DESCRIPTION
When developers move beyond building simple web sites or small
applications, things get complicated. Managing data gets messy, handling
browser incompatibilities takes time, juggling competing user interactions
and integrating the work of multiple developers gets tricky. The Angular
2 framework handles these common problems, making it ideal for writing
large-scale web applications that can be maintained, extended, and tested.
Because it’s popular, it offers a well-supported code base, vibrant
community, and rich ecosystem. Best of all, Angular 2 emphasizes
performance and focuses on mobile apps by being compact and memory
efficient.
Angular 2 in Action teaches readers modern application development with Angular 2. It begins with the basics, such as key features of TypeScript,
newer ES6 syntax and concepts, and details about the tools needed to
write professional Angular 2 applications. Next, readers learn how to
build an Angular 2 application from scratch. Using many examples, the
book teaches the core parts of Angular 2, such as Components, the
Router, and Services. It also covers techniques like server-side rendering
and incrementally adding Angular 2 to existing Angular applications.
Finally, if offers insight into advanced skills, such as testing, tooling
options, and performance tuning.
KEY FEATURES • Gives the complete picture of the Angular 2 ecosystem.
• Teaches key features and tools
• Builds an entire Angular 2 app from scratch
• Full of hands-on examples
• Up to date with latest changes to Angular 2 AUDIENCE
This book assumes knowledge of JavaScript. No prior exposure to AngularJS
or other web frameworks is required. Knowledge of JQuery is beneficial.
