use them in Angular, this book gives you access to one of the best ways to learn Angular and use it to meet stability and quality required in today's web development.
We will take the reader on a journey across Angular designs for the real world with a combination of case studies, design patterns to follow, and anti-patterns to avoid.
By the end of the book, you will have learned about the various features of Angular and be able to apply well-known, industry-proven design patterns in your work.
