Preface

As Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fifth edition, will show you how you can use Angular to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs).

This book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework needed to start developing Angular apps. You’ll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally, build them for production.

Updated for Angular 19, this new edition covers lots of new features and practices that address the current frontend web development challenges. You’ll find new dedicated chapters on signals and optimization, as well as more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples. By the end of this book, you’ll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch, but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.
