Overview of this book

Angular, loved by millions of web developers around the world, continues to be one of the top JavaScript frameworks thanks to its regular updates and new features that enable fast, cross-platform, and secure frontend web development. With Angular, you can achieve high performance using the latest web techniques and extensive integration with web tools and integrated development environments (IDEs). Updated to Angular 10, this third edition of the Learning Angular book covers new features and modern web development practices to address the current frontend web development landscape. If you are new to Angular, this book will give you a comprehensive introduction to help you get you up and running in no time. 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 deploy them to a hosting provider. The book is especially useful for beginners to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework needed to start developing Angular apps. 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.

Summary

Now that we have reached this point, it is fair to say that you know almost everything it takes to build Angular components, which are indeed the wheels and the engine of all Angular applications. In the forthcoming chapters, we will see how we can design our application architecture better, and therefore manage dependency injection throughout our components tree, consume data services, and leverage the new Angular router to show and hide components when required.

Nevertheless, this chapter is the backbone of Angular development, and we hope that you enjoyed it as much as we did when writing about pipes and directives. Now, get ready to assume new challenges—we are about to move f rom learning how to write components to discovering how we can use them to build larger applications while enforcing good practices and rational architectures. We will see all this in the next chapter.
