Overview of this book

<p>Angular 2 will help you build faster, more efficient, and more flexible cross-platform applications. Angular 2 is known for taking the pain out of JavaScript development, and enabling more organized, readable, and testable code.</p> <p>This book builds three apps with varying degrees of complexity. It starts with a simple ‘Guess the Number’ game, which serves as a platform to launch you into the world of Angular. Next, you will learn to construct a popular ‘7-Minute Workout’ app, covering the building blocks of Angular. The final app, ‘Personal Trainer’ morphs the existing ‘7-Minute Workout’ into a full-fledged personal workout builder and runner, covering advanced directive building, which is the most fundamental and powerful feature of Angular.</p> <p>In addition to this, you will learn about testability and the framework constructs Angular provides to effectively test your app. The book concludes by providing you with practical advice and useful tips that will come in handy as you build more and more apps with Angular.</p>

Some seed projects integrate the framework with a specific backend and some only dictate/provide Angular-specific content. Some come preconfigured with vendor-specific libraries/frameworks (such as LESS, SASS, Bootstrap, and FontAwesome) whereas others just provide a plain vanilla setup.

Some of the notable seed projects worth exploring are as follows:

  • Angular 2 Webpack Starter (http://bit.ly/ng2webpack): This seed repo serves as an Angular 2 starter for anyone looking to get up and running with Angular 2 and TypeScript fast. It uses Webpack (module bundler) to build our files and assist with boilerplate. It is a complete build system with a substantial number of integrations.

  • Angular 2 Seed (http://bit.ly/ng2seed): Another seed project similar to Angular 2 Webpack starter. This seed project uses gulp for build automation, and the module bundler system...
