Overview of this book

<p>AngularJS makes web JavaScript web development less painful and more organized – it’s unsurprising that today it’s one of the most popular tools in web development.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example helps you get started with this essential web development framework quickly and easily, guiding you through AngularJS by showing you how to create your own real-world applications. By adopting this approach, you can bridge the gap between learning and doing immediately, as you follow the examples to learn the impressive features of Angular and experience a radically simple–and powerful–approach to web development.</p> <p>You’ll begin by creating a simple Guess the Number game, which will help you get to grips with the core components of Angular, including its MVC architecture, and learn how each part interacts with one another. This will give you a solid foundation of knowledge from which you can begin to build more complex applications, such as a 7 minute workout app and an extended personal trainer app. By creating these applications yourself, you will find out how AngularJS manages client-server interactions and how to effectively utilize directives to develop applications further. You’ll also find information on testing your app with tools such as Jasmine, as well as tips and tricks for some of the most common challenges of developing with AngularJS.</p> <p>AngularJS by Example is a unique web development book that will help you get to grips with AngularJS and explore a powerful solution for developing single page applications.</p>

Chapter 4. Building Personal Trainer

The 7 Minute Workout app has been an excellent opportunity for us to learn about AngularJS. Working through the app, we have covered a number of AngularJS constructs. Still, there are areas such as AngularJS form (HTML) support and client-server communication that remain unexplored. This is partially due to the fact that 7 Minute Workout from a functional standpoint had limited touchpoints with the end user. Interactions were limited to starting, stopping, and pausing the workout. Also, the app neither consumes, nor produces any data (except workout history).

In this chapter, we plan to delve deeper into one of the two aforementioned areas, AngularJS form support. Keeping up with the health and fitness theme (no pun intended), we plan to build a Personal Trainer app. The new app will be an extension to 7 Minute Workout, allowing us to build our own customized workout plans that are not limited to the 7 Minute Workout plans that we already have.
