Book Description

Angular is an open-source, front-end, component-based framework for building web applications using TypeScript. Written by an Angular specialist working with some of the biggest companies in the Netherlands, Effective Angular teaches you how to harness the full potential of the Angular framework to build scalable and enterprise-ready applications. Starting with different front-end architecture designs and setting up a scalable environment for Angular applications and libraries using Nx, the book then takes you through the framework's newest and most powerful features. You’ll learn to manipulate the Document Object Model (DOM) with Angular directives, pipes, and animations, and build reusable components like a pro. The book also spotlights best practices and flags potential pitfalls at every step of the way, ensuring smooth navigation as you go deep into the complexities of Angular development. Next, you’ll learn about design patterns suited to the Angular framework, delve into reactive programming with RxJS and Angular signals, and understand how to manage application states effectively. Lastly, the book will teach you about accessibility, testing, and optimizing your application for deployment. By the end of this book, you’ll know how to use Angular effectively to build enterprise-ready and scalable front-end applications.
