Overview of this book

Got some experience of Angular under your belt? Want to learn everything about using advanced features for developing websites? This book is everything you need for the deep understanding of Angular that will set you apart from the developer crowd. Angular has introduced a new way to build applications. Creating complex and rich web applications, with a lighter resource footprint, has never been easier or faster. Angular is now at release 4, with significant changes through previous versions. This book has been written and tested for Angular release 4. Angular is a mature technology, and you'll likely have applications built with earlier versions. This book starts by showing you best practices and approaches to migrating your existing Angular applications so that you can be immediately up-to-date. You will take an in-depth look at components and see how to control the user journey in your applications by implementing routing and navigation. You will learn how to work with asynchronous programming by using Observables. To easily build applications that look great, you will learn all about template syntax and how to beautify applications with Material Design. Mastering forms and data binding will further speed up your application development time. Learning about managing services and animations will help you to progressively enhance your applications. Next you’ll use native directives to integrate Bootstrap with Angular. You will see the best ways to test your application with the leading options such as Jasmine and Protractor. At the end of the book, you’ll learn how to apply design patterns in Angular, and see the benefits they will bring to your development.

Summary

Template Syntax and Data Binding are the skeleton and soul of Angular applications. We covered templates: how to include them in different ways and use expressions inside view templates. We then walked through templates by attaching events and attributes to them.

We explored aspects of Data Binding in Angular applications and focused on how to implement Data Binding for values inside the template.

In Data Binding, we delved into its broad categories. We explored available ways of Data Bindings: One-way Data Binding and Two-way Data Binding.

Using Data Binding and templates together, we can almost create mock functional screens for our Angular applications: that's the power of Data Binding and Template Syntax.

So, go ahead and let your creativity fly! Good luck.
