Summary

This chapter has set the foundation for all great applications that you will be building on top of Angular. The Angular dependency management implementation is, in fact, one of the gems of this framework and a time saver. Application architectures based on component trees and modules improve the development workflow and help us design application features. The Angular CLI does a great job of setting up a convenient workspace for working with large-scale Angular applications.

This chapter concludes our trip through the core of Angular and its application architecture, and has set the standards that we will follow from now on while building applications on top of this new and exciting framework.

In the next chapter, we will focus on concrete tools and modules that we can use to solve everyday problems when crafting our web projects. We will learn how to develop better HTTP networking clients with Angular.
