Chapter 13: Develop a Real-World Angular App

We have come so far on our epic journey with the Angular framework. And what a journey! We began by setting up the environment and the tooling that enhanced our developer experience. We learned how to create components and group them in modules. We saw how to structure an Angular 10 application and how to use services to communicate via HTTP. We investigated how to apply routing in our Angular app and how to use forms to collect data from users. Finally, we saw how to build and test our Angular 10 app and deploy it to a web server.

Usually, at the end of a journey, we want to share our adventures—what we saw, what we did, and what we experienced—with other people. Don't we? Well, we are going to do something similar to share our experiences with the Angular framework. We are going to build a real-world Angular 10 app that showcases many of the exciting things that we learned during this journey.
