Book Description

As one of the leading web development frameworks, AngularJS offers a simple and lightweight solution to modern web application development. This collection of practical project blueprints offers you a seamless learning experience, giving you step-by-step information that you can follow and then adapt to create your own single-page web applications. Through each project you will explore the extensive features and functionality of AngularJS, allowing you to discover its full potential as a web development tool.

Begin by looking into the structure of a single page application and start exploring AngularJS by creating a simple address book application. You’ll then be ready to look further into the AngularJS development workflow, with guidance on setting up your development rig with Node.js, Grunt and Yeoman. Go further and explore how to prototype with AngularJS by getting to grips with effective design with grid layouts and Bootstrap, before diving into techniques and tools for handling data and working with REST web services. Building on everything you will have learned you’ll then create more extensive applications including a Facebook Friends Birthday reminder application, and an expense manager mobile application to get you into the core components of mobile app development. Going further beyond, you will also find a blueprint to help you build a MEAN stack, giving you an insight and guidance on the very latest in web development and use Amazon web services for a simple deployment solution.

Each blueprint featured is a valuable AngularJS tutorial, giving developers a practical insight into one of the most effective frameworks for web application development.
