Key FeaturesLearn the fundamentals of Angular 15 to build web applicationsExplore the basics of Angular development, from components and templates to forms, routing, and servicesDiscover best practices for building, deploying, debugging, and testing Angular applicationsBook DescriptionAs Angular continues to reign as one of the top JavaScript frameworks, more developers are seeking out the best way to get started with this extraordinarily flexible and secure framework. Learning Angular, now in its fourth edition, will show you how you can use it to achieve cross-platform high performance with the latest web techniques, extensive integration with modern web standards, and integrated development environments (IDEs).
The book is especially useful for those new to Angular and will help you to get to grips with the bare bones of the framework to start developing Angular apps. You'll learn how to develop apps by harnessing the power of the Angular command-line interface (CLI), write unit tests, style your apps by following the Material Design guidelines, and finally, deploy them to a hosting provider.
Updated for Angular 15, this new edition covers lots of new features and tutorials that address the current frontend web development challenges. You'll find a new dedicated chapter on observables and RxJS, more on error handling and debugging in Angular, and new real-life examples.
By the end of this book, you'll not only be able to create Angular applications with TypeScript from scratch, but also enhance your coding skills with best practices.
What you will learnUse the Angular CLI to scaffold, build, and deploy a new Angular applicationBuild components, the basic building blocks of an Angular applicationDiscover new Angular Material components such as Google Maps, YouTube, and multi-select dropdownsUnderstand the different types of templates supported by AngularCreate HTTP data services to access APIs and provide data to componentsLearn how to build Angular apps without modules in Angular 15.x with standalone APIsImprove your debugging and error handling skills during runtime and developmentWho this book is forThis book is for JavaScript and full-stack developers dipping their feet first time in the world of frontend development with Angular, as well as those migrating to the Angular framework to build professional web applications. You'll need prior exposure JavaScript and a solid foundation in the basics of web programming before you get started with this book.

The overall impression of "Learning Angular 4th Edition" is positive, as the book provides a comprehensive and well-rounded introduction to Angular. However, for readers seeking cutting-edge content, it may come across as excessively explanatory.
One aspect that could benefit from improvement is the repetitive nature of the book's instructions. It would be helpful to have a dedicated section that demonstrates how to import various components, clarifying the purpose and location of each import. This would prevent the need for repeating the same instructions throughout the book. The repetitive nature of these instructions became somewhat tedious to read.
Overall, "Learning Angular 4th Edition" is a valuable resource for those looking for a thorough introduction to Angular. Despite some room for improvement, the book offers a solid foundation for understanding the framework and its core concepts.
Overall this is not a bad book, and the time allocated reading it is not "wasted". However, I believe Doguhan Uluca's book (/book/show/5...) was a more readable technical guide for Angular. While Bampakos's book gave a better understanding about some matter (for example, Dependency Injection and injection scopes are explained very detailed and well), some matters were much quick paced and better be skipped (Angular Material chapter was totally unnecessary if you'd ask me).
This book is a nice supplement after Doguhan's book. I just wished it was less "hands on" and more detailed on abstract concepts.
This is the first and best programming book I have ever read. I Knew the Angular before that, but I want to deepen more in theory of that, and this book with the simple and understandable words, helps me a lot, thanks a lot for this awesome book about Angular.
