Key benefits

  • The first and best overview of Angular 2 on the market—this guide gathers together everything there is to know about Angular 2 and groups it into intuitive sections.
  • This book is your detailed map of every feature and its use cases.
  • The author has done all the hard work of fitting everything Angular 2 means for developers together for you, making this book the quickest way to learn Angular 2 from scratch.

Description

Angular 2 was conceived as a complete rewrite in order to fulfill the expectations of modern developers who demand blazing fast performance and responsiveness from their web applications. This book will help you learn the basics of how to design and build Angular 2 components right from the beginning, providing full coverage of the TypeScript syntax required to follow the examples included. From that point on, we will build upon our first components, interconnect them, and give shape to larger web applications. We will then move to implementing routing in Angular 2, analyzing how to handle application states, and navigating from one component to another in depth. After this, the book features full coverage of web forms and user input validation, later leveraging all of this information to go through the basics of implementing user authentication in Angular 2 and providing a bird’s eye view of the different strategies at hand to secure pages and areas of your website. Animating components and DOM elements with Angular 2 is also covered in this book. The final part of this book provides broad insights into how to unit test components and other modules such as services, directives, routes or pipes.

Who is this book for?

This book is targeted at web developers who want to build the next generation of state-of-the-art mobile and desktop web applications with Angular 2. This book does not require you to have prior exposure to either Angular 1.x or 2, although comprehensive knowledge of JavaScript is assumed. It's great for newcomers to Angular who learn best through clear explanations and definitions of concepts.

What you will learn

  • * Set up your working environment in order to have all the tools you need to start building Angular 2 components with minimum effort
  • * Get up to speed with TypeScript, a powerful typed superset of JavaScript that compiles to plain JavaScript
  • * Take full control of how your data is rendered and updated upon data changes
  • * Build powerful web applications based on structured component hierarchies that emit and listen to events and data changes throughout the elements tree
  • * Explore how to consume external APIs and data services and allow data editing by harnessing the power of web forms made with Angular 2
  • * Deliver seamless web navigation experiences with application routing and state handling common features with ease
  • * Discover how to bulletproof your applications by introducing smart unit testing techniques and debugging tools

That is very good start point to learn Angular2. The book drives us along an small angular2 application that cross along all the aspects of angular2 framework. It covers all modules. It is true that the book just cover the framework until RC.3 but it is enough to start learning angular2 from scratch and all the tools that involve a project: build tools and typescript. Code is clean and simple and it is very good explained (and self explained). So it shouldn't be difficult to update to RC4 following the CHANGELOG of the angular2 project. You have also a repo on github to see the code. You can clone it and play with the app. In my opinion is a very good book for those who want to start as soon as possible with an Angular2 application and want to go straight to the point.

Ich bin mit dem Buch fast am Ende und finde, dass die wesentlichen Funktionen von Angular2 verständlich und gut erklärt sind.Man arbeitet ein Beispiel durch, erweitert es von Kapitel zu Kapitel mit allen wichtigen Funktionen. Die Organisation eines größeren Projektes wird sehr gut erklärt. Den Beispielcode habe ich mir heruntergeladen und kann ihn mit kleineren Änderungen in der package.json auch laufen lassen.Nachdem man weiß, dass Angular2 noch keinen Releasestatus hat, kann man den Umstand, dass die Beispiele noch auf Basis von RC1 sind, nicht wirklich kritisieren. Es gibt noch kein anderes Buch zum Release da es den Release noch nicht gibt. Derzeit ist RC5 aktuell. Was man sich wünschen würde, wäre in einem solchen Fall, dass die Beispiele mit einer kurzen Beschreibung der Änderungen für die jeweils aktuellste Version auf der Downloadseite zu finden wären. Es gibt derzeit wesentliche Änderung im Routing und in anderen Teilen. Die Schreibweise und Platzierung der Befehle kann sich ändern, die generelle Organisation des Routing ändert sich aber nicht.

Un libro que te va introduciendo poco a poco en el mundo de Angular 2. Comienza de una forma muy suave e instalando todos los elementos necesarios para que la experiencia de aprendizaje sea óptima.Me costó coger el hilo al principio porque en muchos tutoriales se instala de una forma distinta el entorno. Salvado este escollo todo se hace muy entretenido y se aprende de forma escalada.He de reconocer que en algunos momentos me pierdo en algunas explicaciones, pero puede ser por falta de atención, falta de sueño, o falta de conocimientos previos.Le doy 5 estrellas porque es el primer libro sobre Angular 2 que me entusiasma y que ha hecho que reconsidere mi futuro como programador. Me gusta la didáctica que tiene a la hora de afrontar un tema en concreto. Si tengo que valorar algo negativo diré que a veces puedes perder el hilo del texto si no estás muy atento a las explicaciones.Un libro muy recomendable para aquellos que quieran dar un salto cualitativo en su carrera profesional como desarrollador de aplicaciones profesionales.

I love this book. It clarifies all the things I didn't understand when going through other resources, from decorators like @input, @output, @pipe, also providers, the provide function,... It also explains in detail components, directives, pipes, dependency injection. I just finished chapter 5 and looking forward to the rest of the book.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
