Review
"Angular is a powerful web framework that helps teams build robust scalable applications. Angular continues to evolve but the core values remain the same: build a platform developers love to use, enable developers to build applications that users love to use, and have a community where everyone feels welcomed.
Angular Projects is a book that embraces these values and takes a unique approach to empower new and experienced developers to build great applications using Angular. Aristeidis uses a project-driven approach to help learners understand modern Angular techniques in an intriguing and accessible way. This guide will help learners to build their first application with the powerful Angular CLI, take advantage of Angular's strong PWA integration, build performant static applications with Scully, and more. This book will add significant value to developers looking to get the most out of their Angular experience.
As Angular continues to power incredible experiences inside Google and across the web this book will serve as an excellent learning resource for developers looking to build great apps."
